Future trends in packaging printing

With the development of flexo printing and the improvement of system speed and automation, the application of packaging and printing in food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, medical and other industries will inevitably develop in scale and globalization. However, the trend of people in the food and beverage industry and those engaged in packaging medicine and medicine is still different. Not long ago, the Packaging Manufacturers Institute also conducted a trend survey of 150 printers with a feedback rate of 73.4%. The following discusses the future development trend of packaging printing.

First, the majority of the packaging printing industry packaging industry personnel will choose such an answer in the ten trends forecast: In the coming year, the packaging industry will become the fastest growing industry, the formation of scale and globalization. The survey also showed that the development of packaging markets such as Europe and Japan that have already developed will not be rapid, and the merger of international markets will become the main growth point. There is no doubt that packagers are optimistic about this trend, and they expect that the packaging industry will develop at a rate of 20%.

Another development trend is the speed and automation of packaging and printing systems. The survey shows that the speed of the packaging production line and the development of automated controls have enabled packagers to better produce and operate. Speed ​​and system flexibility will become the main criteria for future selection of packaging and printing equipment. In the area of ​​packaging and printing, on the one hand, packaging companies have been continuously improving the automation of the production line, and at the same time looking for control technologies to increase the efficiency of production lines. On the other hand, the operational flexibility of the packaging equipment means that the equipment can quickly change jobs. Quick change of print has become a job that printers are most eager to achieve.

The third trend in packaging is system integration. Surveys have shown that single-function machines are no longer able to face fierce competition, and integrated systems will achieve multi-functional operations such as filling, encapsulation, and labeling. The design of the unit structure will be developed in these directions.

"Printing World" has been published, packaging and printing will be in the direction of flexible packaging and plastic packaging. In contrast, the printers of the pharmaceutical and medical packaging industry believe that with the emergence of "exquisite" labels, the packaging industry will have a great impact. Surveys have shown that "exquisite" labels will work with scanning technology to prevent or eliminate the occurrence of counterfeiting.
