In the past 1 year, there are some bright spots in plastic package industrial deserve focus on: plastic bags lightweight process continuous to advance,good results achieved; functional package debuts, some high barrier、steaming & boiling resistance、oxidation resistance etc functional food plastic package get a prompt promotion; bio-based plastic package is not out of reach; In-mold labeling packaging to re-active in the plastic packaging market set off a small climax; convenience package becomes indispensable important parts of package field, more and more enterprises have developed strong interests in them.
Lightweight Plastic Package
Functional Plastic Film Package
Functional film is one of the most promising fields in new package industrial, high barrier、high temperature steaming & boiling resistant、low temperature freezing resistance、active packaging、heat shrinkable film、abrasion resistance and antibacterial etc plastic package films already become the market development hotspot, especially at the barrier area, as the barrier film has great barrier characters, it has good effect on preserving, preserving and extending the life of the goods.
Bio-based Plastics Package
It’s well known that, the oil is nonrenewable scarce resource, the imbalance of oil reserves and the predatory exploitation of the developed countries have been an important factor causing the unrest in the world, therefore, it’s gradually becoming consensus among the worldly developed countries to develop the biodegradable materials and reduce the consumption of petrochemical resources. Recently, with the rapidly development of related technology, more and more bio-based plastics will appear in the plastic package industrial field.
The bio-based plastics brings the new daylight for the sustainable development for plastic package market, even though, the biodegradable materials package takes up only small amount percentage, in the future, the bio-based plastic package’s market share will grow sustainably.
In-mold Labeling Package
The in-mold labeling package technology has already brought into China more than 10 years, while, owing to kinds of factors’ restriction, breakthrough has not been able to achieved in these years, the good news is that the in-molding labeling package market reactive again in recent few years, a small climax has been set off in plastic package markets, especially in fast consumption package fields, under the pressure of labor cost arising, more and more enterprises prefer to inspect and adopts in-molding label package technology.
Convenience Plastics Package
Nowadays, along with the improvement of living standard and the constantly accelerating of society rhythm, the customers’ demand for package keeps improving, thus, promoting the innovation and development of packaging in convenience. The appearance of new sealing technologies such as re-sealable zipper、screw cap on full liquid soft package bag etc, makes it available to open the package without tearing anything on the heads of bag. Therefore, the latest convenience also could realize self heating、direct microwave heating、steaming and boiling resistance、self cooling etc functions, the convenience is important tendency of plastic package development.
In 2017, the plastic packaging industry will focus on lightweight packaging, functional films, bio-based plastics, mould label packing and convenience packaging etc 5 areas, and they are not independent, but a tightly integrated unit.
