Structure design of various common packaging cartons with curved or arched surface was surveyed. The transformation methods of curved or arched structures based on classic cuboid carton were discussed. The necessary parameters for calculation of plan spreading dimension from modeling design dimension were provided. Dimension calculation equation applicable for the transformation modes was obtained. The purpose was to provide reference for development of CAD technology in designing cartons with curved or arched surface.
