DÉVELOPPÉ TYPE - PACK OUVERT - VUE GLOBALE - SEGMENT ROUGE

AUTRE DÉVELOPPÉ - PACK OUVERT - SEGMENT BLEU


Hi all, this term is taken from a "charte graphique" (graphics style guide etc) and refers to images of packaging for a toy. It appears to refer to the full mock-up/design of the packaging, but I can't be sure. Any ideas what this might be translated as in the context of packaging/graphic design?

Many thanks,
David

Explanation:
I'm pretty sure what this is, but less sure if this is the correct term.

It refers to the graphics for the packaging (box etc.) as if it were flattened out — i.e. the 2D sheet of card that will be printed, before it is cut out and folded up to make a 3D box.

I have known and seen 'development' in engineering drawings etc., I also believe I have heard 'net', but I can't remember the exact definitions / differences.

I suspect the same terms are probably used in this field too, but it's not easy to research on the 'Net :-(

Hopefully this may give you some avenues for further research so you can confirm (or not).

Thanks Tony. It appears that "packaging net" is the most appropriate that I've found. Your response did indeed give me some more avenues.

  -> Merci, Daryo ! Those are certainly what it means — but I'm not convinced either is any more correct as the actual technical term.

"Comicscope plane view (before folding) from the patent

The patent statement starts off describing the construction of the box from a single flat blank of cardboard or sheet metal. Actually I believe the use of sheet metal would be unrealistic as the metal would become too hot from the lamp. The patent says the box would be easily constructed, “can be readily assembled by children”. However it appears the Comicscope was always sold assembled and never flat."
