The difference between injection molded packaging boxes and vacuum formed packaging boxes

　　1. Different Materials

　　The manufacturing processes and materials of injection molded packaging boxes and vacuum formed packaging boxes are different. Injection molded packaging boxes use injection molding technology, and the commonly used materials are PE, PP, PS, PVC, and other plastics. These plastics have excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for producing packaging boxes with high strength requirements.

　　Vacuum formed packaging boxes use vacuum forming technology, and the commonly used materials are PVC, PET, and other plastics. These plastics have good transparency and flexibility, making them suitable for producing packaging boxes with good texture and appearance.

　　2. Different Costs

　　Due to the use of injection molding technology for injection molded packaging boxes, the production process requires mold design and incurs higher production costs. In contrast, the production cost of vacuum formed packaging boxes is relatively low because the vacuum forming process is simpler, does not require mold design, and the materials used are also cheaper than injection molding materials.

　　3. Different Applicable Ranges

　　Because injection molded packaging boxes have higher strength and stability, they are usually used for transporting, storing, and maintaining industrial products and machinery to ensure the integrity and stability of the products. On the other hand, vacuum formed packaging boxes have higher transparency and good appearance, making them suitable for packaging high-end products such as food, gifts, and cosmetics.

　　4. Different Environmental Friendliness

　　In terms of environmental friendliness, injection molded packaging boxes usually use recyclable materials, and waste during the molding process can be recycled and reused, greatly reducing the impact on the environment. However, the PVC materials used in vacuum formed packaging boxes can easily release harmful gases, causing a certain degree of pollution to the environment.

　　There are differences between injection molded packaging boxes and vacuum formed packaging boxes in terms of manufacturing processes, materials, costs, applicable ranges, and environmental friendliness. Readers can choose the packaging box that suits their needs.
