So in the packaging industry, what are the common inner support?
Cardboard or corrugated paper inner support
Most of our common packaging boxes are made of paper, and the use of paper support can achieve a unified style.
The cost of cardboard and corrugated paper is low, the materials are environmentally friendly, and the processing is convenient, so they are very popular among merchants. At the same time, the paper inner support is easy to shape and has good cushioning performance, which can protect and support the entire item during transportation. Paper inner supports are often used in electronics packaging.
EVA inner support
EVA is a polyethylene foam product with good elasticity, flexibility, punch resistance and sealing. The EVA support has a smooth appearance, uniform and fine cells, soft and thick feel, and has good cushioning and shockproof performance.
The EVA inner support can be designed with grooves or flocked on the surface. The groove design can play a role in fixing and displaying goods, and the flocking design can make the surface of the support more soft and shiny. EVA inner support is often used in expensive and fragile product packaging.
Sponge inner support
The sponge inner support is suitable for the packaging of high-end products and can play the role of cushioning and shock absorption. At the same time, the sponge inner support can also be divided into environmentally friendly sponge inner support, anti-static sponge inner support and fireproof sponge inner support. Among them, the anti-static sponge inner support can protect electronic products and chips from static electricity. Sponge is low in cost and easy to process, and it is also one of the inner support materials that are very popular among merchants.
Plastic inner support
I believe that everyone is familiar with plastic inner support. Plastic inner support are often used in food packaging, such as moon cake gift packaging. Although the plastic inner support is not soft or environmentally friendly, it is indeed one of the most used inner support materials.
The plastic inner support has good stability, anti-extrusion, not easy to deform and low cost. When in use, it is often matched with silk cloth, which has a very good gloss and can increase the texture of the entire gift box.
Paper plastic inner support
The paper-plastic inner tray is lightweight, with high compressive and shock-absorbing strength. It is integrally formed for easy storage and stacking, and the proportion of storage capacity is low. Moreover, the manufacturing process has less damage to the environment, less pressure on storage and inventory, and the weight of raw materials is light, environmentally friendly, and it can print patterns, which is also a good choice.
Although the inner support of the gift box can effectively protect the safety of the product, there are many things to pay attention to when customizing the inner support:
1. The quantity of products that need to be packed in the gift box
2. The size of each product
3. Various factors that may cause gift damage during transportation
4. Your brand value
Only after considering the above points, can we choose the support material of the gift box and design the structure of the support in a more targeted manner.
There are many types of supports, and different support materials are generally selected according to the specific requirements of the product and the brand. For some fragile gifts, such as: glass crafts, ceramic tea sets, skin care products and other fragile items, many brands will choose soft and strong sponge or EVA support. However, for high-end products such as electronic products and health care products, the stability and pressure resistance of the inner support mainly need to be considered. For such products, the inner support made of blister material is usually chosen, but now with the increasing popularity of environmentally friendly packaging, In order to demonstrate the brand’s environmental protection concept, many brands also use paper-plastic supports that are similar in function to blister supports.
Secondly, if a variety of products need to be packaged in a gift box, the structure of the inner support can also be designed and arranged according to the quantity and size of the products, and displayed in front of the user in the most beautiful way. At the same time, the gifts are placed reasonably The way of placing can also save space and the material cost of the packaging box.
The inner support of the gift box can play a super protective role in product transportation. Of course, there are many things to consider when choosing the support material of the product box and designing its structure. By understanding the basic knowledge of the inner support of the gift box can be more targeted.
