How much do you know about safety shoe packaging?

First, Prevent Deformation

To prevent deformation, you can focus on the material and craftsmanship of the shoe box. Another approach is to modify the paper balls inside the shoes, which can help maintain shape and structure during storage or transportation.

Second, Moisture Protection

One of the most common methods to protect shoes from moisture is using desiccants. There are various types available in the market, such as silica gel, activated carbon, clay, mineral desiccants, biochemical desiccants, and anti-mildew and antibacterial bags (like Ganesi's fourth-generation desiccant). Silica gel is cost-effective but has limited absorption capacity and may not be suitable for large spaces. Activated carbon not only absorbs moisture but also helps with deodorization. Clay and mineral desiccants offer better moisture resistance than standard silica gel, typically about 1.5 times more effective. Biochemical desiccants, which are based on clay and minerals, provide even better performance, up to twice that of regular desiccants. Anti-mildew and antibacterial bags enhance these properties further by offering additional protection against bacteria and odors.

Third, Mold Prevention

Several methods can be used to prevent mold growth in shoes. These include placing desiccants, spraying mold inhibitors, applying anti-mold patches, using mold-resistant wrapping paper, or packaging in mold-proof non-woven bags. Desiccants are widely used but may not be as effective over time, especially in less controlled environments. Mold inhibitors can be very effective if applied properly, but uneven application or improper drying can reduce their effectiveness. Anti-mold patches work best in enclosed spaces and may not be sufficient for larger areas. Mold-resistant wrapping paper is a good alternative to traditional packaging, offering long-lasting protection without the risk of drying out. Similarly, non-woven mold-proof bags serve as an effective replacement for regular packaging, providing similar levels of protection.

Fourth, Stain Resistance

Stains on white shoes can significantly affect both appearance and value. To prevent this, several methods can be employed. One is to process the materials to make them more stain-resistant, though this may increase production costs. Another option is to apply a waterproofing agent to the shoes, which helps prevent stains caused by condensation. Using special wrapping paper or placing the shoes in a non-woven bag can also provide an extra layer of protection against dirt and grime.

Fifth, Odor Control

Shoe odors can come from multiple sources, such as the materials used, glue, rubber, and dyes, as well as microbial activity and the scent of certain anti-mold patches. To combat this, activated carbon, anti-mildew and antibacterial bags, spray deodorizers, and masking agents can all be effective solutions. These products help neutralize unwanted smells and keep shoes fresh.
