Development Trend of Corrugated Boxes in China

Development Trend of Corrugated Boxes in China

1. The product is developing towards giving full play to the packaging function

Packaging has seven functions: protecting commodities, beautifying commodities, saving costs, facilitating storage and transportation, facilitating measurement, guiding consumption, and increasing added value. To sum up, there are two categories: one is functionality, which reflects the essence of packaging by implementing the protection of goods; The other is value-added, which promotes the sales of goods. It shows the charm and effect of packaging. In the past, corrugated boxes were mainly used as transport packaging to protect goods and achieve functional purposes. With the development of economy and the improvement of commodity packaging requirements, corrugated boxes should not only play a functional role, but also play a value-added role. Therefore, corrugated boxes are developing from being used solely as transport packaging to being both transport packaging and sales packaging.

2. Trend oriented development of carton machines

Corrugated box technical machines is the foundation and support of corrugated box industry, while cardboard forming equipment is the key machines, which is the symbol of the technical carton machine level of carton production enterprises. Developed countries have already eliminated single machine and single facer, which is the development direction and inevitable trend. Today, the production line is also accelerating the new generation, and gradually developing towards high-speed, wide, low consumption, closed, computer controlled and multi-function. For example,hebei xinguang carton machine manufacture co.,ltd has recently introduced the 1.62m super large full open offset printing machine from German Gaobao Company, with a large paper feed size of 1200 × 1620mm, high printing speed 16000 sheets/h. www.chinacartonmachine.com

3. Gradually implement the centralized and decentralized box making production mode

The centralized board and decentralized box making reflects the division of labor and cooperation in large-scale socialized production, which is conducive to the adjustment and promotion of industrial structure and conforms to the law of survival of the fittest, which is complementary to the advantages of the market economy and common development, and should be gradually implemented. At the same time, we should speed up the construction of the social credit system, actively and properly solve the difficulties and difficulties in the process of cooperation between the two sides, so as to coordinate the development of the corrugated cardboard making enterprises and the box making enterprises.

4. Pay attention to the change of corrugated carton structure

In recent years, the research on corrugated cardboard structure has been strengthened and a breakthrough has been made. First, we developed C-type corrugated cardboard. It became popular in Europe last year, and the market responded enthusiastically. In the past, corrugated paperboard could only be printed on the gravure printing machine. To obtain offset printing effect, the pre printed paper could only be mounted on the exposed cardboard. While C-type corrugated paperboard can be directly printed on the offset printing machine, and it will not reduce or damage the strength of the paper pattern due to the pressure deformation of the pit lines. It can make the packaging design flexible and diverse, and the printing is exquisite. G-type corrugated paper was initially used as a substitute for folding boards, but now it is used as a protection and transportation package for small commodities. The second is to develop F and K corrugated cardboard. F type corrugated cardboard is used as the outer package of commodities or container transport package. Type K is extra large corrugated, which is used for heavy packing. The third is the introduction of high-strength corrugated composite board. The paper board changes the horizontal arrangement structure of the traditional corrugated paper board, and innovatively adopts the vertical compact arrangement structure of the corrugated paper board. It not only has high strength, but also has excellent compression resistance, bending resistance and cushioning performance. It can replace heavy corrugated cardboard, honeycomb cardboard and wood packaging. It is a new environment-friendly packaging material.
