Skin Packaging

Skin Packaging is a packaging technology in which a product is placed on a cardboard or bubble film, and a heat-softened plastic film is tightly conformed to the product and the backing board under vacuum. Its characteristic is that the film wraps the product like a second skin, being transparent and intuitive, dustproof and moisture-proof, and providing good fixation. In foreign trade, it is commonly used for retail packaging of small items such as hardware tools, electronic components, toys, and stationery, facilitating hanging display and transport protection. Usage scenarios include supermarket shelves, exhibition samples, and e-commerce direct shipping. Precautions: Select appropriate film thickness and backing board material according to product shape to avoid sharp products puncturing the film; vacuum degree should be moderate, as too high may cause film rupture or product deformation. Differences from other terms: Unlike Blister Packaging, skin packaging film completely conforms to the product without the need for pre-formed blister shells; unlike Shrink Packaging, skin packaging usually uses cardboard as the base, and the film does not form an independent bag shape. In foreign trade documents, the packaging method should be clearly stated to avoid misunderstanding by customs or customers.
