In the past two decades, China has rapidly emerged as a major exporter. The small commodities packaged with PVC skin packaging film (skin packaging film) have been continuously transported to every corner of the world, which is a powerful testament to the strong Chinese manufacturing economy. For small commodity manufacturers, it is necessary to understand the advantages and disadvantages of PVC skin packaging film (skin packaging film). Because understanding the characteristics of this packaging film material fully, giving full play to its advantages, avoiding its shortcomings, and achieving the best skin packaging effect.
The chemical name of PVC is polyvinyl chloride, and the film products made from it are divided into hard sheets and soft films. The main material used for skin packaging film is rigid PVC sheet.
Rigid PVC film has extremely high transparency, which is a great advantage for skin packaging. Because skin packaging is essentially a visual display packaging for store shelves, and the transparency of packaging film is required to be very high. The high-gloss and high-transparent packaging film gives the packaged product a better visual effect.
Another advantage of PVC skin packaging film is low cost. Among all skin packaging films, it is the one with the lowest price. If you are pursuing low-cost packaging needs, you can consider it.
Due to its inherent physical characteristics, PVC skin packaging film has poor tensile properties. Skin packaging is to heat and soften the film, and under the action of vacuum suction, the film will tightly form a shape according to the product shape and adhere to the cardboard below the product. The main standard thicknesses of PVC skin packaging film are 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15, 0.20MM, etc. The tensile properties of PVC are slightly poor, so the packaging effect is still ideal for products with low packaging height and relatively standardized shapes. For example, small hardware products, hardware tools, small car parts, and other small items with a height of less than 2CM can be packaged with a thickness of 0.06-0.08MM. However, if the product is relatively tall and the shape is irregular, the PVC skin packaging film can easily be sucked and broken under strong vacuum suction, resulting in the PVC film around the product not being able to be sucked into position well (the popular saying is that the film is tense). This leads to poor packaging effect.
Another disadvantage of PVC skin packaging film is that it is easy to become brittle at low temperatures (below 5 degrees). The possible consequence of this defect is that the packaging film cracks, the packaged product scatters, and the effect of tight and protective packaging of the skin bundle is lost. Therefore, it is recommended that if the product is exported to low-temperature areas or countries, this kind of skin packaging film should not be used, unless the cost of the packaging film is the first consideration.
Another disadvantage of PVC film is its non-environmentally friendly nature. It cannot be used to directly package food. Some countries will prohibit the use of PVC packaging. It depends on the situation. Customers in some regions do not have clear environmental protection requirements, and this film can be used.
