Production of pentagonal packaging box

Year-old friend said: The following is a friend about his process of making boxes. Friends who are engaged in production know that to make such a weird box requires two conditions: 1. Skilled production skills; 2. Handy software.

He has both conditions. Years of production experience coupled with InDesign's powerful graphics processing capabilities, this program was easily completed. Friends who are interested may wish to try according to cats and tigers.

Due to a temporary device problem, he used it on the PC's InDesign CS. It will be more convenient if it is on Mac.

I hope that all the heroes will dedicate their craft and secrets (the ancestral secrets are better) to promote the improvement of the overall level of graphic production.

This is a mosquito coil box made according to customer requirements. The box contains mosquito coils, so I only know that the inner diameter of the box is 140mm in advance, but the box is a pentagonal shaped box. Let's see how I made this box. of:

1. Draw a circle with a diameter of 140mm first;

2. Draw another straight line and use the align function to align the line with the circle in the middle and downwards;

3. Draw another concentric circle to make it larger than the circle and line already drawn. I copied one of the previously drawn circles in-situ and then increased its size;

4. Select the line and the big circle, double-click the rotation tool, fill in 72 and select copy, and then copy five lines that are tangent to the small circle;

5. Then use the pen tool to connect the two pairs of the five lines into two intersecting trapezoids;

6. Use Pathfinder to get the intersection of two trapezoids;

7. Connect the two ends of the remaining line with a pen tool to make it larger than the figure just generated;

8. Use the intersection again to get a pentagon tangent to the circle;

9. In order to make this pentagon look positive, I draw another figure larger than this pentagon, and intersect this pentagon again, so as to get a pentagon that is flat and stable;

10. Next step: make the thickness of the box, this is 76mm. In order to get the accurate side length, I copied the pentagon in place and pulled out the extra points to delete;

11. Then make a copy of this side length at a distance of 76mm, and connect these two lines with a pen to form a quadrilateral;

12. Due to bleeding, I extended the quadrangle by 6mm. In this way, the five sides will overlap each other in the future. In order to remove the excess, I drew a vertical line centered on the concentric circle, and then centered Rotate the center of the circle by 36 degrees and make a copy; rotate the vertical line by -36 degrees, and then use the pen tool to connect the two lines to surround the part that needs to be retained. Bleeding side;

13. Duplicate four graphics of this side and fill it with a pattern for future use;

14. When the horizontally placed sides are completed, you can complete each side one by one by using the first side as the starting point, adding the outermost great circle to rotate by an integer multiple of 72.

This particular box does just that, does it mean something?
