What kind of plastic sheet is needed for toy packaging folding boxes?

The selection of plastic sheet for toy packaging folding boxes needs to comprehensively consider the material, size, weight of the toy, and the performance requirements of the packaging box.

Commonly used plastic sheets are mainly the following:

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheet:

Advantages: relatively low price, good toughness, easy to thermoform, and can be made into various complex shapes.

Disadvantages: poor environmental performance, harmful gases are produced when burned, and it is not suitable for food packaging or direct contact parts of children’s toys.

Scope of application: Suitable for making some toy packaging boxes that do not require high environmental protection, such as some small electronic toys, stationery, etc.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) sheet:

Advantages: high transparency, high hardness, stable chemical properties, high temperature resistance, and good environmental performance.

Disadvantages: relatively high price and difficult thermoforming.

Scope of application: Suitable for making high-end toy packaging boxes, such as electronic toys, model toys, etc., especially for products with high requirements for transparency and environmental performance.

PS (polystyrene) sheet:

Advantages: cheap, easy to shape, smooth surface.

Disadvantages: low hardness, fragile, poor heat resistance.

Scope of application: suitable for making some toy packaging boxes that do not require high strength, such as some small plastic toys.

PP (polypropylene) sheet:

Advantages: good heat resistance, good chemical stability, good environmental performance, and recyclable.

Disadvantages: poor transparency and relatively low hardness.

Scope of application: suitable for making some toy packaging boxes that require high heat resistance, such as some toys that require high-temperature disinfection.

When choosing plastic sheets, the following factors should also be considered:

Material of the toy: If the toy is made of hard materials such as metal or glass, it is necessary to choose a sheet with better toughness, such as PVC or PET.

Size and weight of the toy: For large or heavy toys, it is necessary to choose a sheet with a larger thickness to ensure the strength of the packaging box.

Shape of the packaging box: For packaging boxes with complex shapes, it is necessary to choose a sheet that is easy to thermoform, such as PVC or PS.

Environmental protection requirements: If you have high environmental protection requirements, it is recommended to choose PET or PP sheets with good environmental protection performance.

Summary:

To choose the right plastic sheet, you need to consider the characteristics of the toy, the requirements of the packaging box, and the cost. Generally speaking, PET sheet is a more ideal choice, but if you are more sensitive to cost, you can also choose PVC or PS sheet.
