The invention discloses a preparation method for a plastic packing box. The preparation method comprises the following steps that 1) polylactic acid, hydrolyzed starch, polyvinyl chloride, kieselguhr,nanometer calcium carbonate, a coupling agent, sodium bicarbonate, borax, calcium stearate and clear water are stirred and mixed for 20-30 minutes, and then the mixture is added into a reaction stilland stirred for 30-35 minutes at the temperature of 50-55 DEG C; 2) after stirring, the mixture is subjected to standing for 10 minutes, then pentaerythritol, epoxidized soybean oil, talcum powder, agar, an anti-aging agent and an auxiliary agent are added and continuously stirred for 30-40 minutes; 3) after stirring, the mixture is subjected to standing for 10 minutes, then the auxiliary agent is heated to 60-65 DEG C, and the mixture is stirred and mixed for 2-2.5 hours; 4) the stirred mixed mixture is taken out and placed in a water groove for cooling shaping, then demolding is conducted,and the environmentally friendly plastic packing box is obtained. The preparation method has the advantages that the packing box is safe and non-toxic, meets the green and environmentally friendly concept and is quite suitable for food packaging, and the method is simple and practical, improves the production rate and reduces cost.
