Overview of packaging and printing equipment (below)

Table 1 Import and Export of Gravure Printing Machines, 1998-2001
In 1998, 113 sets of 28,980,000 US dollars were exported, and 60 sets of 47,71 thousand US dollars were exported.

In 1999, 155 sets of 85.449 million US dollars were exported, 60 60.51 million US dollars were exported.

In 2000, 155 sets of 40.645 million US dollars were exported, and 120 sets of 88.62 million U.S. dollars were exported.

In 2001, it imported 133 units of 59,229,900 US dollars and exported 162 units of 1,399,000 US dollars.

It can be seen from Table 1 that the general trend is that imports are decreasing year by year, and exports are increasing year by year, which reflects the greater improvement in the manufacturing level of gravure printing machines.
Due to the rapid development of the packaging and printing industry in China, the demand for gravure printing presses has increased. Apart from state-owned and joint ventures, many private and individual companies have also joined the ranks of gravure printing machines. Among them, gravure printing machine manufacturers include Shaanxi Beiren Printing Machine Co., Ltd., Wenzhou Shenli Group, Rui'an Yuehua Printing Machinery Factory, Shantou Yuguang Light Industry Machinery Factory, Hubeishan Light Industry Machinery Co., Ltd., and Shunde Debao Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. Company, Wuxi Beiren Xiemin Printing Machinery Factory and more than 30 companies. The automatic slitting machine, which is matched with the gravure printing machine, has been produced by manufacturers in the middle seal, three-side sealing bag making machine, sealing machine, and plastic wrapper.
Fourth, the paper surface decoration equipment Paper surface decoration equipment is an important equipment for printing and packaging products to the development of quality, in the past 10 years, has produced a benzene solvent, water, dry laminating machine, UV polishing machine and local polishing machine , Calibrators, embossing machines, laminating machines (complex gold, silver cardboard and other papers), bronzing machines, crescent machines, etc., as well as sheet-fed gravure printing, printing, silver and field printing machine. There are many manufacturers of such equipment, including Fujian Nanping Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., Tianjin Light Industry Decoration Machinery Factory, Shenli Group Co., Ltd., Wenzhou Qunying Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. and nearly 50 companies. Sheet-fed gravure printing machines are mainly manufactured by seven companies, including Shanghai Ziming Machinery Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhenhengli Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Electric Group Printing & Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd., which is a carton branch company. In 2001, Beijing Zhenhengli Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. also took the lead in introducing a four-color sheet-fed gravure printing machine in China and passed the user's on-site identification. According to the incomplete statistics of eight companies, in 2001, the company produced 101 film laminating machines, 171 laminating machines, 41 calenders, 46 veneers and laminating machines, and 30 sheet-fed gravure printing machines.
The development of the packaging and printing industry has led to the growth of the printing and packaging machinery manufacturing industry. However, behind the development, some unreasonable factors are also covered up, which should attract the attention of the national supervision department.
1, the proliferation of excessive packaging products, so that the cost of packaging in the product price higher proportion. Outstanding examples are: tobacco packaging, wine packaging, tea packaging, gift packaging, boutique book packaging and so on. One ordinary mooncake produced by a company actually had five layers of packaging. The first layer was a plastic film gravure heat-sealed small package of moon cakes, the second layer was an embossed gold cardboard die-cutting package, and the third layer was three moon cakes. Small packaging with gold cardboard tray plus hard plastic mold embossed lid packaging, the fourth layer is a color offset cardboard composite hot stamping carton packaging, the fifth layer is a 480mm × 330mm offset printing large-scale portable paper bag, which in addition to edible moon cakes, No other packaging has any use value, throw it away. This over-packaging has wasted resources and increased the burden on consumers. It is harmful and has no advantages. It hopes to restrict it through legislation.
2. Consumption of public funds is also a cause of excessive packaging. In order to sell and sell emotions or organize meetings, it is not uncommon to frequently send gifts, such as a bottle of wine, a box of cigarettes, and a little American ginseng, which can be packaged at a value 10 times higher than that of the packaged item.
In short, with the improvement of the people’s living standards and the strengthening of market supervision, the packaging and printing industry and the printing and packaging machinery manufacturing industry will increase exports after entering the WTO, explore the international market, and the packaging printing equipment manufacturing industry will surely move forward.
