The Material of The Take-Out Packaging Box

The use rate of take-out packaging boxes is getting higher and higher, and the people who use take-out packaging boxes are mostly office workers. Some people may not pay much attention to the material, but there are still people who are concerned.

Let's talk about the material of the take-out packaging box.

The previous take-out packaging boxes were made of the same material as plastics. The high temperatures will produce harmful substances and are not easily degraded. However, the current disposable take-out packaging boxes mainly include PP polypropylene and PS polystyrene.

It is tasteless and odorless. PP is soft. Generally, the temperature of PP is -6°C to +120°C, so it is especially suitable for holding hot rice and hot dishes. It can be heated in a microwave oven or even steamed in a steam cabinet.

The temperature of modified PP can be controlled from -18°C to +110°C. In addition to heating to 100°C, the take-out packaging box made of this kind of PP can also be used in the refrigerator.

PS is hard and transparent, but it is easy to tear. PS starts to soften when the temperature reaches 75 degrees, so it is not suitable for holding hot meals and dishes. However, PS has good low-temperature performance and is a good packaging material for ice cream.

In order to reduce costs, some take-out packaging boxes use PP as the box and PS as the lid. The advantage is that the lid is transparent and the PS is harder. It can be made of thinner materials to reduce costs. However, consumers of this design understand two materials Please remember not to put the whole box of lunch with the lid into the microwave oven for heating.
