The Status and Development Strategy of Paper Packaging Products

Packaging is the link that connects the production, storage, transportation, sales, and use of goods. Packaging is crucial to the product. It bears the function of protecting the goods, facilitating storage, transportation, beautification, and promotion of the goods. The packaging industry started late in China, but with the further development of reform and opening up, the packaging industry has achieved rapid development in a short period of more than 10 years, and its scale has been expanding. At present, there are more than 14,000 packaging industry enterprises in the country, with more than 2.1 million employees, and a total output value of 115 billion yuan for the packaging industry. Calculated at comparable prices, the average rate of increase from 1981 to 1996 reached 17.7%. According to recent market research and statistics, nearly 50% of companies and employees in the packaging and packaging materials industry in China are paper and cardboard manufacturers. With the vigorous promotion of the “green” packaging project during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, paper is used as The packaging media market will have a rapid development. 

First, China's paper packaging market is broad China's packaging industry in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and the 2010 vision for development goals have clearly identified the green packaging as the key, "Ninth Five-Year Plan" during the development of packaging products is the first paper packaging products. It is predicted that the demand for paper packaging products in China will exceed 9.2 million tons in 2000, and the demand in 2010 will exceed 19 million tons. At present, China's annual output is less than 6 million tons, which shows that the market has great potential.
At present, per capita consumption of cardboard and paper, China is 15.5 kg, 45 kg per capita in the world. The difference between corrugated paperboard is even greater. China's current per capita is only 2 square meters per year, while the United States is as high as 100 square meters per year and Japan is also reaching 70 square meters per year. This shows that there is a big gap between China and the economically developed countries. With the deepening of China’s reform and opening up and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, the consumption of paper packaging products in China will continue to expand. The paper packaging market in China is very promising.
There are more and more paper packaging industries. This is due to the global trend of “green packaging” that has caused many industries to abandon the original wood, plastic, pottery, glass, baskets, and other packaging supplies, while using paper packaging, paper packaging. The scope is continuously expanding, and the industries involved are also increasing, not only for daily necessities, fruits, food, clothing, building materials, textiles, chemicals, electrical appliances, instruments, etc., but also for TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, motorcycles and other commodities. Carton packaging; not only packaged dry goods, even beverages, dairy products, etc. have also changed to paper packaging. Therefore, the market for paper packaging is expanding.
According to statistics, China's imported packaging paper and cardboard account for more than 20% of domestic consumption. The imported varieties are mainly used for packaging and decorating, especially high-grade papers produced from wood fiber, such as kraft paperboard for export packaging, kraft box paper, whiteboard and coated whiteboard, and corrugated board. It can be seen that although significant progress has been made in the development of packaging products, namely various containers, the current situation is only basically meeting the needs of low- and mid-range packaging, and there is still a shortage of high-grade packaging containers with excellent performance. Therefore, there is a great market for the development of high-end packaging paper and board.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s recent forecast, by 2000, the world’s paper consumption will increase by 76% from the current level, which will show that in the coming years, paper packaging will continue to maintain its important position in the packaging field.
Second, the advantages of paper packaging 1. Recyclable. Many countries in the world have legislation that requires the recycling of packaging containers for recycling, and the most convenient packaging for recycling is paper packaging.
2. Rich paper resources. Papermaking is one of China's four major inventions. China is home to papermaking. China is rich in wheat straw, rice straw, and reeds, and it is rich in papermaking raw materials. There are more than 5,000 papermaking enterprises in China. In 1995, the output of paper and paperboard reached about 20 million tons, ranking third in the world. Among them, more than 6.1 million tons of packaging paper is used. Since the reform and opening up, China's papermaking output has increased at an average annual rate of 10.3%. This provides a solid material basis for the development of paper packaging.
3. The price is relatively low. Compared with wood, ceramics, glass and plastic packaging products, the cost of paper packaging is low, so the price of paper packaging products is relatively low. It is more in line with China's national conditions and also meets the needs of customers and consumers.
4. It helps to protect the goods. Compared with traditional bamboo baskets, wicker baskets and other packaging, paper packaging products have better sealing performance. In some fruit production areas in China, cardboard boxes are used instead of bamboo baskets and willow baskets are damaged and reduced in loss.
5. It is conducive to publicizing and beautifying the goods. The outer packaging can be printed with advertisements to attract consumers. 6. Paper packaging is lighter and easier to carry than other packages.
Third, the classification of paper packaging 1. Carton series: light, heavy, extra large, functional.
2. Carton Series: General, Health, Gifts, etc.
3. Paper cans, drums series: food, stationery, chemicals.
4. Beverage packaging containers series: juice, milk, liquids, such as paste foods and baked and frozen foods.
5. Composite packaging series: functional, special purpose type.
6. Sealed moisture-proof, antiseptic and fresh-keeping series: heat-sealing type, moisture-proof type, preservative type and other functional types.
Fourth, the trend of market demand for paper packaging 1. The market needs low weight, high strength, green paper packaging "low weight" is conducive to saving resources, reduce costs, "high-strength" can effectively protect the goods, reduce damage, " Greenization can meet environmental requirements.
2. The market needs multi-functionalization The multifunctionality of paper wrapper packaging means that the paper wrapper still has other utilization functions after it completes the packaging mission. This is one of the important ways to solve the packaging waste, and it is also the use of paper packaging materials. Advantages, an important guarantee for the development of paper packaging. For example, many countries and regions currently use adhesive boxes instead of staple boxes.
3. In order to adapt to market diversification and to maintain the need for competitive prices, the paper packaging industry generally adopts high-productivity centralized plate making and disperses the organizational structure of boxes (boxes). In order to adapt to this model, the standardization and serialization of packaging dimensions are also becoming more effective. More and more people pay attention to it.
Fifth, the development strategy of paper packaging products and equipment 1. With the paper packaging products in China has a very large market potential consistent with paper packaging products and equipment also has great room for development.
2. Because there are considerable differences in the economic development levels of various regions in China, the demand for the level of paper and packaging products and equipment varies from place to place. Therefore, each machinery manufacturer should develop different grades of equipment according to its own market position.
3. The development of automatic, high-speed, multi-functional paper packaging equipment such as: speed up to 250 meters / min, wide (width up to 2.5 meters) and more than a single production of corrugated board production line; can be completed automatically paper, mold Cutting, automatic waste scrapping, automatic stacking and output of multi-functional die-cutting machines and high-speed, wide-format circular cylinder die-cutting machines; greatly improved efficiency, and suitable for bulk commodities. 

4. Should pay attention to the introduction of computer control technology With the fierce development of market economy competition, various companies must set higher requirements on the speed of equipment. In order to meet this requirement, computer control technology must be vigorously used, in addition to the realization of electromechanical In addition to integration, computer control must be used especially on the production line. To use computer-aided process control and data processing systems in paper packaging product lines.

There are three main types of computer control functions, process control, data processing, and material handling. For example, for corrugated paperboard and carton production lines, the entire computer system is divided into subsystems for the automation of the storage and retrieval of web materials. 2) Automated wet end of corrugated board production line 3) Automation of corrugated board production line cadre 4) Automation of each conveying system 5) Automation of carton processing equipment 6) Automation of plant management system 7) Automation of overall command management system. At present, computer control is not simply used in equipment and has spread throughout the entire production organization. When the sales department receives the order, it enters the data into the computer system of the factory. The system formulates the base paper plan, the corrugated paperboard production line plan, the plan of the carton department and the shipping plan, etc. These plan information are transmitted from the computer to the corrugated cardboard production line. In each device, the web is automatically retrieved and sent to the wet end of the corrugated cardboard production line. After the paperboard is completed, the computer-controlled automatic conveyor will send the bundles of corrugated cardboard that are automatically stacked at the end of the production line. In the carton processing department, after the carton has been processed, computer instructions inform the freight department. The central computer is fully aware of the instructions of each computer at any time. When some or all faults occur in the system, the entire production can be changed to semi-automatic or manual mode, which has a good adaptability.
