Tin box and paper box overlap in many fields in the packaging market application, but each has its own advantages. Users can choose the appropriate packaging solution according to their own commodity demand.
In terms of material, paper boxes are relatively light, and many paper boxes are foldable, which has great advantages in transportation. However, some hard and shaped paper boxes cannot be folded such as some for mobile phones, watches, jewelry, cosmetics are made of cardboard, equipped with inner trays. When transported in shaped paper boxes, it is not different from the space occupied by the tin box.
Paper box is not as waterproof as tin box. Paper box is easily damaged when exposed to humid environment. On the contrary, tin box has obvious advantages in this regard. In addition, even if the tin box is dented when it is hit, the whole can is not easy to fall apart, and the goods inside can still be well protected.
In addition, both paper box and tin box can be recycled as waste paper and tin in the end. However, the material of the paper box is flammable material, and there are fire protection requirements for storage. Tin box is not flammable, and the fire safety risks are relatively low.
In terms of appearance, the paper box is easy to print and has strong flexibility. It can realize silk screen printing, UV printing, bronzing, etc., and can realize surface treatment of varnish and matte oil, with low cost and low minimum order quantity requirements. The surface printing process of the tin box is very mature. The printed patterns are exquisite and bright.
There is a prominent feature of the tin box, which is the embossing on the can body. Due to the good ductility of tinplate, the stamping die can emboss or depress part of the tin sheet with different text patterns, and show more theme elements of the tin box with the effect of three-dimensional relief, making the tin box packaging more expressive. The fiber material of the carton cannot be stretched similarly, and the paper will be torn and damaged. Surface embossing is a major advantage of the tin box.
In recent years, some high-end products have gradually adopted tin box packaging. Such as watches, wine, cosmetics, medical and health care products. The high-end, beautiful and overall packaging effects that tin boxes can display make them replace some paper box applications in some fields. The application of tin box packaging will continue to expand the market from traditional food, tea, and gifts, and is expected to continue to increase its market share in the packaging industry.
