Plastic flexible packaging can meet the requirements of diversified protection of goods, significantly improve the shelf life of food; simple packaging process, convenient operation and use; has an affinity packaging form; saving packaging costs and transportation costs;
Nowadays, our daily consumption of liquids/semi-liquids, powdered foods, solid foods, etc. are increasingly used in plastic packaging. Relevant data show that in 2008, the plastics flexible packaging market in Southeast Asia's food industry reached a scale of US$1.414 billion and is expected to grow to US$2.023 billion in 2015 with an average annual growth rate of 6.7%. It can be seen that with the increasing use of plastic flexible packaging in the food industry, the future of plastic flexible packaging will become the mainstream of food packaging.
The development trend of plastic flexible packaging film is very obvious. Many companies are accelerating the pace of large-scale production in conjunction with product structure adjustment. On the whole, China's flexible packaging industry has formed its own basic industrial chain. And high value-added products emerge in endlessly.
The green development path of flexible packaging BOPP plastic film is a very important soft packaging material. BOPP plastic film is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and has high tensile strength, impact strength, rigidity, toughness and good translucency. Sex. However, there are also problems such as easy accumulation of static electricity, lack of heat sealability, difficulty in recycling, and easy contamination.
With the rapid development of the modern food industry, plastic flexible packaging has become the main method of food packaging. When soft packaging gradually becomes the protagonist of food packaging materials, when the attention of the entire society to food safety is increasing, the health and safety of plastic flexible packaging is also increasing. The more people become the focus of attention. Among them, the hygienic and safety problems of food soft packaging mainly include monomer toxicity in packaging resin, excessive residual amounts of solvents such as inks, adhesives, and auxiliaries.
The world's flexible packaging materials are expected to grow well in the next few years. In the world plastics industry, the largest amount is used by packaging companies, generally accounting for 25%-70% of the total amount of plastics. The packaging industry is the most developed in the United States, Japan and Germany. Plastics accounted for 27.2%, 32.8% and 27.2% of the total plastic consumption, while plastic packaging in China accounted for about 25% of plastic consumption.
The advantages of plastic flexible packaging are: light weight, softness, low waste, small space occupation, low cost and cost effectiveness (volume and weight per unit weight of packaging), and therefore more competitive than hard packaging. The direction of development of plastic materials is Improve performance, reduce costs and benefit the environment. With the development of new plastic varieties and new grades, processing technology and machinery improvements, the performance of materials and packaging products has been improved. This not only reduces material consumption and costs, but also meets people's requirements for the environment. According to the study report of the European Association of Plastic Manufacturers (APME), the average weight of plastics used for packaging has fallen by 28% over the past ten years, and the amount of use has been reduced by more than 1.8 million tons per year, which has saved resources, among which the plastic packaging film is the most effective and accounts for the savings. More than 70% of Europe's annual packaging material consumption is 66.4 million tons, of which plastic is 11.6 million tons, accounting for 17%, accounting for 50% of the packaged goods, so it can be said that plastics, especially plastics, are the most important to reduce the weight of packaging. In an effective manner, the weight reduction is even greater than the amount of recycled and reused (1.5 million tons per year), which is the most effective for the rational use of resources. German "Plastics" magazine pointed out that the importance of plastic flexible packaging in food packaging, pointed out that it has become part of the culture, in addition to the role of packaging, it can prevent damage to the package, reduce the requirements for custody, to consumers Provide information to serve customers more effectively, make commodities easier for home management, and easy to store and transport. This can be indicated by the following figures: 30%-50% of food in developing countries is damaged during storage and transportation, while developed in Western Europe The country is currently only 1%-2%. The plastic flexible packaging market has become one of the fastest growing varieties in packaging due to its good overall performance and cost performance ratio.
It can be seen that the average annual growth rate of consumption of plastic flexible packaging is higher and higher than other packaging methods, not only faster than paper packaging, but also higher than plastic hard packaging. The data provided by the famous American Business Communications Corporation (BCC) in the special report of “Change Plastics Flexible Packaging Industryâ€: The total volume of the world's plastic flexible packaging market was only 6.31 million tons in 2001. Currently, the largest amount of food is used for food packaging. 1.68 million tons.
In short, the colorful plastic flexible packaging, with its excellent overall performance, has continuously replaced other packaging, and its use has been expanding. It has become the fastest growing product in the packaging industry at a reasonable price and in favor of the environment. It is expected to remain good in the next few years. The momentum of growth. In order to increase market competitiveness, plastic flexible packaging will develop in the direction of thinning and high performance. The demand for multilayer composite films will increase faster than ordinary single-layer films. The new plastic brand development and processing technology advances the technological progress of plastic flexible packaging. The application prospects of polyethylene film and biaxially stretched polypropylene film are most promising.
The output value of the world's flexible packaging materials will reach 231 billion U.S. dollars in 2018. According to the latest report released by the British well-known research and research company Pine, "The 2018 Global Flexible Packaging Market Watch and Watch" shows that the advantages of flexible packaging technology have made great changes in the packaging market, industrial food and Product is no longer only a low-cost option, and flexible packaging has become the object of many consumer products. With their own characteristics, flexible packaging is invading the market for cans, glass and solid plastic bottles as well as packaging boxes. In the next five years, the global flexible packaging market will increase at an annual rate of 3.5%, and it is expected that by 2018 the output value will reach 231 billion US dollars.
In the packaging industry, flexible packaging has become one of the most important packaging forms for shelf sales with brilliant colors, rich functions, and various forms of expression. The progress of the domestic flexible packaging industry has greatly promoted the development of industries such as food and daily chemicals. The development of these industries has in turn further stimulated the demand for the flexible packaging market and enabled the flexible packaging industry to gain huge market momentum. According to an authoritative forecast, in the next five years, the global flexible packaging market will increase at an annual rate of 3.5%, and it is expected that the output value will reach 231 billion US dollars by 2018. As the second largest packaging country in the world, China naturally has to keep pace with this development.
The flexible packaging started in China 20 years ago. The domestic flexible packaging industry has grown from small to large and has developed rapidly, showing a clear trend of group and scale. At present, there are about 400 imported gravure flexible packaging production lines and nearly 1,000 domestically produced high-speed gravure flexible packaging production lines in China's interior. The manufacturing level of these production lines has approached or reached the level of developed countries. At the same time, world-class printing companies are accelerating their development in China by means of absolute control, the establishment of new wholly-owned production companies and holding companies, mergers and acquisitions of Chinese advantageous companies. For example, a few days ago, global packaging giant Amko spent RMB 350 million to acquire Jiangsu Shenda Group's flexible packaging business. As the most promising packaging market, China will naturally attract foreign investment. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for China's flexible packaging color printing companies.
In recent years, China's flexible packaging companies have closely followed the changes in market demand, adjusted their product structure in a timely manner, tilted resources toward benefits, and realized product differentiation and structural diversity. High value-added products emerged in an endless stream, such as BOPP heat shrinkable film, antistatic film, high-definition film, resistance to cooking film, transfer film, high-gloss film, ultra-thin film and synthetic paper, and gradually realized industrialization. BOPPT heat-resistant film, BOPPT online coating film, BOPPT film with nano-materials, and other new products such as imitation glass and bullet-proof glass have become new trends in the development of BOPPT film.
In addition, with the adjustment of market products, the development trend of plastic flexible packaging film is very obvious, the market mechanism for survival of the fittest has already taken shape, and small-scale, poor-quality companies have basically withdrawn from the market. Therefore, many companies are accelerating the pace of large-scale production in conjunction with product mix adjustments. On the whole, China's flexible packaging industry has formed its own basic industrial chain.
The market mechanism for the survival of the fittest and the fittest of the world's flexible packaging materials has taken shape
In recent years, people's living standards have been continuously improved. Most people's attention is focused on the safety of plastic packaging. Statistics show that in China, food packaging accounts for more than 60% of total sales of plastic flexible packaging. With the continuous development of materials and processing technologies, plastic flexible packaging plays an increasingly important role in many fields. At present, the colorization of plastic flexible packaging films has become one of the important trends.
