Pre-press Design Considerations For Cosmetic Tube Packaging

There are many noteworthy details in the pre-press design process of cosmetic tube packaging. Here we will focus on discussing the precautions for small text and line design.

(1) Small text and lines should be designed into a single package to avoid inaccurate multi-color overprinting. The width of thin lines should not be less than 0.1mm, otherwise it will be easy to be lost or unclear in printing. The net height of Chinese fonts is not less than 1.8mm, and the net height of English fonts is not less than 1.5mm.

(2) Special attention should be paid to the design of anti-white text. If the text is small, especially when the strokes are thin, monochrome should be used. Attention should also be paid to the selection of fonts. Round-headed, bold, and isoline fonts are the best choices, while fonts with too big differences in strokes, such as Song-style and Old Song-style (horizontal, thin, vertical, and thick), should be used with caution. When using this type of font, it should be noted that the net height of Chinese fonts is not less than 2.5mm, and the net height of English fonts is not less than 2mm.

Reason:

(1) The viscosity of the ink printed later is too high compared with the ink printed first.

(2) The ink that is printed first is slow to fix and has a large amount of ink.

(3) The color intensity balance of the four-color ink is not appropriate.

Approach:

(1) Use high-viscosity ink to print first, and low-viscosity ink to print later. The ideal viscosity requirement should be gradually reduced in the order of overprinting colors.

(2) It is printed with fast-fixing ink, and the density is high and the printing is thinner. The pattern area is small and printed first to facilitate later overprinting.

(3) The color intensity of any set of wet multi-color overprinting inks is balanced, and the same amount of ink can be used for overprinting.
