digital In the era of printing , we often encounter the printing needs of “one print, one differentâ€. For prepress staff, creating similar projects frequently is very labor intensive and error-prone. In order to solve this problem, InDesign software has added the "data merge" function from the CS2 version. With this function, some software-generated data files can be merged with the InDesign document to automate the layout process, and the badges and documents can be designed and manufactured. , business cards, etc. have obvious advantages. This article will use InDesign CS3 to make a 32-open four-pronged chest card as an example, detailing the use of this function, I believe it will bring some help to the peers who have the demand for personalized batch printing documents.
Data source acquisition
Use Excel to create the data source table "Science Association Data Sheet.xls" as shown in Figure 1, and save it as the .unicode text "Science Association Data Sheet.txt". Here are five variables: "Name", "Title", "Department", "Phone" and "@Photo", which will be replaced by the corresponding variable values ​​during subsequent production.
It is worth noting that in the "@Photo" column of the "Science and Technology Information Sheet.txt", it should be the storage path of the photo and the file name of the photo. You can also just write the file name of the photo, but the photo should be guaranteed. The storage file is placed in the same directory as the InDesign file. In addition, it should be noted that the photo should be processed in advance to the size of the picture required for the badge, which is tentatively set to a width of 30 mm and a height of 40 mm.
Layout design
Open InDesign CS3, create a layout with a width of 72mm and a height of 100mm as shown in Figure 2. Create a Photo Frame with a width of 30mm and a height of 40mm in the middle of the middle, and place "name" and "position" below. "Department" "Phone".
Open the menu "Window" → "Automatic" → "Data Merge", click the drop-down triangle in the upper right corner of the "Data Merge" panel, click "Select Data Source", and select the "Science and Technology Data Sheet.txt" file, click " Open", import data. The content shown in Figure 3 will appear in the Data Merge panel.
Place the cursor on the blank part corresponding to the “Name†column on the right side of Figure 2, and click the corresponding “Name†in the “Data Merge†panel. The corresponding variable will appear on the right side of “Name†in Figure 2. The same operation application In the "job", "department" and "telephone" items. Then select the photo box in Figure 2, click the corresponding "photo" in the "Data Merge" panel, the corresponding variable will appear in the photo frame. At this point, the layout work is completed.
Flattening large version
Since the actual page size is large, we hope to place multiple badges on the same page, so here we have also worked on the big version.
Open “File†→ “Page Setup†and set the page size to 144mm wide and 200mm high.
Select the page and press Ctrl+G to group the graphic elements of the single badge. Then place the grouped object in the upper left corner of the page, that is, the coordinates are (0,0).
Select a single badge, open "Object" → "Transform" → "Move", set the "Location" to a horizontal value of 72mm, a vertical value of 0mm, and click "Copy". Select the page, open "Object" → "Transform" → "Move", set the "Location" to a horizontal value of 0mm, a vertical value of 100mm, click "Copy" to complete the large version.
A wooden box is a container made of wood for storage or as a shipping container.
Construction may include several types of wood; lumber (timber), plywood, engineered woods, etc. For some purposes, decorative woods are used.
Boxes and crates are not the same. If the sheathing of the container (plywood, lumber, etc.) can be removed, and a framed structure will remain standing, the container would likely be termed a crate. If removal of the sheathing resulted in there being no way of fastening the lumber around the edges of the container, the container would likely be termed a wooden box.
The strength of a wooden box is rated based on the weight it can carry before the cap (top, ends, and sides) is installed. "Skids" or thick bottom runners, are sometimes specified to allow forklift trucks access for lifting.
Performance is strongly influenced by the specific design, type of wood, type of fasteners (nails, etc.), workmanship, etc.
Some boxes have handles, hand holes, or hand holds.
