A foam cushion packaging material was developed, in which the medical plant residues fiber was used as the main raw materials and starch / PVA adhesive as matrix, some foaming agent and related auxiliaries was added and hot pressing technology was used. The process and experimental condition to produce the material were determined after a lot of experiments and analysis. The effects of the medical plant residues fiber length, quantity of foaming agent, foaming temperature, and the ratio of starch and PVA on the properties of the cushion material were also investigated.
