At the same time, it has the advantages of rich colors and various patterns, and its price is cheaper than leather fabrics, so it is welcomed by consumers. The advantages of PU leather are that it is lighter in weight, waterproof, not easy to swell or deform after absorbing water, environmentally friendly, has a lighter smell, is easy to take care of, is cheap, and can press more patterns on the surface.
Velvet
The velvet is made of polyester fiber, and the fabric made by acupuncture is soft and skin-friendly and it is good for jewelry display, soft touching and can protect the jewelry from scratches. The velvet is light and clean in appearance, and has good air permeability. The texture of velvet is soft, light and transparent, smooth and elastic to the touch, after high temperature shrinkage treatment, it is not easy to deform and wrinkle. In addition, velvet has good physical properties, high fiber strength, wear resistance and durability.
Microfiber
Microfiber is superfine fiber, which belongs to a kind of newly developed high-grade leather in synthetic leather. It has no pores and neat lines. Because of its advantages of wear resistance, cold resistance, breathability, aging resistance, soft texture and beautiful appearance, it has become an ideal material to replace natural leather. Microfiber has moderate elongation, high tear strength and peel strength (abrasion resistance, tear strength, high tensile strength). There is no pollution from production to use, and the environmental protection performance is superior.

Cardboard
Cardboard paper is a kind of cardboard made of recycled waste paper, which is an environmentally friendly packaging material. The paper surface is thin, moderately smooth, with good stiffness, straight, sufficient thickness, tough and not easily deformed. Among all papers, gray cardboard is the most widely used and can be seen everywhere in life. Mainly used for packaging boxes, advertising boards, folders, photo frame backboards, luggage, hardcover books, storage boxes, samples, lining boards, puzzles, partitions, etc. The price of gray cardboard is the cheapest, and it is deeply loved by packaging and printing factories. Therefore, more and more products are produced with gray cardboard to save costs.
Coated Paper
•Coated paper, also known as printing coated paper, is a high-grade printing paper made of base paper coated with white paint. Coated paper is coated with a layer of white paint on the surface of base paper and processed by super calendering. The surface of the paper is smooth, the whiteness is high, the paper fibers are evenly distributed, the thickness is uniform, the stretchability is small, it has good elasticity, strong water resistance and tensile performance, and the ink absorption and ink retention performance is very good. It is mainly used for offset printing and gravure fine mesh printing, such as high-end picture albums, calendars, illustrations in books and periodicals, paper box surface paper or box body material, etc.
•Coated paper is divided into single-sided coated paper, double-sided coated paper, matte coated paper, and cloth-pattern coated paper. According to the quality, it is divided into three grades: A, B, and C.
•The grams of coated paper are 70, 80, 105, 128, 157, 180, 200, 230, 250, 300, 400, 450 grams, etc.
•Advantages: the color is very bright, the paper is very color-absorbing, and the color reproduction is high. It can be covered with a film. After the film is covered, it will feel more hand-feeling. The original material of the paper is very smooth and textured.
•Disadvantages: The handwriting is not easy to dry, because it is too smooth, so things written with pens and fountain pens (gel pens) are easily erased. Compared with the paper of the same gram, the hardness is in the middle, not too hard, and the price is low.
Corrugated Paper
•Corrugated paper is a plate made of a piece of smooth kraft paper and a piece of corrugated corrugated paper formed by processing a corrugated stick. It is generally divided into two types: single corrugated cardboard and double corrugated cardboard.
•In the past, part or even all of kraft paper was made of wood pulp, about 200 to 250g. Waste paper, and the thickness is much thinner than before, usually 120 to 160g, and occasionally 200g paper is used. As for the paper core, it is all recycled waste paper, and its thickness has also been changed from 130 to 160g in the past to 100 to 140g.
•The corrugated of corrugated cardboard is like a connected arched door, juxtaposed with each other in a row, supporting each other, forming a triangular structure with good mechanical strength. It can also bear a certain pressure from the plane, and is elastic and has a good cushioning effect. It can be made into pads or containers of various shapes and sizes according to needs, and it is simpler and faster than plastic cushioning materials. It is less affected by temperature, has good shading properties, does not deteriorate under light, and is generally less affected by humidity, but it is not suitable for long-term use in an environment with high humidity, which will affect its strength
•According to the corrugated size, it is divided into five types: A, B, C, E, and F. The larger the corrugated cardboard pit diameter, the stronger its rigidity. The toughness of the cardboard comes from the core paper layer, without thick and hard fillers, which can reduce the weight of the cardboard and its cost. A-type corrugated and B-type corrugated are generally used as outer packaging boxes for transportation, and beer boxes are generally made of B-shaped corrugated. E corrugated is mostly used as a single-piece packaging box with certain aesthetic requirements and suitable weight content. F-type corrugated and G-shaped corrugated are collectively called micro-corrugated. Disposable packaging containers, or used as packaging boxes for microelectronic products such as digital cameras, portable stereos, and refrigerated goods.
