Core Applications of Packaging Boxes: E-commerce Logistics Becomes a Growth Engine, Multifunctional Adaptation Reshapes Industry Demand: With China's online retail sales of physical goods exceeding 11.8 trillion yuan in 2024, e-commerce logistics has become the largest application scenario for packaging boxes, accounting for more than 45% of the total demand for cardboard boxes. Packaging boxes in this field need to balance protection, efficiency, and brand attributes. The mainstream approach adopts lightweight corrugated paper and folding color box designs, improving compression resistance through structural optimization while adapting to automated packaging processes. There is a clear differentiation in demand for different product categories: 3C products use EVA anti-static linings for drop and shock resistance; fresh food cold chain uses low-temperature resistant coatings and breathable structures to extend shelf life; and small commodities reduce logistics costs through standardized size optimization. Furthermore, the application rate of customized printing (brand logos, marketing copy) and smart tags (NFC/RFID traceability) continues to increase. 75% of brands believe that customized packaging can enhance consumer awareness, and the widespread use of biodegradable materials and recycled paper also meets the policy requirement of a 60% recycling rate in the "14th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy Development," promoting the transformation of e-commerce packaging towards a three-in-one approach of "environmental protection + function + marketing."

How to choose packaging box material?

Safety and compliance are paramount, with environmentally friendly materials becoming mainstream: Food packaging box materials must strictly adhere to standards such as GB 11680. Paper materials that come into direct contact with food are prohibited from using fluorescent whitening agents and recycled waste paper, and plastics must be made from colorless virgin materials (PVC is prohibited). Recommended solutions: Snacks and pastries should use 250-300g laminated white cardboard (oil-resistant and color-enhancing); sauces and skincare products should use waterproof paper with leak-proof inner boxes; tea and health products should prioritize kraft paper (moisture-resistant and natural-looking), and should be printed using food-grade printing materials such as soybean ink. Exported products must additionally comply with EU REACH and US FDA certification requirements.
