The general plastic box packaging is made of PET, PVC, PP and other materials. The thickness of PVC and PET mostly ranges from 0.1-0.5mm, and the thickness of PP can reach 0.75MM. The specific rules can be customized according to the customer's product display requirements. The following is a description of various materials used in transparent boxes:

PVC

PVC material is a common transparent packaging material, and the price is relatively cheap. The application of PVC in the EU is limited. The color of the PVC packaging box looks yellowish, translucent, and shiny. The transparency is better than that of polyethylene and polypropylene. The hardness of hard products is higher than that of low-density polyethylene, but lower than that of polypropylene. Whitening will appear at the inflection point.

Features of PVC packaging box:

  2. Easy molding, suitable for a wide range of molding equipment
  3. The price is relatively low
  4. It is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, with various types of products

 

PET

PET material is an environmentally friendly material and the best substitute for PVC. The PET clear box contains a protective film, which is not scratchy and more durable. The folding box with thick and soft lines makes the appearance more three-dimensional and highlights the role of the product. PET has good optical properties and weather resistance, transparency, gloss and other aspects of performance. But the heat resistance is relatively poor.

PET transparent packaging box features:
  • Easy processing
  • Degradable
  • High transparency
  • No watermark
  • Stable performance

PP

PP plastic is polypropylene plastic, which is relatively soft and relatively poor in transparency, but has the best heat resistance, and can reach 125 degrees without deformation. PP plastic is non-toxic and has no harm to the human body. Cups made of polypropylene are non-toxic, and the processing temperature (°C) is 180-240 during manufacture. So boiling water won't break it down. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the toxicity of edible utensils.

  2. Easy to shape, just change the mold, you can get different kinds of containers, and easy to form mass production.
  3. It has better corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, impact resistance, and better mechanical strength.
  4. It can be used transparently, and the product style in the package can be seen without opening the package.
  5. Can design various colors and patterns, and design different shapes to improve the grade of products

Acrylic

Acrylic is another popular material for clear boxes because of its strength and transparency.

clear boxes process:

Lamination, stamping, bonding, heat sealing, hemming, flex line, lamination, frosting, twill etc.

Product structure:

Plastic folding boxes can be designed into hundreds of structures according to the shape of the product, including square folding boxes, triangular folding boxes, apple pie folding boxes, hexagonal folding boxes, world boxes and so on.

Printing and Process:

  • Four-color or six-color printing can be carried out according to customer requirements and designs.
  • Four-color printing, silk screen printing 1~2 colors.
  • Hot stamping or hot silver UV varnish matte
  • Surface treatment: complex protective film, can be used for antistatic treatment

Advantages of clear boxes

  1. The contents of the box can be observed from the outside
  2. The packaging is permanently durable, cold-proof, waterproof, high-toughness, and has strong transportation safety performance
  3. It can effectively improve the product packaging grade. increase attractiveness
  4. The plastic box is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and has high transparency. PP, PET, and APET materials are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, except for PVC.
