What are the main things to study in the Packaging Technology and Design major?

Ning Yaner Level 3 2011-06-29 I am majoring in this major and will graduate soon. It is divided into two directions, technology and design. Start learning basic courses in freshman year, introduction to packaging, printing knowledge. Packaging includes logistics, commodity packaging knowledge, and mechanical technologies closely related to packaging production, such as die-cutting machines, hot stamping, book binding, box production, etc., which are of course more important. The most important thing is to learn the box structure, which is very important to master after choosing the design direction after dividing the direction; printing includes printing technology, the learning of machinery and printing technology of the four major printing methods, because after all, I am not a printing major, so, printing Technical learning is not as proficient as printing majors, but it is still very good. After my sophomore year, I may be divided into majors, but the study of technology and design will be a little different. I happened to have no majors that year, so I studied them all. There are many courses, but I feel very lucky, because technology and design are indispensable. Design work requires a lot of packaging and printing production knowledge. If you get a job in the future, you can choose pre-press design or box type and other packaging design as the design direction, including packaging structure design, decoration design (that is, graphic design), shape design, as well as pre-press plate making design, die design, and many more. Color is related to the study of printing colors; the work after the technical direction is mainly in packaging and printing production, and more in the mechanical aspect, which is technical work. They are all very good. At least I like this major very much. The field of packaging and printing now has great development prospects. Of course, you have to make continuous efforts and be prepared to endure hardships. This is the case in every industry. No matter which direction you choose in the future, don’t give up learning and understanding in the other direction. Design and technology are not separated, and you will be very impressed after working. Come on! If you still have any doubts, please feel free to ask questions. Follow-up question: Doesn’t packaging refer to packaging items? Why is printing involved? I don’t quite understand. Follow-up question: Regarding design, what should I do if I don’t have painting skills? Answer: Does the packaging require materials, such as plastic, paper, metal boxes, etc.? Does the packaging of a product have graphics, logos, instructions, etc. How do these graphics and texts come into being? They are printed. , various manufacturers print in different ways for various materials. You only have to design the graphics and text decoration, print it, and then package it. The graphic design must be based on the actual printing. For example, some colors can be seen on the computer. However, it takes a long time to adjust the ink for printing and it is even impossible to adjust the color exactly as you want. Then you have to adjust the design color according to the actual situation. Also, if you design a packaging box, in addition to the graphic decoration on the design, you may also be asked to design the box shape based on the contents inside. You must also consider the weight, whether it is fragile and easy to Wet and so on, select materials, and then design a structural shape that requires novelty and convenience or the most economical materials or other requirements. Of course, these must be designed according to customer requirements or other actual conditions. This is the design aspect. We need to accurately print the designed graphics on the packaging materials, and then there are many processes such as die-cutting, hot stamping, embossing, folding and forming to see the three-dimensional shape of the packaging box or the completion of the plastic packaging. And your understanding of packaging is very narrow. It is a profession that includes design, printing, special processes, etc. So for example, if we go to the supermarket to buy a box of Yili milk, we actually have to go through a very complicated process to complete the packaging. When you work in the future, you will definitely not be able to do all the processes. You will only be responsible for one aspect, such as product packaging design, product quality inspection, or starting up the packaging machinery in the production workshop, etc. Supplement: It doesn’t matter at all. Design does not require you to put pen to paper and draw it yourself. It requires the use of design software, using some vector or bitmap elements, and completing the design through color matching.

Although there may be art classes in one semester, the teacher will start with the most basic art elements. Don’t worry, this will have no impact on future design work. Additional: Are you going to apply for a school in Hefei? Follow-up: Will there be any Are you taking painting classes? Answer: When I was in college, there was an art class for one semester, and both sketching and watercolor were taught. However, because our class was quite special, there was no specific direction, and the curriculum was tight, so I only took it for one semester. I don’t know about other classes. How long have you been studying in the direction? Question: I don’t want to report to Hefei. Answer: Well, I wish you all the best! Follow-up question: Yes, is there any associate degree to bachelor's degree program in this major? Answer: Then you have to check if your school has a professional associate degree to bachelor's degree program. I'm not very clear about other channels for associate degree to bachelor's degree. You can ask the leaders or teachers of the school. They should Questions that will have answers: Thank you very much for answering them for me! Thank you! Answer: You’re welcome
