I. Bubble wrap

① Definition of bubble wrap
Bubble film, also known as air cushion film, air pearl film, bubble cloth, bubble paper, is a widely used packaging materials. The main material is plastic (PE polyethylene) after high temperature foaming made.

②Advantages
Air cushion film middle layer is full of air, so light, transparent, flexible, sound insulation, shockproof, anti-wear performance, with good shock absorption, impact resistance, heat sealing, non-toxic, odorless, moisture, corrosion resistance, transparency is good.

③Uses
Widely used in electronics, instrumentation, ceramics, handicrafts, household appliances, since the car line, kitchen, furniture and paint products, glass products and precision instruments and other anti-shock cushioning packaging.

II. EPE
① Definition of EPE
EPE, also known as polyethylene foam cotton, is a new type of environmentally friendly materials. It is PE polyethylene after high-temperature foaming to produce countless independent bubble composition. 

② Advantages
It is not easy to break, not easy to deformation, easier to recycle, waterproof, moisture-proof, shock-proof, sound insulation, and thermal insulation characteristics.

③Uses
Hardware lighting, crafts, glass, ceramics, home appliances, spraying, furniture, furniture, wine and resin and other high-grade fragile gift packaging, hardware, toys, fruit, footwear, packaging, daily necessities and other product packaging, as well as express packaging.
