Intelligent packaging to open the door of food safety

With advances in technology, intelligence has become a blue ocean market development. As a sunrise industry, as long as the industry and smart detached have gained tremendous benefits. 4.0 With the advent of the industrial concept, food packaging is also gradually toward high-end, smart packaging began to enter people's vision, to say the smart packaging in which intelligent, most relating to food safety issues is, smart packaging can detect the quality of food, or authenticity, to protect the rights of consumers to the maximum extent, and product traceability function.

These special performance package just to meet the special requirements of goods and special environmental conditions, mainly refers to the use of the mechanical, electrical, electronic and chemical properties of packaging technology. Smart packaging market continues to expand at present, the domestic food safety situation is very grim, and has been to the extent imminent, so we urgent need to improve the intelligence from the packaging, to maximize the use of various means to ensure food safety. The intelligent packaging is of strong measures to ensure food safety, but also to be developed.

Smart packaging in developed countries has gained enough attention and development, while at home, smart packaging development and applications in various fields is still in its infancy. But he also pointed out that from another perspective, although our smart packaging applications are still lagging behind the developed countries, but our smart packaging market have broad margins wait mining.

To meet the delivery requirements and the need to reduce the cost of circulation process, the future of food packaging machinery requires the ability to perform high-speed production, while some products also require packaging machinery and production machinery of convergence, but also the use of continuous work or long work. Also, you must reduce the rejection rate and failure rate, so that normal productivity can be improved, the trend is to make packaging machinery further automation.

Usually only foreign temperature - time history identification (TTI), is the breeding of microorganisms in food packaging instruction marks (MGI), photochromic indicating identification, identification by the physical impact, leakage, microbial contamination identification, radio frequency tags (RFID) , DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is defined as smart packaging labels; and the modified atmosphere packaging, antimicrobial packaging, ethylene adsorption packaging, oxygen packaging, self-heating / self-cooling packaging, odor adsorption packaging, fragrance release packaging, moisture packaging is defined as a function of the packaging.

Paper packaging advantages are obvious into mainstream food packaging

Data show: plastic used in food packaging plastics accounted for 1/4 of the total output, it can be said that the plastic used in food packaging appeared, there is waste generated. In supermarkets and shopping malls, many food packaging are made of plastic. Puffed food plastic inflatable packaging can be moisture, oxidation, protect flavor, blocking sunlight and prevent squeezed, but so much is packed in a tremendous waste of resources; and instant noodle packaging, plastic packaging is much more than paper bowl (or bucket) packaging, on the market or bottled bowl of instant noodles sales price is generally higher than with the quality of the sales price of 1/3 bags of instant noodles, but because of this convenience food packaging, especially when traveling, direct red after opening the hot water can be eaten, do not take other packing containers, so popular with consumers.

With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, consumers eliminate backward package is necessary. Improvement of plastic materials is imperative. Food market segments, you can try paper packaging paper, plastic waste and reduce environmental pollution, which is to the benefit of future generations.

Paper and packaging industry need to upgrade innovation

From the international market, to this year, global demand for corrugated boxes will be an annual growth rate of 3.4 percent up to 213 billion square meters. Moreover, where a large part of the growth will come from China, the global packaging is to usher in a "China era." However, the packaging industry is also facing many challenges, explore innovative models become inevitable. Reduce the environmental impact of packaging, increase the flexibility of the packaging process, improve packaging automation, improved ease of use packaging, improve packaging of integrated service package to multifunction and single polarization direction, these will become an important future direction of development corrugated packaging industry.

First, the transformation of innovation

The current companies are looking to transition through the packaging innovation, turn thinking, transfer method, transfer operations, turn the result. Maximizing process comprehensively promote the whole industry's packaging technology advances, leading the new trend of China's packaging, realize the value chain, the China Packaging a variety of ways to show to the world. One is looking for gaps in the industry, namely packaging waste recycling, reuse, such as the shared system tray; the second is to occupy the commanding heights of industry, namely the development and manufacture of low-carbon green packaging materials, such as foam stone paper; third is to Get industry commanding point, namely packaging services, such as integrated systems design, development, testing, certification, training and other services, to create high service platform packaging; Fourth, to promote innovation and technological progress packaging technology appliance industry. Transition way corrugated packaging industry are: from high emissions, high energy to low-emission, low-carbon transition; three functional packaging transition to international; packaging services to packaging integrated solutions transformation.

Second, management innovation

Packaging should focus on quality management and innovative ways to achieve customer satisfaction oriented. Study and implementation of advanced process control methods to manage the quality of the production process as soon as possible, and continuously improve product quality, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Customer demand for the center, the customer's needs into technical specifications for each stage of product development design, with the lowest cost, to achieve maximum customer satisfaction. A package quality problems usually lead to a number of quality cost factors. Quality cost analysis to do is to find out the relationship between quality and costs associated cost factors between the quality and packaging, and then determine the order and the specific response measures to eliminate quality problems.

Needless to say, the concept of reasonable package is to make the level of protection packaging, product affordability and logistics environment fit. In fact, most of the products are not required to ensure one hundred percent intact rate during transport, taking into account the relationship between performance and cost of protection is needed is a modest breakage rate. Moderate grasp this is a very difficult job. This job requires us to consider two questions: How technology to achieve, achieve cost is reasonable.

Third, the "green" innovation

The global economy and the industrial system is the rise in packaging revolution as a precursor of zero packaging, simplified packaging, green packaging conceived and implemented, green products and green packaging will become the new hot spot. The packaging industry should not only be concerned about the quality, performance and cost of packaging products, but also to be concerned about the environmental impact of packaging products and resource consumption. So, the only option for green packaging is the packaging industry sustainable development is only developing.

The rapid development of China's food industry, the paper packaging provides a broad space for development. The global appeal of the environment green packaging, paper packaging will usher in greater opportunities, green packaging will become the main trend of the future development of bakery products packaging industry, paper and wood, paper and plastic, paper and glass, paper and on behalf of the metal, it has become the consensus of sustainable development. Paper packaging has a more natural renewable raw materials and environmentally friendly recycling, full of development potential.
