Paper packaging has obvious advantages or become the mainstream of food packaging
Some data show that the amount of plastic used in food packaging accounts for 1/4 of the total plastic output. It can be said that as soon as plastic used in food packaging appears, garbage will be generated. In supermarkets and shopping malls, many food packages are made of plastic. The plastic inflatable packaging of puffed food can be moisture-proof, oxidation-proof, fragrance-preserving, sunshine-blocking and extrusion-proof, but such a large package is a great waste of resources; and the packaging of instant noodles, plastic packaging is far more than paper bowls (or barrels) packaging, the sale price of bowls or barrels of instant noodles on the market is generally high. One third of the selling price of instant noodles in bags of the same quality is convenient to eat. Especially when traveling, it can be eaten directly by soaking hot water after opening the lid, without bringing other containers, so it is very popular with consumers.
With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, it is necessary for consumers to eliminate backward packaging. The improvement of plastic materials is also a top priority. Food on the market can be packaged with paper as much as possible to reduce the waste of plastic and environmental pollution, which is also for the benefit of future generations.
Upgrading Paper Packaging Industry Needs Innovation
From the international market point of view, the global demand for corrugated cartons will rise to 213 billion square meters at an annual growth rate of 3.4%. Moreover, a large part of the growth will come from China, global packaging is ushering in a "China era". However, the packaging industry is also facing many challenges, so it is necessary to explore innovative models. Reducing the impact of packaging on the environment, increasing the flexibility of packaging process, improving the degree of packaging automation, improving the use of packaging convenience, improving the integrated service level of packaging, packaging to a multi-functional and single polarization direction, these will become an important development of corrugated carton packaging industry in the future.

I. Transitional Innovation
At present, enterprises hope to change their thinking, methods, actions and results through packaging transformation and innovation. In the process of comprehensively promoting the packaging technology progress of the whole industry, leading the new trend of packaging in China, and realizing the maximization of the value chain, Chinese packaging has been shown to the world in various ways. One is to find the blank spots in the industry, that is, the recycling and reuse of waste packaging, such as the tray sharing system; the other is to occupy the commanding position of the industry, that is, the research and manufacture of low-carbon green environmental protection packaging materials, such as foamed stone paper; the third is to find the leading point of the industry, that is, packaging services, such as integrated system design, research and development, testing. Fourth, to promote the innovation of packaging technology and the technological progress of household appliances industry. The ways of transformation of corrugated carton packaging industry are: from high emission, high energy consumption to low emission and low carbon; from three functions of packaging to internationalization; from packaging services to packaging integration solutions.
II. Management Innovation
The innovative mode of packaging quality management should focus on achieving customer satisfaction. We should learn and implement advanced quality process control methods as soon as possible to manage the production process, continuously improve the quality of products and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. With customer demand as the center, the customer's demand is transformed into technical specifications at each stage of product development and design, and customer satisfaction is maximized at the lowest cost. A packaging quality problem usually leads to several quality cost factors. The purpose of quality cost analysis is to find out the relationship between quality cost factors and packaging quality problems, as well as related cost costs, and then determine the order of eliminating quality problems and specific countermeasures.
Undoubtedly, the concept of reasonable packaging is to make the level of protection of packaging, product affordability and logistics environment suitable. In fact, most of the products do not require 100% perfect rate during transportation. Considering the relationship between protection performance and cost, a moderate breakage rate is needed. Grasping this moderation is a very difficult task. This work requires us to consider two issues: how to achieve it technically and whether the cost of achieving it is reasonable.
III. Green Innovation
The concept of zero packaging, simplified packaging and green packaging, which is led by packaging revolution, is emerging in the global economic and industrial system and being put into practice. Green commodities and green packaging will become a new hotspot. The packaging industry should not only care about the quality, performance and cost of packaging products, but also about the impact of packaging products on the environment and the consumption of resources. Therefore, only developing green packaging is the only choice for sustainable development of packaging industry.
Under the environment of global appeal for green packaging, paper packaging will usher in greater opportunities. Green packaging will become the main development trend of baking food packaging industry in the future. Paper instead of wood, paper instead of plastic, paper instead of glass, paper instead of metal, has become the consensus of sustainable development. Paper packaging has more renewable natural raw materials and more environmentally friendly recycling and reuse, fully demonstrating the development potential.
