Hinged

The branches are permanently attached to the trunk. At the connection point, there is a small component, usually metal, that allows the branch to pivot up and down. During assembly, the branches hang down, but they do not automatically “lock” into the correct position—you need to adjust them by hand to set them at the right angle.

Compared with trees with hook-on branches (Hook-On), these trees are quicker to assemble.

PVC

Foliage made of thin, flat strips of plastic, which gives a more artificial appearance compared to PE. It is less durable over time, but due to its construction, it provides a sense of high density, filling empty spaces.
