Since we should treat canned fruits and juice drinks as industries, we naturally have to consider packaging issues. Therefore, Marin, a half-class "big designer", naturally has to design the packaging appearance. We cannot say that the design is, but rather plagiarize, copy the designs of later generations.
However, Marin remembers that many of the cans in later generations were packed in aluminum boxes and sealed with tinplate. Marin could not imitate or plagiarize this kind of thing, mainly because he did not have aluminum cans. In the 21st century, in order to promote sales, many merchants specially designed the can bottles into the style of water cups in order to promote sales. In this way, because after eating canned food, the cans can be used as water cups, making cans more popular. Therefore, this idea is worth learning from.
Therefore, Marin drew the water cup-style can bottle style that was very popular in later generations. Then, a simple wooden hoop cover was added to the bottle, and a "L" wooden handle was extended out for the user to hold it. In this way, the buyer can use the can bottle as a water cup after eating the can. The existence of the wooden handle allows the user to avoid being scalded by the boiling water in the cup.
In fact, the bottle body is still very "designed", just copy the appearance of later generations. However, the design of the bottle mouth part is difficult to destroy Marin.
The problem was mainly on the lid. In this era, European bottles were mainly popular with wood plugs, rather than the threaded meshing and twisting caps that were popular in later generations.
Marin wanted to design the threaded engagement and twisting cover for later generations, but after talking to the craftsmen, he decisively gave up this idea. Why? It’s not that the craftsmen cannot create threaded engagement and twisting covers, but that the manufacturing is too difficult.
In this era, the manufacturing of Yin and Yang threads for glass bottles and bottle caps was not machines, but purely hand-made. Only craftsmen with high craftsmanship can create Yin and Yang threads with high degree of compatibility, so that the air-retaining bottle caps meet the standards. If a worker comes to hand-carrying Yin and Yang threads, it is likely that the requirement of air-retaining is not met. In this way, a bottle of can will be scrapped.
If you ask a master to create Yin-Yang threads manually, the output will be very low and the cost will be high. In this way, it will be very unprofitable.
Marin had no choice but to give up the design of thread engagement and twisting caps. In fact, there was no professional machine to make it these days. He was not an industrialist in his previous life, and he didn't know how to make the threads of bottles and caps, so he could only give up regretfully.
Then, the rest can only be designed with bottle plugs...
Cork bottle plugs and sealing wax, such packaging methods are very simple, and any temporary worker with average technology can be competent for air-retaining packaging. But the biggest problem is that cork is not easy to deal with!
The cork trees in Portugal need to grow for 25 years before they can be harvested, and the current output is limited. Marin's plan is to make canned fruits into national food, which is very large, and the yield in Portugal is really not enough.
Therefore, Marin could only think of using natural rubber to replace corks. Natural rubber bottle plugs. Marin first thought of the rubber bottle plug on the saline bottle when she was a child when she was hanging water.
That is the memory of a generation. Before Marin traveled through time, normal saline water had been used in plastic bottles or even plastic bags. But in the 1990s, hospitals used glass bottles with rubber bottle stoppers.
In addition to being used when hanging water, when Malin was a child, his hands were cold in winter and he also used this type of saline bottle as a hot water bag. The saline bottle in the hospital was discarded after using it. At that time, many people could bring the saline bottle that had been hung before hanging water back for use after hanging water.
The normal saline bottle with the rubber bottle plug on the plug has a very good sealing effect. Even if the hole was poked before, the hole would be closed after the needle was pulled out, so that the bottle plug would not leak.
Therefore, the saline bottle was used as a hot water bag for hand warmers at that time. It could even be used to warm your feet when you sleep in winter.
The Yangtze River Basin is a very embarrassing place. It is not as cold as the north in winter, so it is generally not equipped with heating, and there is no fire kang in the countryside. However, when the temperature is below zero in winter, it is also very cold and wet. Therefore, in the 1990s, when I went to bed at night, Malin often put a salt water bottle filled with hot water into the bed that I could warm it up before falling asleep. It was not until the 21st century that the appearance of rubber hot water bags made of rubber was eliminated.
With such an experience, Marin has a deep memory of the rubber bottle plugs of a normal saline bottle. So, he "designed" the drawings of a normal saline bottle without thinking... That was the thing that grew up with him...
But after "designing" the saline bottle, Marin realized a problem - the bottle mouth of the saline bottle is too small...
The bottle mouth is too small to fill with pineapple slices. Even if it is filled, it is difficult to take it out and eat it. What? You said that you cut the pineapple and put it in? It’s not that it can, but you lose the original intention of canned fruits - they are here to eat fruits, not fruit pomaces...
Therefore, the bottle canned fruit bottle must not be designed with the bottle mouth of a normal saline bottle. However, fruit juice can be completely packaged in this bottle...
So, Marin made a big stroke and set the packaging of the fruit juice - using a normal saline bottle...
Then, the scene of the people of Beihai Kingdom drinking juice in the future... Haha, Marin was happy when she remembered...
Of course, he can only enjoy this fun by himself. Others have never seen a saline bottle of dripping water, so they can't get any funny points...
...
After the fun, Marin could only continue to "design" the lid of the can. This time it was really designed because there was nothing to refer to.
Marin wanted to continue using the design of a normal saline bottle plug, but the middle bottle plug was only suitable for the mouth of the small bottle. Once the mouth of the bottle was large, the soft rubber was squeezed and easily deformed, resulting in leakage.
"What should I do?" Marin was a little confused.
So he ran to the canning factory to look for inspiration...
Beihai Country now also has canned food, for example, there is a canned sauerkraut fish factory in the Beihai. When sealing the steamed sauerkraut fish, workers often choose corks that are larger than the bottle mouth. In this way, after being stuffed into the bottle mouth, they can ensure that their breathing is good enough. Those cork bottles that are not processed with insufficient size are considered defective products. They are either eliminated, concentrated, taken elsewhere, and processed into smaller bottle jars.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In the canning packaging workshop, a water cup of the person in charge of the workshop aroused his strong interest...
The person in charge of this workshop seems to be a little good at taking advantage of the public. For example, the cup he drinks water seems to be a canned bottle. But the difference is that the canned bottle he drinks water seems to be an obsolete...
The glass bottle of the water cup itself has no problem, but the bottle plug seems to be an undersized cork that was eliminated. But the workshop manager Hans is very smart - he bundled a piece of cloth on the undersized cork. Then, the cork can plug the bottle mouth to ensure that his water cup does not leak.
Of course, this can only ensure that there is no leakage, but it cannot guarantee that there is no leakage. After all, the fabric does not have the good air stubbornness of cork.
However, this approach gave Marin a great inspiration...
"The bottle stopper...the cloth wrap...the good idea..." Marin shouted happily.
Of course, he didn't think of wrapping the bottle stopper, but thought of - since he could wrap the bottle stopper, why can't I wrap the bottle stopper with rubber?
He remembered that when he was a child, some water cups were used. Because of poor processing accuracy, in order to avoid leakage, many manufacturers put rubber rings on bottle caps.
Similarly, putting rubber hoods around the timber can also prevent leakage and hold air.
Moreover, he suddenly thought that if a rubber hood was added to the hood, the bottle hood might not need to use expensive and rare cork. He could use ordinary hoods of similar sizes, and then put rubber hoods on the ordinary hood. This would also ensure that the air was kept safe and leak-proof. Moreover, he successfully avoided the weakness of the rubber hood being unable to become larger.
Thinking of this, Marin was extremely excited. With the rubber hood, he didn't have to worry about finding cork in Portugal. The growth cycle of that crappy cork is 25 years. Moreover, after peeling the cork bark, it will take another nine to ten years to peel it again (the cork is made of the bark of the cork tree).
Marin's mind suddenly sounded magically the rhythm of Eason Chan's "Ten Years" - "Ten years later, I'll peel it again, peel your bark..."
"Damn it, it will take ten years to peel it, which is enough for me to plant a lot of rubber trees!"
