In which fields are white cardboard generally used?

Because of its high stiffness, smooth surface, good printing effect, and certain folding resistance and load-bearing, the core application of white cardboard is concentrated in the field of "needing high-quality visual presentation+basic protection", among which packaging, printing and cultural creation account for the highest proportion. The specific breakdown scenarios are as follows:

First, the packaging field: the core is used for "high-value+protective" packaging, which is suitable for multi-category products.

Packaging is the most important application scenario of white cardboard, especially suitable for products that have requirements on appearance texture and printing color and need slight protection. Common sub-scenarios include:

Food packaging: both safety and face value

Baking packaging: such as cake boxes (single-layer/double-layer white cardboard, the stiffness support box body is not easy to deform), biscuit packaging boxes (the surface is covered with food-grade PE film, which is oil-proof and moisture-proof), and egg tart/doughnut paper supporting boxes (thin white cardboard, which is light and can directly contact with food);

Snack packaging: such as nut gift box (thick white cardboard corrugated, outer white cardboard printed with exquisite patterns, inner corrugated to enhance cushioning), chocolate packaging box (matte white cardboard, improving high-end texture, partially bronzing/silvering);

Fast-moving food: such as instant noodle seasoning package (thin white cardboard, printed clearly, easily torn and waterproof) and milk tea cup cover (white cardboard cut into shapes, heat-insulated and printable with brand logo).

Features: It should meet the food contact safety standards (such as GB 4806.8), and some parts should be coated with waterproof and oil-proof coatings.

Daily chemical/beauty packaging: highlighting the brand texture

Packaging of skin care products: such as cream cartons and essence packaging boxes (thick white cardboard, with UV and embossing technology on the surface to enhance high-end feeling, suitable for small and medium-sized products);

Make-up packaging: such as the outer carton of lipstick and eye shadow (white cardboard printed with bright colors, with gilded borders, attracting consumers and easy to fold and store);

Daily necessities: such as shampoo sample boxes and laundry detergent trial boxes (thin white cardboard, low cost and clear printing, suitable for promotional gift packaging).

Features: Depending on the high printability of white cardboard, it is necessary to accurately restore the brand color, often with special processes (bronzing, laminating) to enhance the visual impact.

Electronic/digital parts packaging: light protection+information presentation

Small accessories: such as mobile phone chargers, earphones, and data cable packaging boxes (white cardboard is laminated and corrugated, the outer white cardboard is printed with product parameters, and the inner corrugated is anti-extrusion);

Digital consumables: such as U-disk, memory card packaging box (thick white cardboard, simple structure, window display products, convenient for consumers to view intuitively);

Accessories of small household appliances: such as razor blades and hair dryer accessories boxes (white cardboard is cut into shapes, and the inside is separated by cardboard to avoid shaking of accessories).

Features: No need for high-strength buffering, the focus is on clearly presenting product information, and the packaging is lightweight (reducing logistics costs).

Second, the printing field: used for "high quality+short cycle" printed matter, suitable for business and consumption scenarios.

The flat surface and high whiteness of white cardboard make it suitable for printing fine patterns and characters, which are commonly used in short editions or small and medium-sized batches of printed matter that require texture:

Business Printing: Enhancing Professional Image

Business card: 250-300g white cardboard is commonly used in high-end business cards, and the surface can be matte coated and embossed, which feels thick and not easy to break;

Album/sample: such as corporate brochure inner page (thin white cardboard with high color reproduction, suitable for displaying product pictures), product manual (white cardboard printed clearly, resistant to turning over and unbreakable);

Envelope/folder: such as business invitation envelope (white cardboard is stiff, not easy to deform, and can be printed with hot stamping address), simple folder (thick white cardboard is cut and folded, and files can be stored easily).

Features: printing clarity and durability should be taken into account, and some surfaces should be treated (coated with film and oiled) to improve wear resistance.

Consumer Printing: Adapting to Daily and Festival Scenes

Greeting cards/postcards: Birthday greeting cards and holiday postcards are usually made of white cardboard, the surface of which can be hand-painted, printed or folded in three dimensions, with bright colors and good texture;

Hangtag/label: clothing hangtag (white cardboard printing brand information, size, material, can be hung by rope), commodity price label (thin white cardboard, easy to paste and clearly printed);

Posters/leaflets: small promotional posters (white cardboard is stiff, suitable for posting in windows and counters, and not easy to curl), and high-end leaflets (such as leaflets of luxury goods and medical and beauty institutions, and white cardboard enhances brand grade).

Features: Most of them are printed in short period and small batch, relying on the rapid processing characteristics of white cardboard and without complicated post-processing (such as binding).

Third, cultural creation and other fields: the combination of personalization and functionality to meet the needs of the minority.

The easy processing (cutting, folding and shaping) of white cardboard makes it flexible in the fields of cultural creation, office and so on. Common scenes include:

Wenchuang products: personalized design carrier

Around the handbook: such as handbook stickers (white cardboard as the bottom, die-cutting after printing patterns on the surface), and the cover of sticky notes (thick white cardboard, which can be bronzed and embossed to improve the texture of handbook);

Decorative ornaments: such as paper storage boxes (white cardboard can be folded, hand-painted or printed, suitable for storing small objects on the desktop), holiday decorations (such as the skeleton of Christmas cards and Mid-Autumn Lantern, white cardboard has good support and is easy to color);

Manual DIY: such as children's hand-made materials (white cardboard is cut into basic shapes for children to paint and paste) and creative gifts packaging (hand-folded paper boxes, personalized customized patterns).

Features: Emphasize personalization and playability, rely on the processability of white cardboard, and realize creative modeling without complicated equipment.

Office and industrial assistance: functional application

Office consumables: such as post-it notes (thin white cardboard, easy to write and difficult to penetrate) and file folder partitions (white cardboard cut to standard size to separate different types of files);

Industrial backing paper: such as small parts backing paper (white cardboard is placed between small metal parts to prevent scratching the surface during transportation) and printed matter interlayer paper (white cardboard is placed between picture books and posters to prevent ink from getting dirty).

Features: Emphasis on functionality, no requirement for printing, but flatness and basic strength (such as tear resistance) should be ensured.
