1. Material adaptation based on product characteristics

Physical property matching: the physical properties of the product, such as weight, shape and texture, determine the strength and flexibility of the packaging bag material. For products with large weight, such as rice, flour, etc., it is necessary to choose high-strength materials, such as polypropylene (PP) materials commonly used in woven bags, which have good load-bearing capacity and are not easy to break. For products with irregular shape or soft texture, such as plush toys, clothing, etc., polyethylene (PE) film bags with good flexibility are more suitable, which can closely fit the product shape and reduce the packaging volume. ​

Chemical compatibility: The chemical nature of the product is an important basis for selecting the material of the packaging bag. If the product is corrosive, oxidizing or easy to chemically react with other substances, materials with strong chemical stability should be selected. For example, when packaging acidic or alkaline products, acid and alkali resistant plastic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), should be used to prevent corrosion of the packaging bag and ensure that the quality of the product is not affected. ​

2. The material needs of the use scenario

Storage environment adaptability: consider the storage environment of the product, such as temperature, humidity, light and other factors. In high temperature environment, some materials may soften, deformation, at this time need to choose high temperature resistant materials, such as polyester (PET). For moisture-sensitive products, aluminum foil composite bag with good moisture resistance is the ideal choice, aluminum foil can effectively block water vapor and keep the product dry. ​

Transportation conditions considerations: If the product needs to be transported for long distances or faces bumps, extrusion and other situations, the packaging bag material should have good impact resistance and wear resistance. For example, packaging electronic products with corrugated cartons, the corrugated structure can buffer external forces and protect the product; During transportation, the outer layer can also be reinforced with woven bags to enhance wear resistance. ​

3. Environmental protection and sustainability requirements

Recyclable materials: With the enhancement of environmental awareness, the priority choice of recyclable packaging bag materials has become a trend. Common recyclable plastics, such as PE, PP, PET, etc., can be reprocessed into plastic products through a specific process after recycling, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. ​

Biodegradable materials: For scenes with high environmental impact requirements, biodegradable materials stand out. Such as polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based plastics, etc., can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, and eventually converted into harmless substances, suitable for food packaging, disposable packaging and other fields. ​

4. Cost-benefit analysis

Material cost control: under the premise of meeting the packaging needs, reasonable control of material costs. The price difference of different materials is large, such as the relatively low cost of paper materials, often used in ordinary product packaging; And some high-performance composite materials are more expensive, suitable for high-end products with demanding packaging requirements. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the product value and packaging cost, and choose cost-effective materials. ​

Comprehensive cost considerations: In addition to the cost of materials, it is also necessary to consider the processing costs during the packaging process, transportation costs and the cost of product damage due to improper packaging. For example, although the price of some materials is lower, the processing is difficult, which will increase the processing cost; If the packaging material can not effectively protect the product, resulting in product damage during transportation or storage, it will bring greater economic losses. ​

5. Compliance with regulations and standards

The selection of packaging materials must strictly follow the relevant national and regional regulations and standards, such as the health standards of food packaging materials, the safety standards of pharmaceutical packaging materials, etc. Materials that do not meet the requirements of regulations are strictly prohibited from being used in the packaging of the corresponding products, otherwise they will face legal risks and pose a potential threat to the health of consumers. ​

The selection of packaging bag materials needs to comprehensively weigh product characteristics, use scenarios, environmental requirements, cost effectiveness and regulatory standards and other factors to achieve the best packaging effect and economic benefits, and promote the sustainable development of the packaging industry.
