Technological innovation promotes industry upgrading

Research and development of new high-performance materials: In order to meet the higher performance requirements of packaging in different industries, the research and development of new high-performance plastic materials is a hot topic. For example, plastic materials with high barrier properties can better block oxygen, water vapor, odor, etc., extend the shelf life of products, and are suitable for industries with high requirements for freshness such as food and medicine; there are also plastic packaging materials with antibacterial and antiviral properties, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses, ensure product safety, and have broad application prospects in the field of medical and sanitary products packaging.
Development of intelligent packaging technology: With the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and sensors, intelligent packaging technology has emerged. Intelligent packaging can monitor product status in real time, such as temperature, humidity, freshness and other information, and transmit data to consumers or companies through wireless communication technology, so that consumers can understand product quality and companies can understand the situation of products in the supply chain. For example, some high-end food packaging has built-in temperature sensors. When the temperature exceeds the appropriate range, the indicator light on the packaging will light up to remind consumers; the electronic label on the drug packaging can record information such as the opening time of the drug and the remaining amount of medicine, which is convenient for patients to manage medication.
Application of digital printing technology: Digital printing technology is increasingly used in the field of plastic packaging. Compared with traditional printing methods, it has the advantages of short printing cycle, low cost, and personalized customization. Enterprises can quickly print packaging with different patterns and texts according to customer needs to meet the diversified and personalized needs of the market. For example, some cosmetics brands have launched customized packaging services, and consumers can print their favorite patterns or texts on the packaging, which can be easily achieved through digital printing technology.
