Development of China’s packaging industry

China’s packaging machinery started late. After more than 20 years of development of China’s packaging industry, China’s packaging machinery has become one of the top ten industries in the machinery industry, which provides an effective guarantee for the rapid development of China’s packaging industry. Some packaging machinery has filled the domestic gap and can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Some products are still exported, The export volume of China’s packaging machinery is less than 5% of the total output value, but the import volume is roughly equivalent to the total output value, which is far from that of developed countries.

In terms of production and manufacturing, specialized production has become a trend. International packaging machinery manufacturers attach great importance to the general ability of packaging machinery and the whole packaging system. Some general standard parts are no longer produced by packaging machinery companies, and some special parts are produced by highly specialized manufacturers, while the real packaging machinery companies are assembly plants in a sense.

The problem of China’s packaging machinery manufacturing industry

一、The development Development of China’s packaging industry is lack of macro overall planning.

二、There is a lack of capital investment, and the enterprise’s investment in research and development accounts for less than 1% of the average sales volume.

三、The lack of professional and technical personnel.

The technology gap is mainly reflected in the following aspects

Compared with developed countries, the products of China’s packaging machinery industry have only more than 1300 varieties in terms of product structure, and the supporting quantity is small. There is a lack of high-precision and large-scale products, which can not meet the market demand.The product quality gap is manifested in low product performance, poor stability and reliability, unsightly appearance, rough surface treatment and poor quality of many components. Short service life and low reliability affect the quality of the overall product.From the enterprise situation, the domestic packaging machinery industry lacks leading enterprises, and there are few enterprises with large production scale and high product grade; From the perspective of product development, China is still basically in the testing and imitation stage, with weak self-development ability and lack of pilot base for scientific research and production. Scientific research funds account for only 1% of sales, compared with 8% – 10% abroad.

It is suggested that the product structure should be market-oriented, change the current situation of low-tech content and low-level competition, eliminate a number of low-efficiency, high consumption, low-grade, low added value and labor-intensive products, and strive to develop and produce large complete sets of equipment and high-tech products with high efficiency, low consumption and suitable production and marketing.

In terms of packaging function, industrial and agricultural products should be refined and diversified.The development of China’s packaging industry packaging machinery products should develop in the direction of multi-function and single high-speed. For candy packaging, pillow shaped special-shaped conjoined products are required to complete the packaging of a series of products on a packaging machine.

For some products with low technical content, many packaging machines produced in China can meet the requirements of the American market, and are most likely to make a breakthrough in the short term. However, the machinery made in China can not compete with German, Italian and Japanese products in terms of automatic packers, labeling machines, sealing machines and automatic box gluing machines.
