Pearl cotton (EPE), also known as foamed polyethylene. Made with polyethylene resin as the main body, incorporating foaming agents, crosslinking agents, and other modifiers. Pearl cotton has advantages such as strong buffering, heat resistance, high water absorption, and low density. It has outstanding protective functions in situations such as kneading, friction, and collision. In addition to its outstanding functions, EPE pearl cotton can also participate in the maintenance of various anti-static agents, flame retardants, and other additives. This type of information is also recyclable environmental protection information, but the quotation is relatively high. Currently, it is used in relatively valuable or fragile products.
With the increasing number of online e-commerce platforms, the smoke of the pricing war is also intensifying. Major online e-commerce platforms are trying their best to reduce product prices in order to improve sales. In today's fiercely competitive online sales market, there are still some merchants who insist on quality as their top priority. They firmly believe that even if their prices are more expensive than other merchants, their high-quality products and packaging can still win back the hearts of consumers. However, in today's consumer group that values pricing, the same product from two e-commerce platforms may miss a good opportunity with consumers due to a difference of a few yuan.
Nowadays, when online e-commerce sells valuable or fragile items, most of them use pearl cotton as a filling protective material. Although pearl cotton as a filling material can effectively maintain the safety of goods due to its outstanding protective function, its high cost is the culprit behind the high price of goods. So how can we achieve the goal of not compromising the quality of the product and the quality of the packaging materials, while effectively reducing the cost of the product?
Pearl cotton bag
It is made of EPE materials, so it is also known as EPE bag, EPE pearl lamination bag; Because pure pearl cotton is mainly made of high-pressure low-density polyethylene as the main raw material; The product is generated by physical foaming and kneading, so it is very simple to crack. Therefore, a layer of PE film (or OPP film) needs to be added to the pearl cotton to add tensile and tear resistance functions; It is an environmentally friendly and widely used packaging material.
EPE pearl cotton foam sheet
When conducting deep processing, only pearl cotton laminating machines and laminating machines need to be manufactured. HDPE film, aluminum film, plastic coated paper, plastic coated cloth, etc. are coated on the surface of EPE sheets. After coating, the EPE sheets not only improve mechanical strength, but also enhance various functions and attach various pictures, texts, and expand product promotion. Moreover, the composite sheets can be widely used as lining materials for box linings, life jackets, insulation, moisture-proof tents, etc., and the economic benefits will double accordingly. It can be said that the use of maintenance film on pearl cotton significantly enhances the value of general pearl cotton.
Vacuum forming is the process of heating, vacuum forming, and cooling resin sheets such as PVC, PS, PET, etc. in a vacuum forming machine to form them according to the shape of the mold. Then, they are stamped into individual products on a punching machine using a knife die, and finally processed into packaging products through folding, punching, and other technologies. This type of packaging product has the characteristics of cheap materials, simple technology, low investment, and considerable profits. It is suitable for packaging small daily necessities, small appliances, toys, and other goods, but not suitable for packaging products with high buffering requirements and heavy goods
