At present, society is in a stage of comprehensive ecological environment construction. The concept of green environmental protection is increasingly valued by the public. Reducing the use of disposable chopsticks, fast food boxes, plastic bags and other items is precisely the idea advocated by citizens. In the packaging industry, experts believe that carton packaging is a huge "potential stock". Compared with blister packaging, paper box packaging is environmentally friendly. This is because paper materials are easy to degrade and will not cause pollution to the environment, while plastic materials are difficult to degrade and will cause certain pollution to the air and the environment. Therefore, in this aspect, paper box packaging has an advantage.
Experts' research has found that over the past 20 years, in order to meet the needs of modern packaging, the structure of paper box die-cutting plates and their plate-making technology have undergone significant changes. The use of paper box packaging in China has the following six major advantages:
Carton packaging is convenient for mechanized production and the continuous operation of packing and sealing boxes, with high production efficiency and easy realization of packaging standardization. It is lightweight and easy to load, unload and transport, which can avoid or reduce the risk of being dropped or thrown during the process, thereby lowering the damage rate. The usage and circulation costs of carton packaging are low. The price of a three-layer corrugated carton with the same inner diameter is only one third of that of a wooden box, and it can save about 20% of the freight. And converting the goods in one wooden box into two cardboard boxes can also save more than 10% of the freight. Clean and firm, it can be tightly sealed. When the box is lined with plastic, it has good dust-proof and moisture-proof performance, thus effectively protecting the safety of the goods. Cardboard boxes are easy to fold and lay flat. When stacking, they can save warehouse space, are easy to handle, and are also easier to deal with or recycle after use than wooden boxes. It is easy to leave marks of theft of the goods inside the box, so it can effectively prevent the theft of goods. When insuring against water damage and theft or failure to pick up the goods during sea transportation, the insurance company will accept them.
Therefore, experts believe that the carton packaging machinery industry still has huge potential for development. Domestic manufacturing enterprises must actively enhance their technological levels, improve the industry's adaptability to the market through technological innovation, and better meet the demands of production and packaging. The high efficiency of daily production work demands that production machinery have an automatic recognition function. On the one hand, it can automatically identify the thickness, hardness, and rebound force of packaging materials, and feed back the information to the mechanical hand through the computer to adjust the movement range, ensuring no rebound.
On the other hand, various products, such as chocolates or pastries of different shapes, are arranged in a regular pattern when placed in the same box. The products passed on by the production line are disordered. A probe can be used to scan and determine the positions of materials of different shapes, and then feed back to different mechanical hands. It will accurately place the items in the trays at the exact positions and directions, quickly and accurately. Eliminate visual and finger fatigue caused by manual operation.
Carton packaging machinery should have high flexibility and adaptability. The production line allows the size of the packaged items to vary within a certain range of dimensions. Because the product life cycle is much shorter than the service life of the equipment, changing the product and packaging does not require replacing the expensive packaging production line.
The technical level of China's carton packaging machinery, as a whole, is now about 20 years behind that of advanced foreign countries. In the competition in terms of product development, performance, quality, reliability and service, it is at a clear disadvantage. Experts believe that in today's international market, carton packaging machinery products are developing in two polarized directions: multi-functionality and single high-speed. The potential of the carton packaging industry is unlimited.
