With the rapid development of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other industries, as well as the continuous improvement of packaging materials and processing technologies, flexible packaging is playing an increasingly important role in many areas of learning. Flexible packaging has more than other packaging methods, flexible packaging has barrier properties, easy printing, low cost, light weight, impact resistance, transparency, microwave heating, convenience, packaging design choices and other advantages, and safety, health, Convenient and therefore very popular with consumers. With the increasing demand for flexible packaging and the deepening of people's awareness of green packaging for energy saving and environmental protection, the flexible packaging industry has gained tremendous market momentum and promoted the stable development of flexible packaging materials and flexible packaging equipment, thus providing tremendous opportunities for the development of the entire flexible packaging industry.
European and U.S. Industrial Development
The British PCI film consulting company predicts that the average annual growth rate of the processed flexible packaging market in Europe will remain at around 1.5% in the next four years, and sales will reach 10.6 billion euros in 2012. At the same time, Europe is the world's largest producer of packaging machinery and equipment. Germany's production accounts for 22% of the world's total, ranking first, followed by Italy, which accounts for 16% of the world's total. It is the world's most important exporter of packaging equipment.
The gap between China's soft package transfer printing equipment manufacturing industry and foreign similar industries
1, product design and development
The vast majority of packaging machinery manufacturers in China are small and medium-sized enterprises, and basically do not have independent research and development capabilities. Due to insufficient scientific research input, the experimental conditions of the institutes and institutions of higher learning are not perfect, resulting in products on the Chinese market are mainly imitation, mapping or The localization of reforms is a little bit more, and the industry’s main technology depends on foreign countries, and there are few products with independent intellectual property rights.
2. Standardization of equipment components
At present, the production of parts and components for soft packaging and printing equipment manufacturing companies in the world has basically achieved the goals of standardization, serialization, refinement and specialization, and effectively fulfilled the requirements of equipment stability, and telling.
China's domestic production of flexible packaging equipment components is mainly single-machine processing, and the processing environment is rather harsh, seriously affecting the processing quality and precision of parts and components, and the quality inspection methods and testing equipment of components and components are behind and can only produce middle and low grade products. It is difficult to meet the development needs of flexible packaging equipment.
