Hot - melt adhesive is widely used in the production of EPE packaging boxes due to its excellent bonding performance and convenience.
Edge Sealing
Function: Hot - melt adhesive is used for edge sealing to prevent the EPE material from fraying and to improve the appearance of the packaging box. It also provides an additional layer of protection against moisture and dust.
Process: The molten hot - melt adhesive is extruded along the edges of the EPE packaging box. It creates a smooth and continuous seal, covering the cut edges of the EPE sheets. This not only gives the box a more finished look but also helps to prolong its service life by preventing the edges from being damaged or contaminated.
Custom - shaping and Assembly
Function: In the production of custom - shaped EPE packaging boxes, hot - melt adhesive is used to assemble different EPE - cut parts into the desired shape. It allows for the creation of complex structures and precise fittings, meeting the specific packaging requirements of various products.
Process: The hot - melt adhesive is applied to the relevant surfaces of the EPE - cut parts according to the design. The parts are then joined together and held in place until the adhesive solidifies. This process enables the production of packaging boxes with unique shapes and features, providing tailored protection for different items. For example, in the packaging of electronic products, custom - shaped EPE packaging boxes can be created using hot - melt adhesive to precisely fit the contours of the device and its accessories.
