The Difference Between Pe Christmas Tree And Pvc Christmas Tree

The difference between a PE Christmas tree and a PVC Christmas tree

It's no secret that the use of PVC for Christmas trees has been standard for decades. So far, most artificial Christmas trees on the market are made using only PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

Colorful compressed PVC sheets are used to create realistic three needles by cutting the material into flat rectangular shapes and twisting between two wires to act as branches. While artificial PVC trees look relatively realistic from a distance, they are known for looking very fake when viewed up close due to the rectangular nature of the needles. Having said that, they are still a very popular alternative to real Christmas trees because they are so cheap.

On the other hand, PE (polyethylene) trees are now considered the only material capable of replicating the look of a real Christmas tree.

Unlike PVC Christmas trees which are made using cut PVC material, PE trees are injection molded and fully 3-dimensional using the branches of real trees, resulting in an instant realistic Christmas tree. Therefore, 3D needles are more realistic than regular flat PVC needles. In other words, the more PE you have, the more realistic your tree will be!

However, due to the apparent quality of PE Christmas trees, they are considered a little more expensive than regular PVC trees, which is why PVC trees are still so popular today.

Combine PE and PPC for a budget-friendly, realistic tree Some artificial Christmas trees combine PE and PVC materials. PE is used on the treetops to create a realistic look, while PVC is used as filler to give the tree a thick and full appearance. In this way, consumers can benefit from a lifelike Christmas tree without worrying about the cost.
