How are The Colors of Plastic Boxes Made?

The colors of plastic boxess are typically achieved through the use of color pigments or dyes that are added to the plastic material during the manufacturing process. These colorants can be mixed into the plastic resin pellets prior to the injection molding process, or they can be added directly into the injection molding machine during the production of the boxes.

There are various types of colorants that can be used, including organic and inorganic pigments, as well as dyes. Organic pigments are typically more vibrant and provide a wider range of colors, while inorganic pigments tend to be more stable and have better heat resistance.

The color of the plastic box can also be influenced by the type of plastic material used. For example, certain materials such as polypropylene (PP) tend to have a natural white or translucent color, while high-density polyethylene (HDPE) can range from translucent to opaque depending on its density.

Customize Color

At VE PLASTICS, we offer a wide range of customizable options for plastic boxes, including the ability to choose your own colors. We understand that choosing the right color can be an important factor in your business needs and branding, and we want to make sure that our customers have the flexibility to make the right choice for their specific requirements.

You can provide us with Pantone colors code for custom colors. Our experienced team will then work with you to ensure that your custom color is achieved to your satisfaction. Prior to bulk production, we will send you color chips for your approval. If necessary, we can also make new samples to verify that the color accurately matches your specifications.

We can also make mixed colors for our plastic crates. This means you can choose to have your crates made with two or more different colors, creating a unique and eye-catching look. However, not all the crates can be produced with mixed colors. It’s only available for plastic crates made of two or more molds. For example, for crates with lids, you may choose to make one color for the lid and another for the body.

By offering customizable color options, we aim to provide our customers with the flexibility and customization they need to make their plastic crates stand out and fit seamlessly into their existing branding and logistics processes.
