The era of packaging prepress automation is coming (Part 2)

In the previous article, we learned about the solution to the difficulties of the two pre-press processes in the automated pre-press process. Next, let's understand the other two difficult solutions to improve the efficiency of the pre-press work of the package through the automated pre-press process.

Difficult point three ----- complex imposition process

Difficult description:

1) The packaging box types are different, and due to the different structure of the box cover, flaps and other parts, when doing the imposition of the packaging box, the insertion between the box types needs to be considered to meet the paper saving requirements of the imposition process. Because the insertion needs to accurately set the arrangement distance between each box type, it is difficult for the user to operate, and because precise alignment is required, the user's mouse movement will have a greater impact.

2) The packaging box has structural lines, and the die-cutting process requires bleeding settings at the position of cutting and indentation, so when imposition, it is necessary to set the packaging box according to the distance between the structural lines and the relationship between different components of the box type It is very difficult for the pre-press staff to manually adjust the bleeding.

3) The large version of the file contains many packaging boxes, and the common knife settings of these packaging boxes need to be set, so if the user uses manual settings, it will take a long time.

4) When printing and die-cutting the packaging box, the effect of the box in the same position on the large version after printing is relatively close. If there is a problem with a certain box, you can find the box with the same box number to facilitate the printing company to control the production quality. The large version of the file contains multiple packaging boxes and different box types, so it is time-consuming for users to manually add, and the distinction between different box types also causes trouble for users.

Difficulty analysis: The above-mentioned 4 major difficulties in the packaging imposition process are all related to printing costs and post-press processing; one of the most concerned issues of packaging and printing companies is cost. It is very important to save things. According to users, if a large version can save 10% of the material, then the cost of hundreds of thousands of copies can save tens of thousands of dollars.

Automated imposition solution: The imposition software currently on the market has imposition modules in the PDF process, as well as independent imposition software; for packaging and printing companies or plate making enterprises, it is necessary to select the software with the most packaging imposition characteristics as the imposition tool, so as to improve The efficiency of the overall imposition process;

Founder's sharp packaging product solution: According to different users' operating habits, Founder's sharp packaging imposition module sets three imposition methods: interactive imposition, CAD imposition, and box imposition. Users can combine the actual conditions of their own factories. Select the appropriate imposition method for the situation and its process, and also select the appropriate imposition method according to the characteristics of different operations. The automatic mask and interactive mask adjustment function can quickly adjust the up-down relationship and mask between each box type, which is very easy to use. According to the characteristics of the insertion and insertion of the packaging box, the Founder sharp packaging imposition module is specially equipped with an anchor line adjustment tool to facilitate real-time adjustment of the imposition result and further reduce the possibility of wasting printed materials.

The advantages of Founder's sharp packaging product solution: Founder's sharp packaging product imposition module is specially designed for prepress personnel of packaging, and the functions it contains can be easily applied to various situations encountered in the packaging imposition process; because the module is based on Adobe Illustrator Environment, pre-press personnel can directly perform imposition work in a familiar environment, and the operating habits will not be changed; in addition, the three imposition methods, mask adjustment functions and box numbering functions of the Founder Sharp Packaging Imposition Module can help the user to complete the whole Imposition work processing; for users who need copying, the sharp copy professional copying function can save the user to calculate the copying position, and complete the copying processing accurately and quickly. After the user performs the copying, he can directly attach the back file. [next]

Difficult point 4-diverse printing marks

Difficult description: During the pre-press production process of packaging, pre-press personnel often add various printing marks to control the printing quality. Due to the high quality of printing required for packaging operations, there are also many types of printing marks added, such as pre-press personnel You need to add all spot color names, spot color percentage values, file names, and other information in the job to the job. In addition, each packaging and printing company has its own unique printing marks.

Difficulties analysis: There are many types of printing marks and more details required. Once an error occurs, it will have serious consequences for the printing work. For example, the input of a spot color name will cause a serious accident of printing a spot color during printing, which will not only cause The increase in printing costs will also bring down the reputation of users; as such problems and errors cannot be completely eliminated during personnel operations, professional tools are very needed to assist personnel operations.

Founder's sharp packaging product solution: The intelligent marking module in Founder's sharp packaging contains various types of marks often used in printing. These marks are automatically matched according to the ink used in the job to ensure that the printed marks are in order with the ink in the current job Consistent. Users can use the "custom mark" function to import unique marks in their production process into the job;

The advantages of Founder's sharp packaging product solution: the intelligent marking module can help users quickly and correctly complete the addition of printed marks, ensure the matching of printed marks and inks used in documents, and the template function of intelligent marks can greatly reduce the time for operators to repeat work , So that the marking file completed by the operator can be reused in various operations.

In addition, packaging pre-press processing also requires multiple pre-press processing links such as ink management, image channel replacement, and special text processing. The following figure is the entire pre-press process for users to use Founder Sharp packaging product processing operations. In this process, The nine modules of Founder's sharp packaging products help users to complete the prepress processing quickly and with high quality from all aspects of prepress processing of packaging.

Founder sharp packaging pre-processing process

In general, in order to strengthen production capacity and adapt to new changes, the packaging and printing industry needs to gradually adjust to a small variety of production forms according to customer requirements and provide a small variety of customized services; it must overcome the small production efficiency is not as good as mass production and production costs Difficulties are high. Packaging pre-press processing is an important work link for packaging printing and plate-making enterprises. We must choose professional automated pre-press processing products related to the development trend of "short order" and shift pre-press processing from labor-intensive The technology-intensive job type really releases the prepress personnel from the heavy and repetitive labor, and integrates with the international leading prepress technology.
