Step 1: Preparing the Design
The process begins in CorelDRAW, where the box design is opened. First, unnecessary elements are removed from the design, focusing solely on the parts relevant to the cardboard. For this project, the transparent plastic layer is set aside temporarily to work exclusively on the cardboard.
Step 2: Setting Up the Cardboard
Once the cardboard design is ready, dimensions are verified, and blade settings for creasing and cutting are configured on the Flatbed Vinyl Cutter. Adjusting the cut and crease forces is essential to ensure precision without damaging the material.
Step 3: Cutting the Transparent Plastic
With the cardboard cut, attention turns to the transparent plastic. In CorelDRAW, a square is created to match the size of the window section of the box. The same careful setup process applies here, ensuring the blade force is optimized for the 200-micron plastic.
Step 4: Assembling the Box
After cutting both materials, assembly begins:
- Attach the Transparent Window: Double-sided tape is applied to the edges of the cardboard’s window section. The transparent plastic is then carefully adhered, forming the clear box window.
- Build the Box Structure: The cardboard is folded along the creases and secured to create the box shape.
Step 5: Final Touch
With the box assembled, the result is a professional and visually appealing packaging solution. To add a finishing touch, a gift is placed inside, showcasing how well the design works for display or presentation purposes.
