Plastic packaging needs "packaging" business opportunities

Plastic packaging is one of the four major materials in the packaging industry: paper and paperboard accounts for 30%, plastic accounts for 25%, metal accounts for 25%, and glass accounts for 15%. Although the plastic packaging industry is now the second packaging material, the plastic packaging industry is developing at a rate of 5% per year, while other packaging materials, including paper and cardboard, metal, glass, pottery, and cotton, are only 2%. With the increase in speed, the plastic packaging industry will eventually overtake paper and cardboard to become the first packaging material.

After more than 20 years of development, China's plastic packaging film industry has formed a certain scale, occupies an important position in the packaging market, and has played a positive role in the national economy.

The level of industry equipment has been continuously improved, and some have reached the advanced level of the developed countries. A number of new products, new technologies, and new materials have emerged; the market demand has grown rapidly, and has been widely used and developed rapidly. There are more than 8,000 plastic packaging materials companies in China, including 2,240 in film manufacturing, 4,300 in silk and rope woven products, 500 in foam plastics, and 679 packing boxes and packaging containers. From the figures of the recent industrial census, in order to surpass the above figures, there are 546 plastics enterprises in Dongguang County, Hebei Province, with a production capacity of 100,000 tons.

Plastic weaving and blow molding, compounding, color printing, plate making and other supporting processes have been developed simultaneously, which has increased the competitiveness in the international market and increased the export volume, effectively occupying the Asian-American market.

Under such business opportunities and advantages, how to make plastic packaging better cater to consumer preferences and habits, bring more convenience to people, and take into account the environmental friendliness, is all plastic packaging companies and presses manufacturing enterprises must face Right and thoughtful questions.

Let us first look at the effect of packaging patterns on people's spending habits. There is evidence that patterns on plastic packaging do have a difference in sales, especially for children.

Researchers at Yale University have determined that, in the eyes of children, food tastes better when it comes from bags printed with interesting patterns such as cartoon bears. According to a survey of about 40 children, the researchers found that when they asked the children to taste the food in various bags (including cartoon images and ordinary and characteristic packaging), the children insisted that they felt that The food in the cartoon bag is better than the one in the regular bag.

This research at least raises an intriguing question about the production and marketing of plastic bags for children's food. Recently, Dole's cartoon food bags have been a very successful example.

In addition, we must also pay attention to the environmental protection of plastic packaging products. With the growing concern for the living environment and the continuous improvement of the environmental quality, we are increasingly inclined to consume green, environmentally friendly, low-carbon packaging products.

Recently, Pro Mach Group won the 2010 Sustainable Green Packaging Solutions Award.

Pro Mach works with several large bottled water companies to provide solutions that make drinking water bottles lighter, thinner, and smaller caps, enabling them to greatly reduce the consumption of packaging materials while maintaining the production line speed.

In addition, Pro Mach is also dedicated to researching the processing of 100% recyclable resins and how to reduce packaging solutions where agricultural products are damaged in transit.
