As a special class of commodities, due to their own and objective conditions of the limitations, the packaging of tea is different from the packaging of other general commodities. Today, the commonly used tea packaging methods are mainly the following.

2.1 metal cans

Metal cans packaging breakage, moisture, sealing performance is very excellent, is the more ideal packaging for tea. Metal cans are generally made of tin-plated sheet steel, can shape in the square and cylindrical, etc., the cover has a single layer cover and double cover two kinds. From the sealing up points, there are two kinds of general cans and sealed cans. In packaging technology, general cans can be sealed into the deoxidizer packaging method to remove the oxygen in the package. Sealed cans are more inflatable, vacuum packaging. Metal cans of tea protection is better than composite film, and the appearance of beautiful, noble, the disadvantage is the high cost of packaging, packaging and commodity weight ratio is high, increasing transportation costs. Exquisite design of metal cans suitable for high-grade tea packaging.

2.2 carton packaging

Carton is made of whiteboard paper, grayboard, etc. After printing and molding, carton packaging to prevent easy breakage, shading performance is also excellent. In order to solve the carton packaging tea aroma evaporation and from the outside world from the influence of odor, generally use polyethylene plastic bag packaging tea and then loaded into the carton. The disadvantage of carton packaging is susceptible to moisture, now in the past few years the emergence of paper-plastic composite boxes, to overcome the problem of moisture susceptibility of the carton, this inner layer of plastic film layer or coated with moisture-resistant coating of cardboard as packaging materials for the production of the box, both with the composite film bag packaging features, but also with the carton packaging with the protection, rigidity and other properties. If you use a plastic bag inside as a small bag, the protective effect is better.

Since most plastic films have a light transmittance of 80% to 90%, in order to reduce the transmittance, UV inhibition can be added to the packaging material or the light transmittance can be reduced by printing and coloring. In addition, aluminum foil or vacuum aluminized film can be used as the base material of the composite material for light-shielding packaging. Composite film bag packaging in a variety of forms, there are three-sided sealing shape, stand-up pouch shape, folding shape, etc.. As the composite film bag has good printability, with its sales packaging design, to attract customers, promote tea sales more unique effect.
