Paper Puzzle

Paper puzzles

There are many types of paper puzzles, such as blue-core paper, gray-heart paper, and Chinese paper.

The advantages and disadvantages of various paper puzzles

1. Grey card material
Advantages: less layers, high occlusion (can be picked up by hand after spelling), high cost performance (good quality and low price)
Disadvantages: long edge fibers, resulting in high occlusion, low aesthetics (gray color), impurities, and more paper scraps
2. White card material
Advantages: high hardness, not easy to deform, high appearance, beautiful and clean, suitable for puzzles of low and young products, less paper scraps
Disadvantages: easy to delaminate, easy to spread, low occlusal degree, may contain fluorescent agent components
3. Blue core paper material
Advantages: high bite (can be picked up by hand after spelling), less confetti, one piece is formed
Disadvantages: The price is more expensive than the white card and gray card. The blue core material is mainly imported at present, and there are many fakes in the market.

Why do more paper puzzles choose blue core paper?

1. Anti-light transmission, anti-perspective
Adding a paper core sandwich to the puzzle can effectively prevent sunlight projection.
2. Good flexibility and bending resistance
During the paper puzzle process, holding the pieces may cause the pieces to bend or drop powder. If blue core paper is added to the pieces, the pieces will be bent in time, and there will be no obvious creases. The original shape of the pieces can be pieced together, and the pieces will be more durable.
3. Blue core paper has more texture
Compared with the grey card paper and white card paper, the pieces made of blue core paper are more stretched, more textured, and feel better.

Paper puzzle design process

1. Find design reference materials
2. Draw the approximate proportions of the 3D views of the model and the details that need to be made.
3. According to the 3D views, construct a three-dimensional model.
4. Spread all the faces of the model into a plane.
5. Print the typesetting and test whether it can be spelled together

Paper puzzle making process

1. Stamping die. After the cutting pattern of each piece is designed in the computer, a bottom is made on the bottom plate, and then a stamping die is installed on the master plate.
2. Install the mold. To make a metal die is to directly sharpen the two ends and make a segmented metal die, and knock it in.
3. Segmental bending. The sharp metal strips at both ends of the die are the graceful curves that the technicians manually use the small bending machine slowly made.
4. The rebound puzzle. After this section of punching dies are all nested into the board, the place where there are puzzle pieces should be filled with a layer of elastic latex, and the height is generally flush with the metal die. Pieces of the puzzle were cut out for the time to die, and the elastic latex popped the puzzle out of the mold instead of letting it sink directly into it.
5. Divide the puzzle. The paper puzzle board is transported to the machine, waiting to be die-cut.
6. Puzzle verification. There is also a very important paper puzzle verification link before packaging. The inspection machine uses a computer to confirm whether there is any cutting or missing, or it is lost in the transportation process of the assembly line.
7. Break up for packaging. Finally, in order not to take up space when transporting, it is necessary to shake the puzzle pieces that are laid out flatly for filling.
