In this article, we'll explore the different types of folding plastic boxes, their manufacturing processes, their advantages and disadvantages, and introduce Bailipack, a manufacturer specializing in high-quality plastic and paper packaging solutions.

Types of Folding Plastic Boxes

Transparent Boxes

- Transparent boxes are typically made of transparent plastic material, offering a clear, distinct appearance that facilitates product display.

- They provide a visually appealing appearance that attracts consumers' attention.

- They can be used to package a variety of goods, especially those that require visual appeal.

PET Boxes

- PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging offers excellent clarity and abrasion resistance.

- They are rigid and resist deformation, making them suitable for packaging that requires protecting the product's appearance.

- PET material is easily recyclable and environmentally friendly.

PVC Boxes

- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) packaging offers excellent weather resistance and formability, and is cost-effective to produce. They are commonly used for product packaging across various industries.

- They offer excellent pressure resistance and transparency, effectively protecting products from external damage.

- PVC packaging boxes are relatively inexpensive and a cost-effective packaging option.

PP Boxes

- PP (polypropylene) packaging boxes offer excellent heat resistance and tensile strength, making them resistant to cracking. They also have a frosted finish.

- Suitable for packaging products requiring durability and stability.

What is the manufacturing process for folding plastic boxes?

The manufacturing process for folding plastic boxes typically includes the following steps:

1. Material Preparation: Selecting the appropriate plastic material, such as PET, PVC, or PP.

2. Design and Layout: Designing the box's structure and printed content.

3. Mold Making: Creating the mold based on the design.

4. Printing: Printing the design onto the plastic sheet.

5. Molding and Assembly: The printed plastic sheet is formed into the box shape through thermoforming or folding.
