Packaging materials and packaging market development

With the rapid spread of scientific and technological information and the continuous emergence of high-tech and new and superior materials, packaging is moving in the direction of “quality assurance” and “innovative design”.
In Asia, Japan, South Korea, China, Indonesia and other countries are actively developing packaging materials. Japan actively researches packaging design and ranks first in Asia in terms of technology and level. Japanese companies invest 10% of the retail price of the product in packaging, which is higher than in other Asian countries. Therefore, the packaging of Japanese products is the most beautiful in the world.
Europe and the United States attach great importance to packaging must comply with environmental protection requirements, while focusing on packaging technology innovation. In recent years, Germany and the United States have achieved the most remarkable results. China's color printing box packaging and color printing plastic flexible packaging is the main body of light packaging. The major markets are food, beverages, household chemicals, medicine, clothing, toys, and audio. China's traditional concept of "food for the people" and the stability of the two consumer groups, the children and the elderly, have great potential for the food packaging market. The food industry in China has maintained a sustained, rapid and healthy development momentum in recent years. The total output value continues to rank first in all sectors of the national economy and plays an important role in the national economy. According to statistics, between 1993 and 1998, the output value of the food industry increased from 342.86 billion yuan to 590 billion yuan (calculated as 1990 down-prices), with an average annual increase of 11.6%.
Packaging has become a reflection of the company's image. It is the guarantee of product quality. It is a direct means of occupying the market.
With the development of the food industry, the requirements for food packaging will become increasingly stringent. Traditional color printing plastic flexible packaging production process and the use of raw materials, will be people's attention and raise objections. For example, BOPP has been used as a surface material, can print a variety of color graphics, CPP, PE, PET, etc. as the lining material, composite bag after the bridge dry compound machine. The food packaging bags manufactured by this composite process cannot completely dry the printing oil and organic solvents. The solution-type glue liquids are deteriorated in the middle and slowly and continuously diffuse outwards to form harmful substances that transfer pollution to the outside of the goods. .
Hong Kong and Taiwanese packaging companies have realized that in order to gain a firm foothold in the market, they must give top priority to protecting the environment, protecting their products and protecting consumers' health. people oriented. Increase investment in science and technology capital, further improve product quality, use novel and unique packaging materials and methods, and closely follow the development of modern packaging industry. VMCPP material has been gradually used: VMCPP material contains a thin layer of hinged aluminum, compared with BOPP, CPP, vMCPP air permeability is low.
VMCPP packaging material is more suitable for the vast country of our country. Because of the thousands of kilometers away from the north and south of China. Sub-cold zone, temperate zone, subtropical zone, tropical climate zone. Temperature difference, humidity difference, pressure difference are relatively large. The issue of moisture protection during transportation is very important. The loss caused by the defect of packaging materials (regardless of their chemical transfer factors) caused by the shortened shelf life of the products is extremely serious. The use of this material ensures that the fresh product does not deteriorate within 9 months.
European packaging materials have used polyethylene (PE)/titanium (TK)/EvOH/titanium (Ti6)/polyethylene (PE) five-layer coextruded materials to replace conventional multi-layer composites. In addition to good performance, this new material does not require any compounding and laminating processes, which saves costs and meets environmental requirements.
