Color box and color box have changed from product protection to product promotion in the concept of modern packaging. Consumers judge the quality of products by the quality of color boxes and color boxes. Therefore, whether the color box and color box design can quickly attract consumers' attention in many color packages has become the key to the success or failure of color box and color box design. It can be seen that the prepress design and plate-making technology of color box and color box, as the key technology of prepress technology, is invalid and doubtful, and its technical ability and level determine the market competitiveness of an enterprise. Design and plate making are two completely different but closely related processes or jobs, which can also be said to be technology. Here, combined with some actual situations of our company, the pre-press design technology of color boxes and color boxes is expounded. Layout design technology is generally divided into original design and imitation design. Generally speaking, layout design needs the following equipment: a high-performance computer, a matching printer, a scanner, some color separators and corresponding professional design software.

Original layout design, also called creative design, is a professional design company that designs the layout of outer packaging cartons according to the product performance and characteristics of the demanding enterprises. This kind of layout design requires the technical level, professional skills and professional knowledge of designers. This kind of design is generally done by professional design companies, and few enterprises are engaged in this kind of design, but large carton packaging enterprises also have such professional designers to carry out creative design. The key of color box and color box layout design is color separation and printing dot control. The first is graphic design and layout design. These two designs must highlight the characteristics of packaging products, so that consumers are deeply attracted after seeing the outer packaging, which is also a design method called "receiving the heart" embodied in packaging design.
