As a trusted manufacturer of high quality Custom EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) cases, we understand that some customers may notice a distinct odor when they first receive their new products.  This is a common issue, and while it may be surprising, we want to assure you that it is completely normal and harmless.  In this guide, we’ll explain why the smell occurs and how you can easily remove it.

 

Why Does My EVA Case Smell?

 

The odor you may notice comes from the off gassing of compounds used during the production of EVA.  These include plasticizers and solvents that provide the material with its flexibility, durability, and shape.  These compounds can sometimes emit a smell when the case is freshly manufactured and packaged.

 

It’s worth noting that some OEM EVA case factories in China may not allow finished goods to air out before packaging, which is why customers overseas might receive products with a stronger scent.  Inexperienced manufacturers may overlook this crucial step, leading to more noticeable odors.

 

The smell from a new EVA case is not toxic.  EVA is a non toxic, environmentally friendly material that is commonly used in various products like packaging, footwear, and protective cases.  While the smell is not harmful, we understand that it can be unpleasant, especially if you’re sensitive to strong odors.  Fortunately, the odor is temporary and will dissipate over time.

 

How to Remove the Smell from Your New EVA Case?

 

To make sure your EVA case is as fresh as possible, here’s the most effective way to eliminate or reduce any lingering odors.  While some people suggest methods like using baking soda or activated charcoal, these are often less effective compared to simply letting the case air out.

 

The easiest and most efficient way to eliminate the odor is to let the case air out.  Place your new case in a well ventilated area for a few days.  Ideally, leave it near a window or in a room with good airflow.  This will allow the off gassing compounds to dissipate naturally.

 

We want to assure you that the smell from a new EVA case is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is not harmful.  By allowing your case to air out in a well ventilated area, you can quickly eliminate the odor and enjoy your new product.  If the smell persists or you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us, we are happy to help!
