Why is paper packaging becoming the mainstream of food packaging

We can't live without all kinds of packaging, especially in the food industry. For food, packaging is not only a container, but also plays a role in preserving quality. Food industry packaging materials are widely used paper packaging, plastic packaging, metal packaging and glass packaging and so on. In addition to going out in a bottle, most snack foods are either wrapped in paper or plastic. But plastic packaging does not degrade easily and produces waste

In various packaging exhibitions, such as packaging expo, packaging printing exhibition, packaging products exhibition, more and more paper packaging into the eyes of people.

Food paper packaging has obvious advantages

Data shows that the amount of plastic used in food packaging accounts for 1/4 of the total production of plastic. It can be said that as soon as the plastic used in food packaging appears, there will be waste. In supermarkets and shopping malls, many food packages are made of plastic. Inflatable plastic packaging of puffed food can be moisture-proof, anti-oxidation, fragrance protection, block sunlight, prevent extrusion, but so big packaging is a big waste of resources; The plastic packaging of instant noodles is much more than that of paper bowls (or buckets). The sales price of bowl or bucket instant noodles in the market is generally 1/3 higher than that of bag instant noodles with the same quality. However, this packaging is very popular among consumers because it is convenient to eat, especially when traveling, you can directly wash hot water after opening the lid, and do not need to bring other containers.

With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, it is necessary for consumers to eliminate backward packaging. Improvements in plastic materials are also a priority. The food in the market segment can be wrapped in paper as far as possible to reduce the waste of plastic and environmental pollution, which is also for the benefit of future generations.

Paper packaging industry upgrading needs innovation

From the market point of view, to this year, the demand for corrugated boxes will rise to 213 billion square meters with an annual growth rate of 3.4%. And much of that growth will come from China, where packaging is embracing a "Chinese era". However, packaging industry is also facing many challenges, it is inevitable to explore innovative mode. Reduce the impact of packaging on the environment, increase the flexibility of the packaging process, improve the degree of automation of packaging, improve the convenience of use of packaging, improve the integrated service level of packaging, packaging to multi-function and single polarization direction, these will become the important development direction of the corrugated box packaging industry in the future.
