3. How to choose the material suitable for your packaging box

Now that we have discussed the product style, let's review the different material options and the best time to use. Although there are many material finishes and thicknesses, the most common finishes are tinplate, tinplate, and aluminum. The most common tinplate thickness ranges from 0.23 to 0.35mm. There are several factors that can determine the best finish and thickness of your custom tinplate packaging.

First, we need to determine how big the tinplate box needs to be. You can achieve this in many ways, but the easiest way is to put the products you plan to ship on the table in front of you, how do you want them to look inside the tinplate box, and then just use a tape measure to measure the total space required . Remember that you need to measure length (from left to right), width (from front to back) and depth (from bottom to top). We usually recommend adding 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch to the size you measure to create a suitable size box. If you want to add a custom groove to hold the product in place during shipping, our team can help design and test different ideas. The most important thing to remember when determining the size of a custom tinplate is that you don’t Hope becomes bigger.

4. Choose tinplate box decoration graphics!

  Once the product style, material and size are determined, the printing color design begins! It's time to unleash your creativity and fill the box with graphics! We need you to provide the company logo and any other art assets you want to include to completely customize your tinplate. Because these tinplate boxes are printed in four colors or spot colors, you will not be charged or limited to a certain number of colors like when using traditional manufacturing methods such as flexographic printing. In the graphic design stage, it is important to recognize the difference between raster images and vector artwork so that you can get the best-looking prints.

A raster image is composed of pixels, small squares arranged in a grid pattern, and each small square has a specified color. Close up, they look like small squares, but together they can create a complete detailed image. The important thing to remember is that if you don’t look blocky and pixelated, you can’t make a small image (such as a 100 pixel x 100 pixel image) into a larger image. So always use the largest photo when printing! Digital photos taken with smartphones will use the raster image file type. Common raster image file types include JPG, TIFF, GIF, PNG. When looking for printing raster images, it is important to have the highest possible resolution file. It is recommended to use 300 DPI (dots per inch).

Compared with raster images, vector images are actually composed of points and mathematical calculations, allowing you to zoom infinitely without losing sharpness. This makes vector images ideal for company logos, graphics, and text. Therefore, when dealing with graphics and logos, please use vector files such as SVG whenever possible.
