CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Chinese Application Serial Number 201810146818.2, filed Feb. 12, 2018, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
