Corrugated packaging deformation does not change the value of the package

Introduction: In recent years, with the popularity of the retail market, the demand for corrugated packaging has also increased rapidly. The rise of e-commerce has also promoted the change in the form of corrugated packaging, which has brought additional growth to the value of corrugated packaging.

The box-type box type is converted to the tray, and the die-cut box is still hot.

It is understood that from the development of the retail sector, the rise of retail packaging (RRP), the growth of online merchants and the growth of comprehensive convenience stores will lead to a significant reduction in the size of the carton. This change will bring additional growth to the value of corrugated packaging, but the processing costs of corrugated packaging may increase significantly.

Due to the increased demand for retail packaging (RRP) in the fast-food consumer market and the cost-cutting demands of the industrial and consumer durables markets, the trend towards the consolidation of corrugated packaging into pallets and die-cut boxes will continue. However, this requires an increase in investment in die-cutting capacity and new types of equipment for factories, factories and brands in various locations. To some extent, this lack of investment has inhibited this trend in corrugated packaging in the short term. .

The increase in corrugated cardboard structure and 微-type micro-corrugation will continue to be “group”.

In the markets of developed regions, the share between single corrugated, double corrugated and three corrugated cardboard has not changed significantly. However, in emerging markets, especially in China, due to the decline in the share of the township market, the increasing number of modern corrugated board lines and packaging base papers has led to the transformation of corrugated board from a multi-corrugated structure to a single corrugated structure. In the domestic and export markets, the increase in the domestic market share and the increase in the share of the fast-moving consumer goods sector have also contributed to this trend.

The remarkable growth of fine printing technology and the wider adoption of “retail packaging” are driving micro-corrugation to continue to heat up. At present, in addition to E楞 and F楞, micro-wavy is also available in types such as G楞 and N楞. In recent months, the development of micro-corrugated has given birth to some new types of corrugated that are different from E楞, such as R楞, S楞, T楞 and P楞. This situation is likely to be replicated in other parts of the world.

The reduction in the weight of the paper weight is expected to increase the production value of corrugated by 4.2% in 5 years.

In the past year, news of reducing the weight of cardboard in various regions of the world has been reported in newspapers. The performance of these developments in China is particularly striking. For the reasons mentioned above, the weight of China's corrugated packaging will be reduced by 10% in the next five years. In contrast, North America has only minor changes in the weight reduction of corrugated, and it is expected that this change will bring about an increase of 1.4% in the next five years.

The lightweight development of corrugated US is also limited by many factors, such as the processing method of materials, distribution and storage methods. It is worth noting that the United States has been very high in terms of the height of the stacking of goods.

There are also some deeper factors that have slowed down the trend of lightweighting. The paperboard paper mills are not willing to reduce the weight, and there is another fact that has to be faced that many existing corrugated board processing equipment does not have The ability to efficiently process low gram weight corrugated board.

However, given the cost savings and environmental protection contributions of lightweighting, these disputes have not been discussed. With the continuous improvement of the quality of the cardboard, coupled with the improvement of the packaging design, especially the stacking strength of the die-cut packaging and the pressure resistance of the bottom carton, the lightweight trend is unstoppable.

The use of low-gram-weight cardboard paper (less than 100 g/m2, and less than 90 g/m2) is currently used mainly in the European market, and lightweighting will be more widely used in various regions of the world. But the North American market may be an exception.

In short, in the next five years, Wachick will fall at a rate of 0.8% per year and create a value added of 4.2%.

The growth rate of exquisite printing and fine printing will be close to twice the growth rate of the corrugated industry.

The exquisite printing process includes high-line flexo printing (3-band drying system, usually grouped), lithographic pre-printing (including labeling), direct offset printing, screen printing and digital printing. According to comprehensive statistics, such processes account for nearly 11% of the global market.

From the past experience, most of the durable consumer goods and electronic products use a beautiful printing process. However, in recent years these areas have suffered from the decline in consumer markets in developed regions due to falling consumer incomes, as well as the decline in exports from emerging markets.

In the fast-moving consumer goods market, the lack of online promotion and the increasing emphasis on the display effect of goods in the store, coupled with the eager demand of retailers and brands for “retail packaging”, is making the retail marketing environment a focus of attention. This directly triggers the global demand for fine printing to grow generally, and predicts that its growth rate will exceed the growth rate of corrugated industry.

Lithographic offset printing occupies a large share of fine printing and will continue to grow as this process has already brought the image's reductiveness to life.

Preprinting is facing the challenge of a new generation of high-line flexo presses that can print higher definition images. And compared with pre-printing, the new generation of high-line flexo presses are more flexible in order to take orders and production. These new types of equipment have already firmly occupied a place in the field of fine printing. Although there is still a gap in the printing effect, the printed image effect has become closer to lithographic offset printing.

Screen printing continues to expand its territory, but it has inherently high-cost and labor-intensive defects, and its main application is concentrated in scattered display areas, such as product pre-packaging, waste bins and life-size movie posters.

In large-format digital printing, some devices with beautiful printed images and strong operability have emerged in recent years, but because of the relatively high cost of ink, they are used for short-run printing.

The lithographic direct printing process did not make much progress as we expected. We had hoped that this process would give carton factories the opportunity to print directly on micro-corrugated, but in fact, this did not happen. The main reason is that the offset cost of the offset press is too high, the speed of the printing press will also decrease, the corrugation in the printing may be flattened, and it is difficult to ensure that the paper is not bent when the paper is fed.

In the medium and long term, the demand for image printing in developed regions and emerging markets has increased the market demand for white paper, and its growth rate may greatly exceed the growth rate of corrugated industry, which is expected to increase by 5.0 to 5.5%.
