Paper packaging materials and containers are the most widely used materials in the packaging field, among which, pulp molded products are one of the main products of paper packaging. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of intelligent equipment technology, the pulp molding process has made rapid progress, and the birth of a large number of application scenarios has triggered a boom in the paper-plastic manufacturing industry.
Pulp molded products raw materials from nature, after use waste can be recycled and reused, degradable, is a typical environmentally friendly green packaging products, it is gradually recognized and accepted in the growing "desire for harmonious coexistence between man and nature", its development process conforms to the world's green wave of protection of nature and ecological environment.
Advantages:
● The raw materials are waste paper or plant fiber, with wide raw materials and green environmental protection;
● Its production process is completed by pulping, adsorption molding, drying and shaping, which is harmless to the environment;
● Can be recycled and recycled;
● The volume is smaller than foamed plastic, can be overlapped, and the transportation is convenient.
The biggest highlight of pulp molding products is that they come from natural fibers, return to nature without polluting the environment at all, and become a harmonious and organic part of nature. Truly come from nature, return to nature, do not pollute the environment throughout the life cycle, fully conform to the concept of environmental protection, and contribute to "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains".
Pulp molded products have good shockproof, impact-proof, anti-static, anti-corrosion effects, and no pollution to the environment, which is conducive to the manufacturer's products entering the international and domestic markets, and is widely used in catering, food, electronics, electrical appliances, computers, mechanical parts, industrial instruments, handicrafts glass, ceramics, toys, medicine, decoration and other industries.
According to the use scenarios of pulp molded products, it can be divided into four major uses: industrial packaging, agricultural packaging, food packaging and medical product packaging.
▶ ▶ Food Packaging
Pulp molded tableware refers to paper tableware made of pulp through molding, molding, drying and other processes, mainly including molded paper cups, molded paper bowls, molded paper lunch boxes, molded paper trays, molded paper plates, etc.
Its products have a generous and practical appearance, good strength and plasticity, pressure resistance and folding resistance, light material, easy to store and transport; It can not only be waterproof and oilproof, but also adapt to freezer storage and microwave oven heating; It can not only adapt to the eating habits and food structure of modern people, but also meet the needs of fast food processing. Pulp molded tableware is the main alternative to disposable plastic tableware.
▶ ▶ Industrial packaging
The use of paper mold material as padding, with good plasticity, strong cushioning strength, fully meet the requirements of electrical products of inner packaging, its production process is simple and no risk of polluting the environment, and the product has strong adaptability and a wide range of uses.
Pulp molded industrial packaging products are now gradually widely used in home appliances, electronics, communication equipment, computer accessories, ceramics, glass, instrumentation, toys, lighting, handicrafts and other products lined with shockproof packaging. ，
▶ ▶ Agricultural and sideline products packaging
The most commonly used pulp molded products in the agricultural and sideline product industry are egg trays.
Pulp molded egg holders are particularly suitable for mass transportation and packaging of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and other poultry eggs due to their loose material and unique egg shaped curved structure, as well as better breathability, freshness, and excellent cushioning and positioning effects. Using paper molded egg trays to package fresh eggs can reduce the damage rate of egg products from 8% to 10% of traditional packaging to less than 2% during long-distance transportation.
Gradually, paper pallets for fruits and vegetables have also become popular. Pulp molded pallets can not only prevent collision and damage between fruits, but also emit the respiratory heat of fruits, absorb evaporated water, suppress ethylene concentration, prevent fruit decay and deterioration, extend the freshness period of fruits, and play a role that other packaging materials cannot play.
▶ ▶ Innovative application areas
Pulp molded products not only have the above-mentioned purposes, but also have special beautification functions, such as cultural and creative products and handicrafts; Paper sprue pipe; Bottles, barrels, boxes, decorative boards, etc. formed in one go. It will also have great potential in industries such as military, clothing, and furniture.
Promotion prospects
As an environmentally friendly emerging product, pulp molded products are gradually entering a mature period of product life curve. With the improvement of people's living standards and environmental awareness, as well as the continuous improvement and enhancement of pulp molded product technology, the application scenarios of pulp molded products will definitely become more and more widespread, playing a greater role in global environmental protection and plastic prohibition.
Pulp molded products have the characteristics of abundant raw materials, pollution-free production and use process, wide applicability, low cost, light weight, high strength, good plasticity, buffering, interchangeability, and decoration performance, and can be reused and recycled. More importantly, compared with traditional cardboard packaging products, it has a fundamental leap - it has improved paper packaging from cardboard to paper fiber packaging in a new stage.
