The Development Direction of China's Export Commodity Transport Packaging

China's packaging industry started in the 70s of this century and developed in the 1980s. During this period, it has undergone profound changes from small to large, from traditional packaging to modern packaging. One is a complete range of packaging materials including paper, plastic, wood, glass, and metal. And modern packaging industry systems such as packaging products, packaging and printing, packaging machinery, packaging design, and packaging services have basically formed in China. China's packaging industry is responsible for trillions of yuan in industrial and agricultural products and more than 100 billion US dollars worth of export goods packaging tasks each year, playing an important role in the national economy.

Before the 1990s, because of the long-term impact of the planned economy and many other factors, compared with developed countries, China's warehousing and transportation of export commodities generally have a small storage area, a poor environment, a low degree of mechanization, and a low share of container transportation. gap. The increase in the degree of internationalization of the economy and the development of foreign trade have placed ever-increasing demands on the packaging and transportation of exported goods. In order to ensure that the export goods are not lost to the maximum extent, the export goods packaging volume is required to be small, and the requirements for packaging materials are higher, so that the packaging cost occupies a relatively high proportion in the export goods cost.

Since the 1990s, the warehousing environment of China's export commodities has been continuously improved, and the degree of mechanization and the share of container transportation have continuously increased, and the requirements for the transportation and packaging of exported goods have changed.

First, under the premise of ensuring that export goods are not affected by packaging, the cost of packaging should be appropriately reduced. Such as plastic drums, cardboard drums, plastic woven bags and other packaging instead of open steel drums, the cost can generally be reduced by more than 50% plastic drums instead of steel-plastic composite drums, can not only contain corrosive liquids, while greatly reducing the cost; Substituting low-weight, high-strength cardboard for high-gram board, and domestic materials for imported materials are the main methods for reducing costs when storage and transportation conditions continue to improve.

Second, with the increase in the degree of mechanization of storage and transportation, the transportation and packaging of export commodities has gradually grown toward large-scale. In recent years, in the export of mineral products, chemical products and other products, the use of flexible container bags has been increasing, and the use of other medium-sized bulk containers and removable tanks has been further promoted. The large-scale transport packaging will not only help reduce the cost of transport packaging, but also help improve the efficiency of loading and unloading exported goods.

The low cost and large-scale packaging of export goods has become the development direction of this year. Transport packaging manufacturers shall adapt to the needs of the development situation and make due contributions to improving the competitiveness of China's export commodities in the international market.
