The current situation and future development of corrugated box industry

Third, the development direction of corrugated box industry
1, the product to fully develop the packaging function of the direction of development
As we all know, packaging has seven functions: protecting commodities, beautifying them, saving costs, facilitating storage and transportation, facilitating measurement, guiding consumption, and increasing added value. Summarized is two major categories, one is functional, the implementation of the protection of goods, it reflects the nature of the packaging; the other is the value-added, promote the sale of goods, it shows the charm and effectiveness of packaging. In the past, corrugated cartons were mainly used as transport packages to protect goods and achieve functional goals. With the development of economy, the improvement of packaging requirements for goods, corrugated boxes must not only play a functional role of protection of goods, cost savings, ease of storage and transportation, conducive to measurement, but also to play a role in beautifying goods, guiding consumption, and increasing the added value. The role requires that it show the charm and effect of the packaging. Promote the sale of goods. Therefore, at present, corrugated cartons are being used as transportation packaging in the past and will be both for transport packaging and sales packaging in the future. The combination of the two will develop in the direction of greater flexibility, wider use, and continue to meet the needs of commodity packaging. Very desirable packaging products.

2, production equipment to the development of high-grade
Science and technology are the primary productive forces. The development of the corrugated box industry depends on the development of the national economy, and also on the progress of science and technology. It depends to a large extent on the improvement of the level of technological equipment. Corrugated box technology and equipment are the foundation and support of the corrugated paper box industry. Cardboard forming equipment is the key equipment and is the sign of the technical equipment level of the carton manufacturing enterprises. The developed countries eliminated both stand-alone machines and single-sided machines as early as their production operations. First, there were many processes and labor intensity; second, small-scale production and low output; and third, they could not guarantee quality, which would inevitably lead to low efficiency. Replaced by the production line, this is the development direction and inevitable trend. Nowadays, the production line is also accelerating its upgrading, upgrading files, and developing in the direction of high speed, high efficiency, wide width, low consumption, no pollution, computer control, and multi-function. Nowadays, the printing slotting machine that belongs to the downstream process has become a key equipment. It plays a crucial role in the promotional value-added functions of the carton. It must have excellent technical performance, towards high-grade, fast, multi-colored, wide-width, self-controlled. The direction of development.

3, the production mode is gradually implemented centralized system decentralized box
From the beginning of the corrugated box industry to the production line, the production model of centralized manufacturing and decentralized manufacturing has been born. After more than 10 years of production practice and theoretical exploration, the industry has basically formed a relatively unanimous opinion that the centralized system of decentralized manufacturing and boxing reflects the specialization and cooperation of socialized large-scale production and is conducive to industrial restructuring and upgrading, in line with the advantages of market economy The law of complementarity, common development and survival of the fittest must be implemented gradually. At the same time, we must speed up the construction of the social credit system, must abide by the contract and re-credit, and actively and properly handle and resolve the difficulties and problems in the process of cooperation between the two sides, so that the non-plate companies and the box-making enterprises can be more harmonious and harmonious, so that the rest of the system board The production mode of decentralized box manufacturing has become increasingly sophisticated and mature, which has continuously promoted the development of the industry.

4, corrugated board structure focuses on development and innovation
The corrugated paper box industry has a history of more than 100 years. Products, processes, technologies, and equipment are all mature, but they are not immutable. In recent years, research and development of corrugated paperboard structures at home and abroad have been strengthened, pioneering and innovative, and there have been breakthroughs.

The first was the development of G-type corrugated cardboard. Last year Europe became popular and the market responded enthusiastically. Since corrugated cardboard can only be printed on a gravure printing press, to obtain the offset printing effect, only the preprinted tissue paper can be attached to the exposed cardboard. The G-type corrugated board can be directly printed on the offset press, and it will not reduce or destroy the strength of the cardboard when the dents are pressed and deformed, so that the packaging design can be flexible and the printing can be exquisite. G-type corrugated cardboard was originally used as a substitute for folded cardboard and is now used for the protection and transportation of small goods.

The second is the development of F-type and K-type corrugated cardboard. Foreign F-type corrugated cardboard is used for outer packaging or container transportation; K-type is a large corrugated, used for heavy-duty packaging.

The third is the innovation of "high-strength corrugated paper composite board." Recently, Wenzhou Zhongshen Board Industry Co., Ltd. has developed a "high-strength corrugated paper composite board." The chairman and general manager of this company were all engaged in the apparel industry, but they did not fear the hardships and difficulties of “interspersed as if separated by mountains” and decided to put people’s packaging into the packaging of goods. They invested financial, human, material resources, and developed new types of corrugated cardboard. product. The new product draws on the shape of the honeycomb core paper arrangement structure and changes the structure of the traditional corrugated paper vertical compact thermal power plant. It has high strength, excellent compressive strength, bending resistance and cushioning properties and can replace heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, honeycomb paperboard and wood board packaging. Is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging materials. The production equipment of this product is not large, the production process is relatively simple, and the production cost is not high, which is more in line with the development direction of the development of new products by small and medium cardboard boxes. The product has passed the appraisal of new products presided over by the Wenzhou Science and Technology Bureau, and it has now been promoted and used with good results.

5. Asia's corrugated paper box industry is shifting to China
Recently, Mr. Liao Baohao, president of the Asia Regional Corrugated Box Association, pointed out that China will become the heart and leader of corrugated cartons production and sales in Asia.

According to President Liao, China's carton sales are growing rapidly, which contrasts sharply with sales in other regions of Asia and the rest of the world. Asia, South Korea, Singapore and other places have seen negative growth. Although China's carton lock volume was approximately 8 billion square meters in 1996, which is only half of Japan's sales, its sales volume in 2000 increased to 12.5 billion square meters. It is estimated that from 2002 to 2008, China's carton sales will increase by another 35% to 20 billion square meters, while Japan will only maintain 13.5 billion square meters.

In all continents of the world, corrugated cartons currently rank first in sales in North America, second in Europe, and third in Asia, about 40 billion square meters. In the next six or seven years, the rapid development of China's economy in Asia will drive and promote Asia's sales of corrugated boxes to surpass North America and rank first in the world.
