Detailed Explanation of the Process and Making of a Tea Box
Tea box is an important carrier for the protection and display of tea, and its production process affects the quality and image of the product. Generally speaking, tea box can be divided into three categories: hard packaging, semi-hard packaging and soft packaging according to different materials and production methods. For semi-hard packaging and flexible packaging, Jiayi has 17 years of design, processing and production experience. It is your trusted partner. The following is a detailed introduction of Jiayi’s common process methods, production process and its advantages and disadvantages of tea box.
Common process methods
Handcraft
Handwork is a traditional production method, which is suitable for a small amount of customized and high-end tea. Boxes made in this way are usually unique, exquisite and personalized, but the production cycle is long and the cost is high.
Mechanization process
The mechanized process can significantly shorten the production cycle and reduce costs with the help of modern machinery and equipment. This method is suitable for the production of medium and low-end tea. The common mechanization processes include gravure printing, screen printing, bronzing and embossing.
Imitation manual craftsmanship
The imitation craftsmanship combines the exquisite characteristics of hand-made with the efficient ability of mechanized production. It not only retains the personalized advantages of handmade packaging boxes, but also can be produced on a large scale, so it is becoming more and more common in modern tea packaging.
Production process
The production process of tea box usually includes the following key steps:
Design
The design stage determines the material, size, modeling, printing method and other important elements of the packaging box. Through art design and computer-aided design, a high-quality packaging box model is produced.
Printing is one of the core links in the production of packaging boxes. The commonly used printing technologies include lithography, gravure printing and screen printing. Choosing the appropriate printing method is related to the visual effect and quality of the packaging box.
Process
The processing stage covers paper cutting, die-cutting, embossing, bronzing, cold ironing, UV coating and other processes, which directly affect the molding and texture of the packaging box.
Take a desired shape
In the molding stage, manual molding or machine molding is selected according to the production needs. Manual molding is suitable for a small number of high-end products, while machine molding is suitable for mass production.
Advantages and disadvantages and application scenarios
Handcraft
- Advantages: unique, exquisite and personalized.
- Disadvantages: long production cycle, high cost, limited scope of application.
- Application scenarios: a small number of customized products such as high-end tea, gift tea, etc.
Mechanization process
- Advantages: High production efficiency and low cost.
- Disadvantages: Lack of personalization and fineness of manual craftsmanship.
- Application scenario: large-scale production and sales of medium and low-end tea.
Imitation manual craftsmanship
- Advantages: Combining the advantages of manual technology and mechanized production, it is both personalized and can be mass-produced.
- Disadvantages: It requires technical and equipment support, and the cost is slightly higher than the pure mechanized process.
- Application scenario: The mainstream choice of modern tea packaging is suitable for the packaging needs of all kinds of tea.
In summary, the process selection of tea box should be comprehensively considered according to product positioning, market demand and production scale to ensure that the packaging box can effectively protect and enhance the brand value and market competitiveness of tea.
