Making a mock-up model of your bag

Seeing a design in a folding plan on your screen is a world away from having the actual bag in your hands.

If you can’t wait until your bags are ready, you can make your own mini mock-up model.

Why is this useful to make a mini model of your bag?

It gives you a first idea of what the colours will look like on paper. A screen works with light, which gives a completely different effect than a printed colour. Read all about it in the blog article: “Colours explained: CMYK vs Pantone”.

In addition, it also helps you to see whether your design is entirely successful. Everything may look perfect in a folding plan, but does it still work in your 3D model? Here are a few things to bear in mind when you turn your folding plan into a mock-up bag:

 

  1. Is there enough room at the top to close your bag?
  2. Are your images clearly displayed? Even if part of the image goes into the side fold?
  3. Is the window well positioned? Does part of the image or text disappear behind the window?
  4. If there is text in the side fold, is it still clearly legible?
  5. Is your packaging generally “balanced”?

How do you make a mock-up model of your bag?

Follow these steps or watch the video:

  1. Print your folding plan
  2. Cut the folding plan out
  3. Fold the vertical lines inwards
  4. Fold the horizontal lines inwards
  5. Cut the small vertical lines of the bottom
  6. Make a side fold
  7. Fold your design to create a 3D bag
  8. Glue the underside and sides

Your mock-up model is already a step towards the real thing. Of course, you still have to wait for your final bag. Only then will you see the full effect of printing on high-quality paper using the latest printing machines and techniques!
