Protective effects.
1.Corrugated paper
Corrugated is the material of our middle box or outer box. According to the flute type, corrugated paper can be divided into seven categories: A pit, B pit, C pit, D pit, E pit, F pit, and G pit. Among them, A, B, and C pits are generally used for outer packaging, and D and E pits are generally used for outer packaging. Generally used for small and medium-sized packaging.
Corrugated paper has the advantages of being light and strong, with strong load-bearing and pressure resistance, shock-proof, moisture-proof, and low cost. Corrugated paper can be produced into corrugated cardboard, and then made into different styles of cartons according to customer orders.
A. Single-sided corrugated cardboard
It is generally used as a protective lining for product packaging or to make lightweight frames and pads to protect products from vibration or impact during storage, transportation.
B. Three-layer or five-layer corrugated cardboard
It is used to make sales packaging of goods.
C. Seven-layer or eleven-layer corrugated cardboard
It is mainly used to make packaging boxes for mechanical and electrical products, furniture, motorcycles, large household appliances, etc.
2.Container paper
Containerboard paper is also called kraft paper. Domestic containerboard paper is divided into three grades: high-quality product, first-class product, and qualified product. The paper must be tough, with high bursting strength, ring crush strength and tear resistance, as well as high water resistance.
The purpose of boxboard paper is mainly to make corrugated boxes after being bonded with corrugated paper cores. It is used to package household appliances, daily necessities and other outer packaging. It can also be used for envelopes, shopping bags, cement bags, etc.
3. White board paper
There are two categories of whiteboard paper, one is specifically for printing, meaning the abbreviation of “whiteboard paper”, and the other is specifically suitable for writing paper on whiteboards.
Because the fiber structure of whiteboard paper is relatively uniform, the surface layer has filler and rubber components, and the surface is coated with a certain amount of paint and has been processed by multi-roller calendering, so the texture of the paperboard is relatively tight and the thickness is relatively uniform.
The difference between white board paper and coated paper, offset paper, and letterpress paper lies in the weight of the paper, the thickness of the paper, and the different colors of the front and back sides. White board paper is gray on one side and white on the other, also known as gray base coated white.
White board paper is relatively white and smooth, has relatively uniform ink absorption, less surface powder removal and lint loss, and the paper is stronger and has better folding resistance, but its water content is higher, and it is mainly used for single sheets. The surface is color printed and made into cartons for packaging, or used for design and handmade products. For the packaging of some color boxes, we can use this material.
4. White cardboard
White cardboard is a single-layer or multi-layer paper made entirely from bleached chemical pulp and fully sized. It is generally divided into blue and white single- and double-sided coated cardboard, white-backed coated cardboard, and gray-backed coated cardboard.
Blue and white double-sided copper card paper: divided into card paper and copper card paper. West card paper is mainly used for business cards, wedding invitations, postcards, etc.; copper card paper is mainly used for book and magazine covers, postcards, cards, etc. that require exquisite printing. paper box.
White-background coated cardboard: It is mainly used to make higher-end cartons and vacuum blister packaging. Therefore, the paper surface must have high whiteness, smooth paper surface, good ink acceptance, and good gloss.
Gray-backed coated cardboard: The surface layer uses bleached chemical pulp, and the core layer and bottom layer are unbleached kraft pulp, groundwood pulp or clean waste paper. It is suitable for color printing of advanced cartons and is mainly used to make various cartons and hardcover book jackets. .
5.Gold and silver cardboard
Gold and silver card is a kind of special paper, which is mainly divided into two types: bright gold card and matte gold card, bright silver card and matte silver card. It is based on a single copper paper or gray board paper coated with a layer of gold and silver foil media. This material does not easily absorb ink when printing, so a quick-drying ink is used for printing.
According to the definition of Baidu Encyclopedia, UV transfer technology is used to apply a layer of UV oil on the surface of the paper through a rubber cloth, and then the light column film or specific pattern is transferred to the printing paper through a roller, so that the surface of the paper generates light columns with laser paper. Effect.
In order to highlight the grade of printing and packaging products, more and more customers choose to use gold and silver cards for printing. This technology is widely used in cigarette boxes, wine boxes, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc. It is an emerging anti-counterfeiting technology in the current industry.
So what kind of packaging is suitable for our fragile cups as promotional gifts?
Now we want to talk in detail about what kind of packaging should be used for fragile products such as glass cups and ceramic cups.

If the goods are palletized, are there extra cartons that require special handling?
Yes, in order to prevent the cartons from being scattered when they break, we usually pack the goods together for moving and wrap them in multiple layers with stretch film after palletizing. The inside can be waterproof and moisture-proof, and the outside can increase the strength of the carton. Even if it breaks, the wrapping film will protect the goods from being lost.
Which packaging is a trap?
That’s the air bag. This kind of packaging material takes up too much space and is packed irregularly. Many of the damages are caused by trusting its protective capabilities. Customers are advised to use it with caution.

They also have the advantages of being recyclable, economical and environmentally friendly, and are also widely used.
