The [http://www.dtonline.org/apps/menu/app?3&areas%2F2%2F1%2Fo%2F&0 '''Packaging Designer'''] application allows a wide range of nets to be modified including not only cartons and packaging but also other card based products - e.g. Pocket File, Desk Tidy, Optical Toys.
Any or all dimensions can be modified in the secure knowledge that the net will still fit together. The volume of the completed package, and the surface area of material required are calculated.
The modified designs can be saved as industry standard DXF files, which can be loaded into many popular drawing applications.

History of Packaging

Before about 1850, packaging was limited to barrels, wooden boxes and jute sacks. Only after this date was paper made cheaply enough and paper bags began to appear.


Other packaging materials such as tin, aluminium and various plastics developed alongside paper and board. Glass was one of the earliest packaging materials.


The purpose of packaging is primarily to protect or preserve its contents and secondly to improve presentation. Protection is needed against handling and during transportation. The presentation to the customer provides necessary information and improves sales by making the product more visually appealing.
