Deepening of modern commodity packaging (below)

3 Strengthen packaging printing, expand packaging design, cultivate packaging management, and highlight professional features

The packaging discipline is a comprehensive subject in the interdisciplinary group. It studies the basic theories and methods of protecting commodities, facilitating storage and transportation, and promoting sales. It visualizes, functionalizes, and greenizes packaging design from the point of view of system engineering to solve product protection. The comprehensive problems in the circulation of storage and transportation and sales promotion are the characteristics of the discipline and the source of life.

The packaging engineering profession develops basic packaging theory and basic skills for protection, convenient circulation, and sales promotion, and has the ability to design and manage packaging systems. It can be used in packaging companies, packaging and printing companies, scientific research institutions, foreign trade, commodity inspection, commodity production, circulation, etc. The department is engaged in advanced engineering and technical talents in packaging design, packaging and printing, quality inspection, technology management and scientific research.

Based on the characteristics and development trend of modern packaging industry, China's packaging education should adhere to the guiding ideology of "a thick foundation, characteristics, and training of composite advanced engineering and technical personnel" and actively promote "enhanced packaging and printing, expand packaging design, and cultivate packaging management. "Professional characteristics" of professional construction ideas.

(1) Strengthen the professional direction of packaging and printing

The system learns and masters the characteristics and applications of four major categories of packaging materials, principles and processes of packaging and printing, quality control of packaging printing products, principles and methods of anti-counterfeit printing, principles and methods of packaging technology, packaging quality testing, recycling and disposal of packaging waste. Reuse, packaging management and regulations. In the training program, courses or contents such as printing and packaging materials science, packaging and printing, quality control of printed materials, packaging technology, special printing, anti-counterfeit printing, packaging machinery, packaging process control, packaging testing and experiment should be set up.

(2) expand the direction of packaging design

Systematic learning, mastering the characteristics and applications of four major types of packaging materials, packaging protection principles and methods, packaging design principles and methods, packaging structure and CAD, green packaging design, anti-counterfeiting packaging design theory and methods, packaging management and regulations, packaging quality inspection . In the training plan, courses such as graphic design, packaging sales and psychology, printing and packaging materials, transport packaging, packaging and decoration design, anti-counterfeit packaging, modern advertising design, packaging technology, bar code technology, packaging structure design, packaging CAD, etc. Or content.

(3) Cultivate the direction of packaging management

According to the international research on the framework of packaging disciplines, the modern packaging disciplines include the three branches of packaging social sciences, packaging science and packaging technology sciences, among which the packaging social science system architecture mainly includes packaging management, packaging economics, packaging market Science, Packaging Marketing, Packaging Psychology, Packaging Standardization and Regulation, Packaging Logistics, Packaging Environment, etc. After China's accession to the WTO, the packaging industry has become more urgent for packaging technology professionals who are both familiar with packaging theory and good at packaging management. However, colleges and universities in our country have not yet formed talent training programs that are both familiar with packaging theory and good at packaging management. At present, the packaging department of the College of Printing and Packaging Engineering of Xi'an University of Technology has begun to study the framework of the packaging social disciplines, develop training programs for packaging management personnel, collect, organize, write packaging management, packaging economics, packaging marketing, packaging psychology, packaging Standards and regulations, packaging environment and other curriculum materials.

It is worth noting that optimizing curriculum settings and teaching content, and strengthening the reform and research of professional textbooks and experimental content is one of the important topics in promoting the construction of packaging engineering. For example, the reform and study of professional textbooks and experimental contents such as green packaging, anti-counterfeit packaging, security printing, and bar code technology. The second meeting of the Sub-Committee for Packaging Engineering Professional Education of National Universities in November 2001 clearly stated: "The construction of teaching materials is a basic construction for undergraduate teaching. Packaging engineering is a new profession and has the characteristics of comprehensive cross-cutting. It has a close relationship with the development of science and technology, has a close connection with the requirements of the talent market, and has updated the content of textbooks quickly. This has laid a good foundation for further advancement of professional construction in packaging universities in China.

4 Development of theoretical systems for packaging disciplines

The packaging discipline is a comprehensive subject in the interdisciplinary group. It organically absorbs and integrates new theories, new materials, new technologies, and new processes in different disciplines, and solves product protection, storage, transportation, and sales promotion from the viewpoint of system engineering. The comprehensive problem in the process is exactly the characteristics of the packaging discipline and the source of life. Based on the basic theories and analytical methods of contemporary packaging disciplines, Prof. Song Baofeng elaborated on two major issues concerning packaging that already meet all the conditions of a discipline and that packaging disciplines already embody the characteristics of comprehensive disciplines in an interdisciplinary group. Prof. Pan Songnian also discussed the theoretical system of packaging graduate education and packaging disciplines. Prof. Dechang Dean gave an in-depth explanation of the meaning, scope, purpose, and basic contents of modern packaging dynamics. Professor Wang Zhiwei elaborated on buffer packaging theory, fragility theory, packaging materials, packaging containers and buffer packaging design methods. With regard to the problems of packaging mechanics, the subject system of modern packaging mechanics was preliminarily constructed. With regard to the further development and improvement of the theoretical system of packaging disciplines, the author believes that research on basic theories and applied technologies such as packaging materials science, transportation packaging science and packaging technology should be strengthened.

(1) Packaging Materials

Such as the characteristics and application of packaging materials, new buffer packaging materials, edible packaging materials, biodegradable (photolysis, biodegradation, light / oxygen degradation, water degradation) packaging materials, packaging waste recycling, utilization and processing technology and environmental protection Technology, printability of packaging materials, etc.

(2) Transport Packaging

Such as product damage mechanism, fragility theory, buffer vibration packaging theory and design, mechanical properties of transport packaging containers, structural design, circulation of environmental conditions, assessment methods, buffer packaging CAD.

(3) Packaging Technology

Such as packaging technology, chemical, microbiological and meteorological environmental theoretical basis, chemical protective packaging technology (antirust packaging, vacuum packaging, inflatable packaging), biological protective packaging technology (moldproof packaging, aseptic packaging, pest control packaging), environmental protection Packaging technology (moisture-proof packaging, waterproof packaging) and so on.

5 Concluding remarks

The 21st century is a historic period for the development of economic globalization. It is also a period of great development in packaging education in China. Faced with greater opportunities and more severe challenges, packaging education should be based on the characteristics and development trend of modern packaging industry. The packaging industry provides the fundamental purpose of intellectual resources, actively adjusts and optimizes the curriculum and teaching content, and strives to cultivate complex talents suitable for the development needs of modern packaging industry.
