Flocked Tray refers to a tray whose surface has been treated with a flocking process, usually made from plastic (such as PS, PET, PVC) or paper-based substrates. Short fibers (such as nylon or viscose) are vertically implanted onto a glue-coated surface through electrostatic attraction, creating a soft, suede-like texture. In foreign trade, this term is commonly used in packaging, display, and logistics, especially for the display and protection of high-end goods such as jewelry, watches, cosmetics, electronics, and gifts. Use scenarios include luxury packaging exported to European and American markets, trade show sample displays, and retail store displays. Notes: The substrate material, flocking fiber type, color, size, weight, and environmental standards (such as REACH, RoHS) must be clearly specified; the difference between a flocked tray and an ordinary plastic tray lies in surface texture and scratch resistance, while the difference from a flocked fabric tray lies in substrate hardness and forming method. In addition, attention should be paid to moisture-proof and pressure-proof transport to avoid fiber shedding. Quotations are usually given per 'piece' or 'set', with minimum order quantity, mold fee, and packaging method noted.
📝 Examples
1. We need to order 5,000 black flocked trays for packaging high-end jewelry. Please provide an FOB Shanghai quotation and delivery time. (Note: Specify quantity, color, use, and trade term for inquiry.)
2. The customer reported that the flocked tray fibers are shedding. Please confirm whether this is caused by glue quality or transportation friction, and provide a solution. (Note: Quality complaint scenario involving process issues and after-sales handling.)
