A party, wine, wine bottles, wine boxes can be the protagonist of which, so how are these outer packaging of wine bottles, wine boxes produced? Here we will talk about the wine box material and processing process.   

Wine box materials and processing technology 

  • The choice of packaging materials 

 In the choice of packaging materials, paper containers (paper boxes, paper tubes) still dominate, the proportion of wood, plastic, metal materials than in the past increased, bamboo, willow, grass and other natural materials are still less used. Paper containers are in the paper box and occupy absolute advantage.

Depending on the grade of the wine, there are differences in the choice of materials. 

  • Low-grade wine packaging paper box 

Using 350g or more white paperboard printing lamination (plastic film), die-cutting molding. Suitable for its low-grade wine batch of large low-cost requirements. The slightly higher-grade ones are made of 300g white paperboard laminated into paper cards and then printed, laminated and die-cut.

  • Mid-range wine box  

Generally use aluminum foil cardboard (gold card, silver card, copper card, laser, etc.), according to the need to produce different light patterns on the backing, most of the screen printing, not only the color is sharp and heavy, but can do frosting, wrinkle glaze, pearl powder, matte, glossy and other process effects. After spot-color printing, the surface can also be printed with a variety of backing, hot laser, aluminum, pressure embossing, UV varnish, etc. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to do the level of change of graphics. Therefore, in order to achieve the design effect, screen printing and offset printing, or combined with UV printing. After the aluminum foil cardboard printing is perfected, it is die-cut into cardboard with the printed brand, graphics and text on the whiteboard paper.

  • High-grade gift wine boxes 

The processing and production process of high-end gift wine boxes is relatively complex, with different packaging using different processes.

If aluminum foil cardboard printing is used, the process is similar to that of mid-range packaging, with the difference that the printing surface is manually laminated to the cardboard.

Most of the high-end gift packaging has a decorative inner liner. Liner goods play a role in beautification and buffer protection. The inner liner is mostly made of foam or PVC blister electrostatic flocking, corrugated paper card, pulp mold, etc.

The surface is mostly made of silk, chemical fiber fabrics, cotton and linen, and fur. The inner structure with a corrugated paper card with pulp mode is in the direction of future development.
