The so-called packaging modernization refers to the use of advanced and applicable technologies and management methods in the packaging design, manufacturing, printing, and information transmission of packaging products. With the lowest packaging cost, packaging materials have successfully entered the consumption through packaging. field. To realize the modernization of packaging, it is necessary to vigorously develop modern packaging products, speed up the development of modern packaging machinery and equipment, popularize advanced packaging technologies, and accelerate the development and production of new packaging materials. In terms of transportation and packaging of materials, we must give full play to the role of containers, container bags, cartons, and trays, and gradually realize packaging and assembly. At the same time, packaging should be matched with transportation tools, storage, and handling methods to achieve serialization of packaging. , normalization and standardization.
The packaging industry has become an important industry in the national economy. The technological transformation of the packaging industry with advanced science and technology is the main way to promote the development of China's packaging industry. At present, China has formed a modern packaging industry system consisting of paper products, plastic products, glass products, metal products, packaging and printing, packaging machinery, and packaging scientific research and testing. It is distributed in more than 20 sectors of the national economy and is a Horizontal type of cross-sector, cross-regional large industry. Therefore, the realization of packaging modernization is conducive to promoting the development of the packaging industry, and then promote the modernization of logistics.
During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, with the development of deep processing and packaging of agricultural and sideline products and the rapid increase in the demand for export goods packaging, the focus of the development of China's packaging industry is:
(1) Grasping the packaging for guaranteeing effective supply is mainly the packaging of urgently needed products in the production and construction of the national economy, and the packaging of people's lives must be crystallized, especially the development and promotion of transport packaging.
(2) Do a good job in the packaging of export commodities. Export commodities should take a new level in packaging design, material selection, pattern design, and color line application.
(3) Further improve commodity packaging and reduce economic losses caused by poor packaging.
(4) The development of packaging products should be based on the development and utilization of paper packaging technology, control the development of plastic packaging products, stably improve glass packaging products, and reasonably develop metal packaging products.
(5) Develop "green packaging." The so-called green packaging refers to packaging that is harmless to the ecological environment and human health, can be recycled and recycled, and promotes sustainable development. From the perspective of development, green packaging will become a major trend in the development of the packaging industry in the 21st century. Therefore, we must focus on the development of green packaging materials, improve the packaging process, and increase the recycling and comprehensive utilization of packaging materials.
The modernization of logistics cannot be separated from the modernization of packaging. Therefore, as long as we understand the functions of packaging in the modern economy from the perspective of developing the socialist market economy, realize the renewal of concepts, and act according to the economic laws, the packaging industry in our country will surely achieve greater and faster development during the “10th Five-Year Plan†period. It plays a major role in promoting the growth of the national economy.
