Paper Packaging Industry Trends

Since its introduction in 1946, the rapid development of electronic computers has become "the most promising tool since the invention of electricity." With the development of computer technology, new technologies such as CAD/CAM, which have emerged after the 1960s, opened up new areas for computer applications. It has become the fastest growing and most noticeable high in engineering technology in the past three decades. technology. At present, this technology has been widely used in the industrial design and manufacturing of various industries in developed countries, and has achieved remarkable results.
The computer technology in our country's paper packaging industry started late in its popularization and application, but it has developed rapidly, and there has been a gratifying situation in the widespread use of computers from product design to production management. Commodity economy presents a full range of challenges for the quality of paper packaging products and the production efficiency of enterprises. Not long ago, China joined WTO, which brought rare development opportunities to China's paper packaging industry and also faced more fierce international competition. The vigorous promotion and application of high technologies such as computers in the field of paper packaging have become an important condition for the sustainable development of the industry. At present, the application of computer technology in the paper packaging industry has the following trends:
1. The level of application of computers continues to increase and the scope of applications has rapidly expanded. With the significant increase in the cost-performance ratio of computers, on the one hand, the speed with which computer technology is popularized and applied is increasing. On the other hand, the level and scope of application are also constantly increasing and expanding. From the structural design of paper packaging products to the manufacture of dieboards, from the creative design of packaging and decoration to prepress processing, from the consultation of technical data to the production management of companies, computers are used to varying degrees.
2. Computer networks bring the paper packaging industry into the information age. The establishment of a packaging website has provided new information channels for the paper packaging industry to capture favorable business opportunities, adjust industrial structure, promote its own products, and respond to fierce competition in the world.
The computer technology used in the field of paper packaging continues to grow towards networking, intelligence, and integration. However, compared with the electromechanical, aerospace and other sectors, its application level is still relatively low, and there is still a big gap compared with developed countries. The current problems are mainly reflected in the following aspects: The importance of many enterprises to information network technology Due to lack of understanding, the networking has not been used so far; the use and development of special software has been neglected, and the hard and software level of the computer has been considered to be very high. The ergonomics and quality are not comparable; some corporate computer applications only stay in the processing of office documents and Drawings and other single functions; insufficient attention to the development and use of higher-level computer integrated technologies. Based on the above reasons, the function of the computer cannot be fully utilized.
In recent years, China's packaging scientific research institutes, colleges and universities and other units to develop the paper packaging industry, developed a number of functional, practical and practical paper packaging CAD software. For example, corrugated carton structural optimization CAD software can complete the carton compressive strength design, structural optimization design, carton containerized transport optimization design, and can also achieve the overall optimization design of the carton structure and container transport, so that the product packaging and packaging The least comprehensive transportation costs. During operation, through the human-machine dialogue, input relevant parameters, and the following output results can be selected: corrugated cartons' ingredient diagram, structural design diagram, product packing arrangement diagram, and container cartographic arrangement diagram. Conversative packaging carton CAD system is a large-scale carton library developed by us. This software can realize the structural design and strength design of 440 commonly used paper boxes. By inputting the necessary parameters through the easy-to-use interface, the stereoscopic drawing, unfolding drawing, and production process sheet of the design paper cassette can be immediately output. For a carton with a complex structure, the molding process can be animated. Using this software to design the carton is not only more than 30 times more efficient than using general-purpose software design, but also has the following special features: (1) When designing carton with special or less common structure, you can click the “free design” option and use the AUTOCAD platform. Design; (2) It can output the data file of the carton for processing the die-cutting board.
The type and level of application software in the paper packaging industry have yet to be further developed and improved. As long as the packaging industry has the dedication of people with lofty ideals, it will be able to develop more application software with more functions and applications.
