BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a packaging module and a
package fixture, and in particular, to a packaging module and a
package fixture for an electronic product.
Related Art
[0003] As the technology progresses, various electronic products
emerge. A highly-precise and pretty fragile electronic product,
being extremely prone to be damaged or polluted due to impact of
external environment such as water and dust during delivery, has a
much higher requirement on selection of materials used for
packaging.
[0004] To increase water-proofing and dust-proofing functions of a
conventional electronic product during delivery or display, the
electronic product is usually wrapped by a plastic bag. However,
after being wrapped by a common plastic bag, the surface of the
electronic product usually wrinkles, reducing the value of the
electronic product.
[0005] Some other electronic products are packaged by using a
heat-shrinkable film. However, production of the heat-shrinkable
film is time-consuming, and a position of the heat-shrinkable film
often changes, making it hard to align and increasing the costs of
a packaging process.
[0006] If the electronic product is packaged quickly and an
appearance of the structure of the electronic product is properly
presented to facilitate the selection of a consumer, the value of
the electronic product may be increased and sales of the electronic
product may be increased as well.
