Flexible packaging market welcomed by four important factors

1, transport facilitation: flexible is lightweight, making it both at home and overseas markets in the distribution process is more economical. For expensive and compact product is the most suitable.

2, reduce waste: flexible plastic material used in a lot less than the rigid container packaging, this method reduces the unnecessary waste, is an economical choice.

More importantly, the new methods and techniques to broaden the choice of people in the life of flexible packaging. For example, experts have found a way to promote the decomposition of flexible plastic. In landfills, an additive is added to the packaging material, in 18 months of microorganisms inside the package will be changed. Packing after being decomposed into water and carbon, their impact on the environment is less than traditional rigid packaging.

3 and attractive: flexible packaging more attractive to consumers, because it has a strong appeal on the shelf, often played a compelling billboard effect. For example, a stand-up pouch would be immediately subject to the concerns of consumers.

4, protection products: flexible packaging material can usually be used to block harmful ultraviolet rays, water, grease, pollution and oxygen emitted by the sun.

Aluminum foil has a particularly high oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (MVTR), the need to resist the harmful elements provide functional products more powerful package.

Five factors driving the development of China's market of flexible packaging

For decades, China's packaging industry output value of more than quadrupled, increased from 2002 to more than 2500 yuan to 2013 of more than 14,000 yuan, after the United States became the world's second largest packaging country. Packaging industry maintained a momentum of stable development, has opened up a new situation in innovative adjustment. Recently, the global market research firm Smithers Piper Solutia Inc. recently released a survey report on the flexible packaging market in 2015 made a forecast of the five driving force.

Flexible packaging is an important part of the packaging industry, but also shoulder the task of technological innovation. Flexible packaging industry currently remains one of the fastest growing fields. According to Smithers Piper Connaught's latest statistics it shows that the consumption of flexible packaging global market rate of 3.5% per year to maintain growth over the next five years, and will reach $ 231 billion in 2018 (203.7 billion euros ʱ?? Technological innovation is the core areas to maintain high growth momentum.

Although flexible without their own shape, but with the continuous expansion of its range of applications, it has become a member of the family package, and in fact, its shape can change with product and change.

Expand the range of applications of flexible packaging is driven by the five main factors, these five factors also determine the future of flexible packaging in multiple markets growth. They are: bio-packaging, barrier films, bags, printing and design and intelligent packaging.

Biological packaging

In recent years, degradable plastics, research and development of biological materials, greatly promoted the development of the global packaging industry, has become quite popular packers choice. However, the speed of degradation in the soil of its existence slowly degradable plastics can not be recycled in a timely manner; can not be completely degraded, there will be stains on visual applications such drawbacks, its application prospects appeared limitations. Thus, the natural biological packing material with complete environmental advantages, the packaging material of choice for the future.

In the food industry, packaging bags is perhaps the greatest source of pollution. With the advancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, as well as science and technology, natural biological packing material with a completely environmentally friendly advantages, it has become one of the most developed packaging materials present potential. Future, natural biological packaging materials will continue to support improvement and innovation in science and technology, the immature gradually improve, or will occupy a considerable market share in the packaging industry.

Barrier films

All along, food safety is a common topic of concern to people, and to ensure the quality of food in terms of packaging materials play an extremely important role. For example, the use of high barrier films for food packaging, extend frozen food, such as meat, cheese, fish and milk and nuts and other non-frozen food shelf life.

According to market research report high barrier film industry, the global high barrier packaging film market is growing rapidly, in 2014 sales of about 1.76 million tons, with sales of $ 15.9 billion. The next 5 years, the global high barrier packaging film market will continue to maintain steady growth, the average annual compound growth rate will remain at 5.0%, 2019 sales expected to reach 2.24 million tons, sales of more than 20 billion US dollars.

High barrier packaging films mainly used in flexible packaging six major categories: plastic bags, stand-up pouches (including cooking and non-cooking type), lidding and forming the base, wrap film, blister packaging substrate. Among them, the plastic bag is the most important category, accounting for more than 50% of 2014 global sales of high barrier packaging film; lidding and forming the substrate ranked No. 2. The next 5 years, stand-up pouches will become the fastest growing category, lidding and forming the base of the growth rate will exceed the market average.

Bags

Bags for packaging various articles refers bag for easy transport of goods in the production and distribution process, easy to store. With economic development and people's living standards improve, the demand for commodities is increasing bags, merchandise bags claim to more and more use of the bags value requirements are also increased. The current value of the rapid growth of the packaging industry, highlighting the packaging industry great prospects for development.

China is the world's largest fruit and vegetable production and marketing of a large country, but there are about 30% of the fruit in the storage, transportation and sales process loss, improper packaging which is an important reason, in a highly competitive market conditions, the role of packaging becomes more and more important. As well as to expand the production scale of bags in the market rapidly expanding China and other developing countries, the rising market demand presents complementary trend. The report shows that by 2018, the Asia-Pacific region is expected income is the highest. Among them, food packaging (especially beverage packaging) and pharmaceutical packaging will be the two main growth poles.

Today bags no longer a simple product, businesses and consumers on the quality of bag, material, quality and style are increasing. In North America and Western Europe plastic bag usage is already high, change the product mix will continue to support the continued growth in demand in these regions bags.

Printing and Design

Packaging & Printing are inseparable, between the two are interdependent relationship, a good package in addition to printing also requires careful design, the design is the soul of packaging, packaging design success of a product or not, directly targeted product quality , unique packaging design. Among the package, you can highlight how many brands from the company's products and brand, which is unique from the packaging design. The unique design, you can use a unique color, different from other products with eye-catching colors and products meet; on the packaging of shape, and now many are based on common packaging design packaging design, packaging styles lack of innovation We can not attract consumers.

Packaging designed to look like just the packaging of products, in fact, it also shows the problem of corporate culture, brand image aspects. Packaging of quality in the eyes of consumers, many times, reflects the quality of the product, the packaging also reflects the brand's creative ideas. Product packaging is actually pretty big role, not only to show the brand image or product sales booster. Enterprises should pay attention to product packaging design, to create a company with a culture, in line with the brand image, but with distinct characteristics of the packaging.

Intelligent Packaging

The so-called smart packaging, that is, in the conventional packaging technology, adding more relevant information and can use the advanced smart phones, the Internet, things to be read, so that the package has more information capacity; enable consumers You can learn more information about the product when purchasing through product packaging, so as to achieve the purpose of further facilitate the consumers to buy.

For example, people in the supermarket to buy small packages of food, the front can be displayed on the packaging of food names, the main ingredients, date of manufacture, shelf life, etc. must be public information. But the use of smart packaging, since it is possible to double the capacity to provide information, producers can produce information on the main raw material, food processing information, food use precautions and friendship reminders are stored in an intelligent manner on the packaging or on the Internet and read by smartphones.

Smart packaging is a broad definition, which includes a variety of internal information about this product, more than only on a small package foods for example. Because of smart packaging in the packaging of information capacity is multiplied expansion, the consumer is concerned, to obtain a more transparent product information and increase greater selection of room; the producer is concerned, is undoubtedly smart packaging provides a Consumer high-capacity platform to meet directly. Meanwhile, smart packaging in commodity security technology will also receive a qualitative breakthrough. The rapid development of the Internet of Things and logistics industry, smart packaging will flourish.

to sum up:

Faced with growing competitive pressures, flexible packaging production enterprises must improve technology, processes and designed to ensure that consumers are able to distinguish their products on the shelf. According to Smithers Peale Institute survey, printing and packaging companies need to continue investment in new printing technologies to provide richer colors and excellent after printing process, will better enhance their own competitiveness. In the large market environment, China will continue to enhance and liberate themselves in the printing industry, this road, for the packaging industry has opened wider world.

Plastic food packaging recycling is not difficult

Sometimes, sustainable plastic food bags and environment-friendly packaging materials not relations, but with how we handle the product concerned. For example, the bottled water industry has been a lot of criticism, when people drink water that perfectly clean and sealed, resulting in a lot of unnecessary waste bottle. However, some communities and universities are working hard, through the establishment of refills site, reduce waste of plastic water bottles. People no longer need to buy bottles from the vending machines, you can take the empty bottles, filled with water free. This is a good start, but part of the problem of plastic food bags.

Typically, disposable packaging in retail stores now is the most common. From water bottles to drink to personal care products, cosmetics and cleaning products are disposable packaging, and then it is discarded. We hope that some of the package will be re-used, although we also know that recovery is a challenge for consumers. But repopulate the site if we take this idea and apply it to other liquid products, there will be how kind of consequences?

In the past, beverage companies and other liquid products manufacturers the use of glass packaging, may be re-used in the earliest forms of packaging. The reason is that you have to put your empty milk bottles on the door, the milkman will be recovered tomorrow morning! Glass is very durable, easy to clean, and constantly refilled, and when the time is up, it can be recycled. Repopulate the site without lower prices or lower the quality of liquid products, we can significantly reduce packaging waste, few consumers rarely go to those retail stores to repopulate the site. Bulk purchase is a viable option, it is necessary to limit the package, to provide consumers with greater value.

Barrier plastic food bag recycling is almost non-existent, because consumers need to do is fill a box, and then returned to the box. There are many different types of boxes to choose from, there are some specific waste streams, others do not need to waste classification acceptable. When re-using or filling is not possible, recycling is the best method for processing waste streams.

Global flexible packaging demand is expected to reach 2 trillion in 2016

2014, plastic packaging sales in the global food industry, rose 3 per cent to 1.9 trillion, its global sales in 2016 are expected to rise to 2 trillion.

Market research firm Euromonitor International said that in the food industry, stand-up pouches is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing plastic packaging.

Stand-up pouches is still loved by many brands form of packaging. According to Euromonitor International predicts 2014 - 2019 period, stand-up pouches annual sales will increase by 6%.

In 2014, self-released in the bag, the concern include the world's largest breakfast cereal manufacturer Kellogg's businesses in France launched cereals used in packaging, Heinz food company in Germany to launch a ready-meal packaging and Hulk sweet corn packaging.

"From this year's Packaging Research data, the stand-up pouches is one of the success stories," Euromonitor International Packaging Research director Rosemarie

Downey said, "stand-up pouches are sold very well, is a suitable microwaveable packaged solution that can be used for packaging ready meals, rice, pasta, biscuits, sweets, savory snacks and ice cream, yogurt and baby food and other direct consumption of disposable packaging also occupy a certain market share. stand-up pouches very wide range of applications. "

In 2015, China and India accounted for 50 percent growth in food packaging. 2014 Year in Asia-Pacific sales to rise by 5 percent, or 320 billion package.

"China and India are the driving force of the global food packaging industry," Downey adds, "the level of urbanization and increasing disposable income, coupled with the buying habits of the bulk foods to packaged foods, so that those countries, the more demand for plastic packaging be greater. "

How much do you know about the coffee valve for coffee packaging?

Blog by Yuki

Coffee has unlimited charm to attract people's vision and taste. Why does everyone drink the bitter black coffee and not cheap it? In fact good coffee can mellow, delicate, delicious.

All coffee beans, whether through grinding, the flavor in baking after the start decreasing, so if you want to drink the freshest coffee, be sure to keep coffee beans. Save the beans by air, injuries and humidity and light, so save the beans can be a daunting task.

Coffee beans after roasting, are packed in plastic or paper bags.Fresh roasted coffee emits large amounts of CO2,this gas must be gradually released, to prevent package over-inflation and to preserve aroma, moreover beans must be protected from oxygen coming from outside. The one-way degassing valve was developed for coffee from oxygen (O2), and gives off carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

 Coffee more than 300 years, popular in every corner of the world has become one of the three major beverages in the world, global annual consumption has reached more than 800 million tons.In the face of such a huge amount of consumption, coffee bags industry is rapidly developing,Coffee valve will be widely applied to flexible packaging.

 The one-way degassing valves are applied to each package(Kraft Bags、Aluminum foil bag、StandUp Pouches、Flat Pouches、Paper Bags and Gusseted Bags）.

Flexible packaging market accounting for 18% of the US into second Bulk

Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) said that as the second largest packaging, flexible packaging solutions accounted for 18% of the $ 145 billion worth of US packaging market. Lightweight flexible packaging include films and laminates, which is conducive to higher capacity transportation products, reduce the production of the raw materials required. For each brand, saving energy costs, reduce material cost is a revolutionary movement.

Flexible production rationality

In the production process, energy use 50% less flexible than rigid bottles, using 60% less plastic than rigid bottles.

In the production, the material needs of less flexible, CO2 produces less during transport, landfill takes up less space. In the production / consumption cycle of the manufacturing side, the flexible packaging is more reasonable, because it produces a negative impact than the corresponding rigid plastic bottles on the environment less. According to the FPA, it said flexible stand-up pouch packaging products Bibi metal cover glass high 35 times, 21 times higher than aluminum cans bottles.

The Sustainable Packaging is a big argument flexible packaging industry, also has yet to fully environmentally responsible development. For all consumers, recycled plastic that is the answer. CompleteRecycling.com noted that the use of recycled plastics consumption than production of new plastic containers or bottles to be at least 80%. But the recovery is only answer to environmentally conscious? It applies to flexible packaging it?

Know thyself, know yourself

In discussing these issues at the beginning, we could not help but look to the bag is not perfect.

Although the demand for bags fields are increasing, bags also increased innovation itself, but when the bag forming factors involved, the lack of adaptation of innovative problem is still very prominent. Regardless of this bag is used to hold gel washing soap, or loaded baked seasoning dried particles, liquids or cooking sauce, it's nearly the same parts.

According Flexible Packaging Association, in 2013, accounted for 58% of flexible packaging in retail and institutional food industry packaging, 12% in non-food retail packaging. Flexible packaging has a number of advantages, such as less waste, lower distribution costs, can be customized and strong.

If we pay more attention to the rigid components contained in bags, flexible packaging industry, what will happen? If the flexible packaging industry to resolve the structural problems, how will?

For now, there is no process in place formal flexible closed loop recycling system, especially for multi-barrier system materials, mosaic polyethylene (PE) layer of aluminum foil laminated body structure. Single package more easily recovered since it does not contain a central layer of aluminum foil. PE recycling process multilayer flexible packaging due to the inclusion of the step of separating each layer than conventional plastic recycling program needed more. You then need to analyze each layer to identify and recycling of plastic film are processed further to produce recycled resin. Due to a large number of flexible packaging for food packaging, food contamination became another obstacle recovered. For most flexible, since food contamination throughout the current recycling system, in fact, the proportion of packaging can be reused just small, small. Non-renewable polymer is fed into the anaerobic chamber to be burned for energy production plant emissions monitoring offer.

Forward-thinking group (such as Flexible Packaging Association) adopted a series of great initiatives, it is very concerned about sustainable packaging. FPA is working with some producers research on environmentally safe packaging. Sustainable plastics alliance, after Plastic Recyclers Association (APPR) and a flexible film recycling Group (FFRG), also strongly promote and carry out the relevant plastic film recycling public education and advocacy.

Flexible Packaging Recycling

President of the European Association of packaging and film (Pafa) BarryTuner once said, the British media distort the truth and "minimal impact on the environment of plastic bags," bags worth. In fact, the various countries and regions of plastic bags these things rhetoric, but also overly exaggerated.

Currently, the full recovery of aluminum components Enval and uses pyrolysis process plastic parts is the best solution currently being processed multilayer packaging waste, however, have not yet fully recovered solutions other plastic materials plastic parts.

By pyrolysis, char residue containing an inorganic material such as plastic formed contains 80% of liquid carbon and gaseous carbon 20% (due to lack of oxygen in the chamber, so it will not produce CO2 gas). The liquid fuel / energy demand, which carbon may be delivered to a different location. Ashes can be used as components of premix concrete and other products produced. The carbon can be used as fuel, companies often enter the mixed waste pyrolysis chamber to generate the best possible non-availability of fuel.

Bring this liquid carbon fuels into a more durable, energy efficient ways of high integrity also need to continue research.

Find more effective waste treatment process (especially in the pyrolysis) of flexible packaging and lower impact on the environment, it is a challenging task, but it is possible. With the innovative flexible packaging industry has made, such as the use of bio-based materials or waste-to-energy pyrolysis process, the cornerstone of the foundation for further development already in place.

2017 British plastics industry has developed plastic packaging recovery rate of 57%

British plastics industry launched a plan to require the government to make greater efforts to complete the development of plastic packaging recovery in 2017 to 57% target.

This program, called "Plastic Industry Action Programme" called on all practitioners to make efforts to achieve the goal.

2013, England recovered 787,050 tons of plastic packaging. If the government recognized the 2013 total plastic packaging on the market for 2.49 million tons of this figure, then the recovery of the United Kingdom in 2013 was 32%.

British plastics industry has developed in 2017 57% of plastic packaging recycling targets

If not all, such as central government, local government, the waste management agency, recyclers, supporting the project to force users to fully participate in the producers and processors, implementation, and this goal will be difficult.

British organization WRAP recycling company Valpak and cooperation is estimated to be finished until 2020 to reach over 57% recovery target.

Based on this situation, the Government is currently consulting relevant agencies to study whether it should modify this liability target, reducing to 42% of the original plan, and the timetable for completion of delayed.

Meanwhile, the industry also called on practitioners to take various measures to improve the recovery of plastics, including the removal of the policy threshold set by the government to expand the scope of recyclables species, improve the quality of packaging material recycling plant.

This program is the UK WRAP Association and the "Plastics 2020 organization," the two agencies design is completed. "Plastic 2020 organization" is a special group by the European Plastics Association, the British Association of Plastic and plastic packaging film composed of the Association.

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.
