Change a small bag cutting angle, actually can save so much!

With the diversification of flexible packaging technology and market demand, shaped bags appear more and more in our lives. The traditional process for forming shaped bag bag making machine is to use the system out in the preliminary model shaped bags, and then treated with the punch line punched out shape profiled the necessary follow-up and then trimmed to complete the production of shaped bags, required in this manner specifically one person punching and punching a time only a few bags, punching bags for complex shapes greater inefficiency, if larger orders more punch and manpower required to accomplish large quantities, thus wasting a lot of manpower and material resources.

   Shaped bags for many companies already make use of a bag making machine auxiliary equipment - cutting machine, cutting machine make full use of light, electricity, gas and other automation facilities, comes PLC signals well with bag-making machine Online, to achieve synchronization with the bag machine cutting, well shaped bag making to ensure the accuracy of the line without the need for subsequent processing, and the bag edges smooth curves naturally, and can realize automatic crimping and out of the bag, which greatly improved the shaped bag making efficiency, effectively prevent the line blanking human wave tactics.

   Currently, the die-cutting machine flat cutter prone problem is not durable, manufacturers have put forward innovative solutions round roll cutter, cutter up and down to avoid damage to the punching of the cutter, using a round cutter can effectively roll reduce friction between the cutter and the bag, extend cutter life, it is expected to realize a round roll cutter knife completed more than one million bags of punching, knife and reduce the loss of full production, the maximum yield on the energy savings.

   In addition, to avoid the traditional square-shaped angular plastic bags harm the human body, more and more customers require chamfer bags, which many companies use the latter in packaging on bag machine forming line use Notching machine cut corner treatment, although the line can achieve every corner cut dozens punching bags, but inevitably require human and beveling equipment, especially orders for more business, even Cutaway need dozens and dozens of people were cut angle, but this number does not match with the current trend of saving labor costs. Currently, the most automatic bag making machine comes with dual cutter features, in fact, as long as the flexible packaging business increased slightly change the layout a little flash can be implemented on a punching bag machine use pneumatic chamfer machine bags, then take advantage of dual function bag making machine cutter perfect bag Cutaway detail to achieve perfection Cutaway online, without affecting the speed bag, to achieve human, material savings.

Economic impact of the World Packaging printing industry transformation is imminent

World economic situation is complicated, arduous economic recovery in developed countries, the economic slowdown in emerging market countries. At the same time, the new media era, people reading habits, consumption habits change, overcapacity and rising prices of production factors, product life cycles ...... all kinds of problems and challenges are forcing the printing industry transformation and upgrading.

Economic environment industry trends

According to reports, thanks to the country's economic, cultural market rigid demand, as well as integration of the development of globalization, China's printing industry in the 30 years of reform and opening up has made great progress, the overall scale ranks second worldwide. According to the State Press and Publication Administration of Radio, printed and distributed Secretary Wang Yan Bin, in recent years China's annual imports of printing equipment of approximately $ 2.5 billion, and the Chinese government to implement tariff-free policy, China also provides printing services to many countries around the world. As part of China's economy, providing support services for the Chinese economy China's printing industry, in the recent period, although growth is slowing, but remains running smoothly.

According to the General Administration of printing enterprises in 2014 the annual examination of the statistics, by the end of 2013, China's printing industry output value reached 1.03985 trillion yuan, ranked second in the overall size of the globe, has become the world's printing power. 1.06247 trillion yuan total assets of the industry, total profit 79.62 billion yuan, 83.75 billion yuan of foreign processing trade. From 2012, the growth rate of China's printing industry output fell by a double-digit to single-digit years, an increase of 9.6 percent over the previous year. The growth rate continued to fall in 2013, was 9.3%, but still slightly higher than the growth rate of the national economy.

Compared with China, the situation in Japan and the printing industry is not optimistic. According to Ishibashi, general manager Kunio Japan Federation of Printing Industries of international relations introduced in 2011 Japan's gross domestic product grew 7 percent in 2000, but the indicators of the printing industry has declined. Wherein the number of printing companies dropped by 65%, employment fell by 73%, while shipments fell by 70%. Nippon Printing Technology Association has member companies in 2013 to investigate the results show that, after six years of declining sales of the printing industry grew by 0.1% and finally in 2013, profits grew by 2.6%. Market segments, the Japanese commercial printing sales decline in seven years in a row, but the decrease is easing; publishing and printing sales have declined for nearly 11 years, recurring profit margin was maintained at 1% to 2% lower range.

As the world's largest economy, the printing industry in the European Union presents a huge difference in revenue. Showed a significant downward trend in the European Federation of Xihafude Gros printing Thame EU member states in the introduction of the printing industry as a whole mentioned case, the overall number of EU member states reached 135,000 in printing company after 2007, remaining until 2011 120,000; the number of employees from 95 million in 2001 has been reduced to around 70 million in 2011, followed by a sharp decline in overall turnover - decreased from 2007 to 105 billion euros in 2011 90 billion euros.

"As of June 2014, the Australian printing industry sales of A $ 7.969 billion, a decrease of 2.7% over last year, the industry growth rate is expected to be -4.3% in the next five years, predicted the decline will be reduced to 2.6%." Ryan Executive Director of Indian Industry Group, the Australian Federation of Honorary President of the printing industry, Peter Ryan, said in a statement. According to him, even as sales declined year by year, but the printing industry capital spending is on the rise. Since the acquisition of new equipment and existing equipment parts need updating, as of June 2014, capital expenditures increased from A $ 166 million to A $ 201 million, an increase of 21%.

Digital drive enterprise transformation ideas

Whether Japan, Europe and Australia, the prevalence of the problem is the shrinking of the traditional publishing industry to the upstream of the printing industry has had an impact. "The traditional publishing is facing the impact from the Internet and mobile Internet, resulting in reduced printing plates. In addition, the amount of the bill printing is declining, although helpful for the bill, Direct Mail and other data-processing service ticket printing market growth, but the data Processing Service has been basically saturated. "Ishibashi Kunio representation.

Twelve kinds of paper packaging printing process, how much do you know?

Finishing process paper packaging products are processed fingerprints of its completion. Surface processing in order to enhance the appearance and quality of packaging, mainly film, process are uneven stamping, die-indentation and other processes.

    First, the film

    Film is a transparent plastic film is adhered to the printed surface of the cover by pressing more smooth and shining, graphic color more vivid, but also play a waterproof, stain resistant, can be divided into two surface machining and forming stamping, polishing wax and other processing; forming seed processing technology. Even coated print surface abrasion, folding, resistance to chemical corrosion. However, due to non-degradable plastic film, recycling is difficult, easy to cause pollution. Therefore, in the case of glazing should be used with caution can replace plastic coating process.

    Second, stamping

    Also known as hot stamping printing, is the need stamping patterns or text made convex version, and the help of a certain pressure and temperature, all kinds of aluminum foil printed onto the substrate, showing a strong metal light make products with high-grade texture. And because aluminum has excellent physical and chemical properties, may play a protective role in print. Thus stamping process in modern packaging and printing is widely used.

    Third, polishing wax

    On just painted or sprayed with a colorless, transparent coating on the printed surface, brush goods luster, and surface water played a role in anti-oil packaging. Product shine bright, and play a good barrier effect. So as to form a layer of glossy film, in order to increase the print wax melt wax is applied on the wrapping paper.

    Fourth, uneven imprint

    Bump on the printed surface of the platen is a special technique of decorative processing. It is the use of convex mold, at a certain pressure, so that the print substrate plastic deformation, and then to the printed surface of the artistic process. Embossed graphics and a variety of convex pattern shows different shades of patterns, with a clear sense of relief, increasing the printing of three-dimensional and artistic appeal.

    Five die-indentation

    Also known as pressure die-indentation cut type, buckle knives. Carton packaging and printing needs when cut into a certain shape, can be accomplished by cutting indentation process. Die steel blade is arranged in the mold (or with steel carved into the mold), box, etc., in the cutting machine cut into a certain shape of the sheet rolling process, hollow in the middle part of the principal display panel technology is the use of die-income, become the entire package of personalized decoration. Indentation is the use of steel wire, pushed out by stamping or leave marks on paper for bending groove marks.

    Sixth, bronzing

    Gold, silver, laser gold, bronze gold and other, generally only after a plastic gold foil or silver; a film to have a pair of bit lines; bronzing diverse, but also according to the substrate stamping classification, gold foil paper, hot velvet hot plastic and the like.

    Seven local UV technology

    A silk screen process, performed by local graphic carton surface coating UV varnish to enhance the effect of Indian goods bright.

    Eight, freezing snow

    Freezing snow effect is screen printing ink on paper Gold, silver cardboard, laser cardboard, PVC and other substrates by UV irradiation and UV light cured wrinkle in printing surface of fine sand having flu, feeling delicate effect. Because it exhibits such as a thin snow or ice-like effect in printing surface, commonly known as the industry's "Snow" (large pattern) or "freezing" (small pattern). This process has a pattern of fine, stereoscopic, luxurious and elegant characteristics have been widely used in alcoholic drinks and tobacco boxes, calendars, gift box or other printed materials are visually attractive.

    Nine, reverse scrub

    Reverse grinding process is a new printing process that appears nearly two years, it needs several special base oil or varnish process to complete; it was also called reverse coating process, it would be seen as a partial A new technology of light. The process is in accordance with the normal printing color order printing, the ink is dried or cured completely based on the use of offset connection (or offline) mode on the local area and India do not need to highlight high brightness level of special base oil, base oil to be completely dry before the full version of the way on the entire printed surface is coated with UV varnish. Ink film happened in the region in the polymerization UV coatings and base oil contact form small particulate form matte or frosted matte; in the bottoms of the unprinted region forming high-gloss UV coating mirror. Eventually, the printing surface to form a local high gloss and low gloss matte local area. Two completely different gloss to achieve the effect of a partial image of high contrast, and highlight the graphic embellishment glossy mirror.

    Ten, embossed gold foil

    This process is changed by tipping version show a sense of three-dimensional metal stamping stronger way. Changes by uneven relief pattern, so that graphic showing a metal relief-like texture, so out of gilt graphic plane, bringing a stronger visual impact.

    XI, laser transfer

    Have eye-catching visual effects, can be very effective to improve the packaging grades, the process can be on the surface of a smooth plain paper, printing full version or partial transparent laser effects, and change the past but to use laser printing paper, or paper surface of the composite proprietary laser film in order to demonstrate the effect of laser processing methods, can do flexible laser pattern.

    Twelve, lithography paper

    One technique paper material content is very high, the integration of local embossed holographic laser anti-counterfeiting, vacuum aluminum, paper and plastic composite cutting, cover many advanced digital printing technology, has changed the past situation of a single laser pattern effect, eye-catching paper unique visual effects, coupled with a unique anti-counterfeiting features, not only can not be copied plagiarism, but also for consumers to visually identify the authenticity.

Paper packaging of food and fresh fruits and vegetables most consumers?

An international survey covering seven EU countries show that when consumers buy food and fresh fruit and vegetable products, using paper packaging products more likely to be consumer-emption.

This is named YouGov (in China called geographical concept) survey agency received 7,086 copies of the consumer questionnaire, 4,857 people said that those who put on the shelf, and stored in the containers of food and fresh fruit and vegetable display more likely to stimulate their desire to buy.

Questionnaire also popularity of plastic containers and paper containers were investigated: The results showed that among 4857 people, 68% of consumers prefer paper packaging, but more like 32 per cent of plastic packaging.

Flexible packaging gravure printing industry into a target of public criticism, the future is the abyss or an opportunity?

In recent years, competitive pressures flexible packaging gravure industry is increasing, and the affected upstream and downstream business, flexible packaging gravure survival of enterprises continue to be squeezed. Labor costs continue to rise, frequent movement of staff, homogeneous competition intensified, and greater challenge is the flexible packaging gravure industry must face more and more with environmental protection, safety, health and other related regulations. 2013 and the first half of 2014, the industry leader and part of the backbone enterprises operating income despite the increase, but profits are almost no growth or even negative growth. Many small and medium sized enterprises operating income and profit indicators are both declining, even new replacement equipment load rate is in a serious low level.

In this grim situation, more and more companies have begun to realize flexible packaging gravure, companies must really put in some effort to understand the real needs of the flexible packaging of goods must be the restructuring package, must upgrade in order to have upgrade space. And in the green background, flexible packaging gravure printing business from traditional processors to shift a total solution provider, is the historical opportunity of flexible packaging gravure industry is facing.

Difficulties and opportunities facing the industry of flexible packaging gravure

1. The low-carbon, environmental protection and energy saving

Packaging and printing industry is one of the key industries, air pollution control, the total amount of VOC emissions annually about 600 million tonnes. Flexible packaging gravure industry organic waste gas emissions not only lead to a waste of renewable resources, while also increasing environmental pollution. Over the past year, for the severe haze phenomenon, state and local authorities have issued a number of policies and measures related to environmental protection.

At the same time, some of the international terminal business have also developed a sustainable packaging strategy, packaging materials suppliers in more and more low-carbon requirements. Carbon footprint has become the most popular topic, a number of international customers may require flexible packaging gravure printing company offers carbon dioxide emissions and other data the production of packaging products. At the same time the international carbon footprint, carbon labeling and other systems on the development of the domestic flexible packaging gravure companies formed a huge pressure.

Therefore, low-carbon, environmental protection and energy saving is not the trends and prospects, but flexible packaging gravure companies must face reality.

2. Health safety and health issues

With the social material and spiritual civilization and progress, human pay more attention to food safety, food packaging security controls gradually increase the intensity of the health and functional safety of packaging materials increasingly stringent requirements, protection of the packaging material range has gradually expanded. For example, many customer requirements packaging material suppliers of packaging materials and chemical stability of biological safety certificate issued by the authorities. Now, with the people of flexible packaging safety and health requirements of the rapid increase, promote green packaging, calling for environmentally safe packaging materials and processes has become a strong demand for the entire community.

3. Cost pressure

Flexible packaging gravure enterprise's main raw material of plastic resin, plastic film, ink, adhesives, solvents are all part of petroleum products, prices are rising and has been at a high level.

In recent years, wages flexible packaging gravure printing industry dramatically, rapidly rising labor costs will further reduce the small business flexible packaging gravure living space. 80, 90 has become an important force gravure printing flexible packaging industry, and flexible packaging gravure industry operating environment is relatively poor, relatively low income, high sense of responsibility of the operator requirements, attractive to some young people is relatively Weak, a direct result of the industry key loss disorderly flow of personnel, to the company's human resource management difficult.

The terminal business concentration is increasing, more and more powerful

To enter the Chinese market, multinational companies with strong capital strength and advanced marketing tools, occupied a larger market share. These multinational companies in the flexible packaging supplier of choice also tend to choose its partners in the international market, which is foreign to domestic flexible packaging gravure business opportunities.

With the increasing end-market industry concentration, within the domestic market, food, cosmetic, agricultural and other industries and enterprises mergers and joint are gradually creating a number of large-scale packaging business.

The low profit era, food, medicine, daily chemical industry is highly competitive, in order to reduce costs, enhance product competitiveness, these companies each year end their suppliers continue to lower prices, especially in some large-scale form by bidding requirements, the brand is good The joint ventures, foreign-funded enterprises every year to assess their suppliers for the assessment and make the price dropped to a certain margin requirements on this basis, flexible packaging gravure business if they can not meet their requirements, are likely to face the loss of customers' danger . "

5. The growing competition in the industry

Our flexible packaging gravure market, SMEs accounted for the vast majority, because the product is not high or similar technical, very competitive, business owners tend to put all the focus on reducing costs, while ignoring the health requirements of technological innovation and product.

All these external factors emerging gravure printing flexible packaging will increase the cost burden of enterprises and make profits to a minimum. Flexible packaging gravure printing enterprises are to seek survival and development opportunities, we must take the road of technological innovation, the market opportunity is far greater than the profit profits resulting from a competitive market.

Plastic packaging has been widely optimistic prospects

In the world plastics industry, the largest amount of packaging enterprises, usually accounts for 25% of the total amount of plastic -70% to the plastics industry the most developed States, Japan and Germany, for instance, plastic packaging accounts for 27.2% share of the total consumption of plastics , 32.8% and 27.2%, while China accounted for about 25% of plastic packaging plastics consumption ratios.

    Plastic packaging advantages are: light, soft, less waste, small occupied space, low cost and high cost effectiveness, and therefore more competitive than the rigid packaging, the direction of the plastic material development is to improve performance, reduce costs and environmentally friendly .

    With plastic new varieties, new grades development, processing technology and mechanical improvements to enhance the performance of materials and packaging products, can reduce material consumption and costs, but also with people's demands on the environment.

    According to the European Plastics Manufacturers Association study showed that nearly a decade, the average weight of plastics used in packaging fell 28% reduction in the amount of 1.8 million tons per year, saving resources, including plastic packaging film is most effective, accounting for 70% of savings above, the European packaging materials consumption was 66.4 million tons, of which 11.6 million tons of plastic is 17%, accounting for 50% of packaged goods.

    Therefore we can say, especially plastics plastic packaging is the most effective way to reduce packaging weight, reduce the weight even more than the recovery of a large amount of repeat, the rational use of resources, the role of the maximum.

    Germany "plastic" magazine in the importance of the plastic flexible packaging in food packaging it comes to point out that it has become part of the culture, in addition to the packaging effect, it can prevent damage to the packaging, reduce storage requirements, to consumers provide information more effectively to customer service, so that goods easy home management, and easy to store and transport. This can be represented by the following figures: in developing countries 30% -50% of food in storage and transport damage, while Western European countries currently only 1% -2% of plastic packaging plastic packaging market due to its good overall performance. and low cost, making it one of the fastest growing varieties of packaging.

    It can be seen, the average annual growth rate of plastic packaging consumption in the past and end to all higher than other packaging methods, not only to increase faster than the paper packaging, but also higher than the hard plastic packaging. US data name of the business communications firm plastic packaging industry special report on changing the public provided: total amount of the world's plastic packaging market in 2001 only amounted to 6.31 million tons, the largest amount of food packaging, to 1.68 million tons.

    In short, colorful plastic flexible packaging for its excellent overall performance, continue to replace other packaging, increasing use, reasonable price and benefit the environment and become the fastest-growing products packaging industry, the next few years will continue to maintain good growth.

    To enhance market competitiveness, it will be thin-walled plastic flexible packaging, high-performance direction, multilayer composite membrane demand is growing faster than ordinary single-layer film. The development of new grades and plastics processing technology progress and development of plastic flexible technological progress. Polyethylene films and biaxially oriented polypropylene film applications in coal-ene on the packaging of the most promising.

Packaging materials, "five" or will become the industry a new growth point

1, lightweight packaging materials dominate.

Lightweight packaging materials, namely packaging in meeting the protection and convenience, sales and other functions of the condition, should minimize the amount. Low weight high-strength nano wrapping paper, thin plastic package materials will become the new darling of the market.

2, the packaging materials used securitization.

In recent years, reports of shoddy packaging endless ", pvc cling film carcinogenic storm", "plasticizing agent", "bisphenol A" are all in food safety cause harm to humans. Does not contain bisphenol A polyethylene terephthalate polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, food grade polyethylene plastic biodegradable, edible starch and other plastic packaging materials in food packaging will cut outcrop angle.

3, packaging materials environmental protection.

Unable to environmental degradation has been regarded as the enemy of traditional plastic packaging materials, in recent years, Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, Dell and other world-renowned companies are abandoning the non-degradable plastic packaging materials. The next few years, non-degradable plastic package materials will gradually be replaced by environmentally friendly packaging materials.

Plantic's production of bio-plastic packaging materials decreased, the product composition of 90% corn starch. German BASF launched biodegradable polyester resin can be used for film production. Italian A-MUT's foamed PP sheet extrusion is the latest development of foam products.

4, packaging materials and intelligent.

4.0 With the advent of the industrial era, the development and application of intelligent packaging materials, food packaging development will become a new trend, it has huge market potential. It is expected that future food smart packaging will contain more sophisticated, remote-readable non-visual information. Safety labels and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are at the beginning of an electronic tag, in addition to product identification information, date of production, price, electronic tags can be used as time - temperature, leakage, or freshness indicator.

5, packaging material in the form of novelty, diversification and versatility.

Market competition makes the difference between the products of the same kind to gradually reduce the value of goods gradually increasing the homogeneity of the product packaging showing the effect of sales of foreign dependence is growing.

The market demand for new packaging materials, also showed a significant diversity, richness of features, which are embodied in the type of raw material, the combination of comparative morphology, texture, texture, and each other. Some designers also creative use of deformation, hollow and combination of materials handling to enrich the appearance, giving the material a new image, emphasizing the aesthetic value of materials and design.

On the development trend of food packaging

                                               

                                       Source: Global Network plastics

Japan now produces seven million copies a day and consume cooked food packaging, it is possible to have such a large amount of consumption, the following factors:

(1) Consumers are used to sterilize packaged foods;

(2) continuous refrigeration system is not yet fully developed;

(3) Japanese homes had no place to enlarge refrigerators;

(4) increasing meal outside, mainly in order to save time;

5) For the parts needed to increase rice snack;

(6) People are not accustomed to Western or Chinese cooking;

(7) have a retail store within a short distance, one can purchase a day or two.

Therefore, in the fierce competition of canned food and frozen food, cooking food quickly established their own market.

Japan Canned Food Association in July 1971 changed the constitution, approved by the MAF, make RP-F retort pouches and cans or glass bottles with the products, they are included in their product range.

Japan Canned Food Association and MAF is currently undertaking a collaborative program in order to build RP-F retort pouch specifications and test methods of scientific cooking food. United States Natick lab is currently under way to obtain the results of basic research institute predicted would be helpful, but through cooperation around the world, will further confirm the safety of cooked foods.

The main technical characteristics of flexible packaging is easy to heat and has good heat resistance, high temperature short time in the future seek to adopt a law for a short time by rapidly bactericidal, retention of fresh flavor. Hydrolock digester French invention is most suitable application of high temperature short time high temperature sterilization method. France has worked with Toyo Seikan, we began to use this method.

Due to the development of this technology, the advantages and disadvantages of corrosion filling method of discussion time is getting closer, for cooked frozen food, to maintain its fresh taste and nutritional value, but also can be sterilized with high temperature short time method.

Snack foods will promote the rapid development of plastic packaging industry

As China's economic development and improve the consumer level, people's consumption patterns increasingly diversified leisure. In this era of rapid consumption, fast and convenient snack foods people seems to have become the new darling of daily food consumption. With the gradual growth of the main force of 80,90 for the consumer, snack foods also conform to this development, the rapid growth of total consumption up, which also led to the development of plastic packaging industry.
    From the current pattern of snack food products, China's snack foods can be divided into eight categories, namely, puffed cereals, fried nuts, fried potatoes, fried cereal, non-fried nuts, confectionery class, meat fish, dried fruits and vegetables. In addition to meat, poultry and fish which require cooking and packaging, other types of snack foods are BOPP, BOPET, CPP and aluminized composite. Its main inner layer having a heat-sealing effect for the CPP, PE film; the middle layer barrier effect was better aluminized, etc., the outer layer of the printed better-BOPP, BOPET and so on.
    2014 BOPP, BOPET, CPP price trend, maintain Yindie trend. Up to now, CPP composite film the highest price, the mainstream offer remained at 13,300 yuan / ton; BOPP film thickness mainstream offer in 12,200 yuan / ton; BOPET film mainstream offer in 8400 yuan / ton. BOPET trading range in which larger and start maintaining a large decline in the second half of the space; BOPP and CPP remains relatively stable, but it also reflects the market's lack of seasonal support, maintain its prices Yindie trend. In fact, since the second half of 2010 year downhill trend in the plastic packaging market for film plant, the serious homogenization of competition and contradiction of supply exceeding demand in the various types of film industry is more prominent problem, in terms of packaging for snack foods market face greater adjustment.
    As a kind of snack food consumption beyond the necessities of life in China is still in the development stage, there also exist many problems the development process of China's market leisure. First, China's development of smaller snack foods, snack food sales only total social retail sales of 21 trillion yuan of 2.57%; secondly, many snack food companies, showing small and scattered situation; industry concentration is low. Production and operation of highly fragmented, the top ten companies account for about 30% of market concentration; and third, consumer product safety, health, lack of trust.
    Although the snack food industry in a more difficult stage of development, but also in the plastic packaging industry overcapacity fittest stage, the situation is not optimistic, but from another perspective, China's snack food has not yet reached its peak, or will develop late and packaging to bring a major breakthrough.
    Our country is a large agricultural country, and is closely linked with the agricultural resources in the production of snack foods. Different regions have very different agricultural resources, high industrial concentration, thereby forming a number of unique advantages in resources have snack foods category, leading the development trend of Chinese snack foods. Therefore, the future of the snack food industry will form a large number of excellent snack food companies.

    In recent years, the total amount of food consumption and leisure are double-digit growth every year, higher than the food industry average growth rate of two percent or so. Data show that at present, China's annual per capita consumption of snack foods about 30 grams, the equivalent of only 3200 grams per capita consumption in developed countries of 9.3 ‰, which shows that our convenience snack food has broad room for growth.
