플라스틱 포장재 vs 종이 포장재: 귀하의 사업장에 더 적합한 것은 무엇일까요?
In modern society, both plastic and paper packaging have unique benefits and challenges.And high-quality packaging solutions play a critical role in product presentation, protection, and logistics.
How to choose depends on your specific business needs. After reading the essay, you will fully understand the differences between these two products.
Main differences: Plastic vs Paper Packaging Materials
재료
Paper packaging is made from renewable resources such as natural fibers and wood. These materials are recycled and biodegradable. Compared to plastic, paper material is often considered more eco-friendly and green. On the other hand, plastic film is made from petroleum-based products, so it can be used in industries, such as stretch wrap film, stretch hood, and other plastic packaging. However, it should be noted that plastic is not biodegradable. Some production lines have started to use PCR to produce stretch film for the environment and save costs.
내구성과 강도
As we all know, paper is generally less durable than plastic and can tear or become damaged more easily under heavy weight or moisture. But with the advancement, paper packaging has become stronger and puncture resistant. Plastic packaging is known for its strength and durability and provides superior protection against punctures, moisture, and containments. So it is ideal for products that require long shelf life or transportation over long distances.
Industries Suited
Plastic packaging is widely used in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and consumer goods. It can extend product shelf life. At the same time, paper packaging can be easily customized with printing, folding, and shaping to meet specific brandings, such as cosmetics and the express delivery industry. So it is ideal for products looking for unique, visually appealing packaging solutions.
Environmental Consideration
While paper is biodegradable and recyclable, the environmental impact of paper packaging is tied to deforestation, water use, and energy consumption in its production. The major concern with plastic is its longevity in the environment. Plastic waste can take centuries to break down, leading to pollution in landfills and oceans.
Cost Consideration
Anyone focuses on cost when choosing products. Generally, plastic materials tend to be more cost-effective due to ease of production. Also, they require fewer resources to produce, transport, and store. On the other hand, paper packaging can be more expensive, particularly for high-quality, customizable options, and the production process can be resource-heavy.
The types of plastic products in Yuandian
Heavy-duty PE bag: With innovative multi-layered co-extrusion blown film manufacturing technique, FFS Heavy-duty PE Tubular bags offer excellent endurance and good thickness uniformity. In an integrated solution known as a form-fill-seal (FFS) system, the bag is cut and shaped from a continuous reel, then filled and sealed before becoming a final pack.
Stretch film: With the state-of-the-art cast line from W&H that is used to wrap Pallets and secure load stability during transit. Our 55-layer nano stretch film creates extremely ‘thin’ films that are intelligently stacked to make this ultra-thin yet highly resistant to punctures and tearing.
Stretch hood: Stretch hood is an elastic tubular film made by three or more layers of co-extrusion line. Stretch Hood combines the benefits of traditional Shrink Film and Pallet Wrap film, offering greater holding force, high elasticity, exceptional puncture resistance, and superb load stability.
Composite plastic packaging bags: This packaging is made by laminating several layers of plastic and/or metalized films together before converting the composite material into a bag, which requires a heat seal. Composite plastic films are an excellent print medium, and the wide array of styles are prone to being displayed for commercial appeal.
결론
Nowadays, Yuandian only offers plastic packaging. However, both materials have distinct advantages depending on your business needs. Paper packaging is biodegradable and eco-friendly, so it is ideal for companies aiming to align with sustainability goals. However, it can be less durable, especially under challenging conditions like moisture and heavy weight.
On the other hand, industrial packaging made from plastic provides exceptional strength, durability, and flexibility, making it suitable for industries such as logistics, food and beverage. While some people worry about environmental concerns, the rise of sustainable options, such as PCR(Post-Consumer Recycled) stretch films, is helping to reduce its ecological footprint. Moreover, plastic is cheaper than paper in the packaging society.
