Innovative Applications of EVA Film in the Packaging Industry
EVA film has excellent moisture-proof performance. Its water vapor transmission rate is as low as 5g/m²·24h, and its molecular structure is dense, effectively blocking environmental moisture. It is particularly suitable for the packaging of products in high-humidity regions or marine transportation environments. It has outstanding tear resistance. Its puncture resistance is higher than that of ordinary PE films, and its right-angle tear strength is high, effectively protecting the contents from mechanical damage during transportation. At the same time, it has excellent optical properties. Its light transmittance is as high as over 92%, and its haze is lower than 3%, presenting an excellent display effect. It is especially suitable for packaging scenarios where product visualization is required. It also has the characteristic of being environmentally friendly and recyclable, conforming to the FDA food contact standard. It can be recycled together with other polyolefin materials, and some models are biodegradable.
The innovative application scenarios of EVA transparent film are also very extensive. It can be used for high-end food packaging, in the field of pharmaceutical packaging, for the protection of electronic products, and for the fresh-keeping packaging of agricultural products.
The market prospects of EVA transparent film are promising. The global market size in 2023 is $870 million, and it is expected to reach $1.32 billion in 2028 (with a compound annual growth rate of 8.7%). There are several industry drivers, including the increased requirements for packaging due to the development of e-commerce logistics, the growing demand for product visualization from consumers, and the promotion of sustainable development policies.
EVA transparent film is reshaping the material selection standards of the packaging industry. Its unique combination of properties provides new solutions for product protection, brand display, and sustainable development. With continuous technological innovation and the expansion of application scenarios, this "visible protection" is bound to become the preferred packaging material for more industries.
