Paper Materials
Recycled Paper: It is remade from recycled waste paper, which can effectively reduce the demand for virgin wood. It has good toughness and printability. Through different processing techniques, various shapes and styles of gift boxes can be made, and its surface can also be exquisitely printed and decorated. Using recycled paper is relatively cost – effective as it helps reduce cost expenses.
Kraft Paper: Usually made from natural wood pulp without excessive chemical treatment, it retains the natural characteristics of paper and is highly environmentally friendly. With high fiber strength, tough texture, abrasion – resistance and water – resistance, it can be used to make simple and natural – style gift boxes, giving a rustic and eco – friendly feeling. Kraft paper is quite tough, so it can be used for a long time. It is not only environmentally friendly but also has a long service life.
Straw Pulp Paper: Made from agricultural straws such as rice straw and wheat straw, it has a wide and renewable source. This kind of paper has a unique texture and color, with natural grain, adding a natural charm to the gift box. It is suitable for making gift boxes with local characteristics or natural themes. Straw pulp paper has a unique texture, which gives a special feeling. It has strong plasticity and can be used to make tissues, art paper, and gift boxes. Gift boxes made of straw pulp paper have a unique charm and are particularly suitable for making high – end gift boxes.、
Bamboo Materials
Bamboo Boards: Bamboo grows rapidly and is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Bamboo boards have high strength and good toughness. After processing, the surface is smooth with natural bamboo patterns, giving a fresh and natural feeling. They can be made into gift boxes of various sizes and shapes, especially suitable for packaging cultural – connotative gifts such as tea and handicrafts. Materials made from bamboo are in line with people’s current concept of environmental protection. People are quite receptive to environmentally friendly materials, especially those that are purely green and sustainable.
Bamboo Fiber Boards: Made by high – temperature pressing of bamboo fibers, they retain the natural characteristics of bamboo fibers, with good breathability and antibacterial properties. Bamboo fiber boards can be processed through techniques such as carving and hollowing to make exquisite gift boxes, showing unique artistic effects and embodying the concept of environmental protection. The advantages of this kind of bamboo fiber board are water – proof, moisture – proof, easy – to – clean, and low – carbon. In terms of making gift boxes, it can be used to hold high – end luxury shoes because the box’s moisture – proof function can prevent the shoes from getting damp and moldy.
Wood Materials
Plywood: It is made by bonding multiple layers of thin wood slices with environmentally friendly glue. Compared with solid wood, it can effectively reduce wood waste. Choosing plywood with environmentally friendly glue meets environmental requirements and has good stability and strength. It can be used to make high – end gift boxes such as jewelry boxes and watch boxes. Plywood has strong plasticity, and the gift boxes made from it are relatively high – end, so this material is very suitable for packaging high – end luxury gifts.
Finger – Jointed Board: Small pieces of wood are spliced together through the finger – jointing process, making full use of wood resources and reducing the demand for large – sized logs. The finger – jointed board has a uniform texture, high strength, and a flat surface. It can be painted and decorated in various ways to make beautiful and environmentally friendly gift boxes.
Degradable Plastics
Polylactic Acid (PLA): Made from plant starches such as corn and cassava through fermentation and polymerization reactions, it can degrade into carbon dioxide and water in the natural environment within a certain period, being friendly to the environment. It has good transparency and gloss, and can be made into transparent or semi – transparent gift boxes, suitable for packaging products such as cosmetics and candies.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates : Produced by microbial fermentation, it has biodegradability and biocompatibility. PHA plastics have good flexibility and processing performance, and can be made into gift boxes of various shapes and functions as needed. They can naturally degrade in environments such as soil and seawater, making it a promising environmentally friendly packaging material.
Natural Fiber Fabrics
Cotton and Linen: Both cotton and linen are natural fibers with characteristics such as softness, breathability, and good moisture absorption. The impact on the environment during their cultivation is relatively small. Cotton and linen fabrics can be used to wrap gift boxes or as lining materials for gift boxes, giving a warm and comfortable feeling. They are suitable for packaging gifts with cultural characteristics or handmade gifts.
Silk: As a high – end natural fiber material, silk has a smooth, soft texture and a unique luster, giving an impression of luxury and elegance. Although the production process of silk is relatively complex, from an environmental perspective, it is a biodegradable natural material. It can be used as the lining or outer packaging of high – end gift boxes to enhance the quality and grade of the gift box. Silk is a material woven from silk threads, which is relatively precious and expensive. Gift boxes packaged with silk usually contain valuable items.
