Plastic has traditionally been recognized for its functional capabilities. It is strong, resilient and at least semi-impermeable, making it a sensible choice for packaging perishable or environmentally sensitive liquids like milk, detergent and other cleaning agents.The type of packaging chosen for any given product is dependent on many factors. That is why one supplier can justifiably pack their products in Clear Folding Box while apparently cardboard box would do just as well. What is it exactly that affects the choice of the packaging that suppliers use for their products? Appeal to the consumer and safety of the product are the more important factors a supplier would always consider. Cost also influences the choice of packaging with perfect packaging options being avoided due to restrictive costs while cheaper alternatives are sought after. The required care and ease of handling one packaging over another disqualify some packaging methods as options. All in all, the supplier needs to define his packaging problem then map it to available options to see which best solves the problem.

Boxes come with lids or no lid; those without a lid have folding covers or tuck in closures. Again it is imperative that the supplier is able to define clearly and entirely his packaging need. Some goods due to their nature are better packed inside boxes with lids yet others are best suited to boxes without lids. Knowing what service they need from the packaging will make it easier for the supplier to settle on a choice. This is quite important since choosing the wrong box will reflect badly on the supplier when the product gets to the consumer. Clear folding boxes are a more common solution to a packaging need. The need therein being that the contents of the box need to remain in view even when the box is fully closed. There are many reasons why a supplier might need to use a clear folding box. Take for example when his merchandise has to be on display for some time before it is bought. To reduce the pains of the retailer while trying to sell an item that has lost color and luster due to endless months on display, the supplier can pack the item in a clear folding box. That way unless the item has an expiry date, it can remain on display indefinitely with little or no loss of value due to such environmentally accelerated wear.

All great advances in man's history came from a revolution.Plastic tends to accumulate static. When printing on plastic it is especially important to use an anti-static device on the press and to regulate pressroom temperature and humidity. Plastic has added a whole new dimension to packaging, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. As you can see, however, choosing a substrate is more complex than simply asking "paper or plastic?" And that is exactly what clear folding boxes are doing: revolutionizing the packaging industry. At some point in the near future, all businesses will be packing their products in transparent folding boxes. Of course with the exception of those whose products are photo-sensitive. Any business that will take this tide and ride it off to the unexplored horizons will have a considerable and advantageous head start by the time others catch up. Offering a new innovative service always wins over customers from competitors. A good game plan is to win them now and worry about keeping them later. After all by the time the competitors finally decide to try this type of folding boxes, there already will be a new innovative thing to move on to.
