Why are paper boxes more popular?

Today's custom packaging boxes are made of wood, metal and other packaging materials, but in the market survey results, paper boxes are still more popular. Why is this? Because paper boxes are lightweight, have excellent processing and printing properties, are easy to handle and do not pollute the environment, especially now that paper or cardboard is available in a wide range of colours and varieties, giving users multiple choices.

There is a wide variety of papers and a wide choice. There are white cardboard, vellum, coated paper, art paper paper, etc. There are many kinds of art papers. White cardboard, vellum, etc. offer a more visual effect, but the vast range of art papers can present a rich visual effect. For example, the surface of the paper resembles the texture of leather and is highly textured. The tactile paper brush is oiled and feels smooth and delicate. With modern technological advances, paper can even produce the visual sensation of wood and metal and at a much lower cost than solid wood and metal.

Third: paper packaging has a high safety factor.
