With the development of environmental awareness, the packaging industry is moving in the direction of green development. Such a development trend is bound to guide the development of more green packaging forms, such as paper packaging. The arrival of the era of paper packaging is being plagued by overcapacity in the paper industry has brought business opportunities.

This year, the paper industry has appeared in thirty years has never been a new situation. January to October, the national mechanism of paper and paperboard production of 97.34 million tons, an increase of 0.11%, nearly zero growth, including from May to September, the monthly production of continuous negative growth in October month, uncoated writing paper year-on-year growth of -9.49%, of which the newsprint growth of -11.81%. This is the main embodiment of overcapacity after high-speed development. In such an external environment, the paper industry's future is bleak. The prevalence of paper packaging to the paper industry has brought a ray of hope.

Green packaging can also be called pollution-free packaging and environmental friend packaging, refers to the ecological environment and human health harmless, can be reused and regeneration, in line with the sustainable development of packaging. reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Degradable that is recognized by the world development of green packaging 3R and 1D principles.

The annual per capita consumption of packaging materials in foreign countries is more than 100kg, the United States is 50kg, Japan is 200kg, Germany is 90kg, CIS is 80kg, China is 30kg, compared to China's annual per capita consumption of packaging materials is lower, but China's population of 1.3 billion people, so the number of annual consumption of packaging materials is still quite large. So green has become the development direction of the packaging industry.

Paper is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally friendly packaging materials. Paper raw materials mainly from natural plant fibers, can be quickly decomposed by nature, does not cause pollution of the environment, but also can be recycled to make paper again, and mature technology. Paper material also has pulp injection molding parts, composite materials, building materials and other uses. Pulp molded products in addition to lightweight, inexpensive, shockproof and other advantages it also has good air permeability, is conducive to the preservation of fresh goods, in the international flow of goods, is widely used in eggs, fruits, glass products, such as fragile, fragile, afraid of extrusion of the goods of the turnover of the packaging.

The world is calling for green packaging, cherish the earth, paper technology is bound to be widely used in the packaging industry, green packaging will become the trend of the future development of the packaging industry, paper instead of wood, paper instead of plastic, paper instead of glass, paper instead of metal, has become a consensus for sustainable development.

Paper and cardboard as the substrate of paper-based packaging, with low-cost, resource-saving, easy to machine, more environmentally friendly, non-polluting, easy to recycle, recycling and other advantages. Whether it is used for transportation packaging of cardboard boxes, or for the sale of products in the outer packaging of paper boxes, paper bags, are paper as the ideal choice. With the development of papermaking technology and environmental awareness, the traditional single paper materials are composite diversified direction. Composite paper, functional special paper and non-polluting plant fiber paper is constantly being developed, the function and applicability of paper is not what it used to be, gradually replacing other materials in the packaging.

At the same time, in recent years, food packaging began to move towards the era of paper packaging. The rapid development of China's food industry, paper packaging provides a broad space for development. Such as for food packaging selection of paper on water absorption, waterproof, thermal insulation, solar energy to heat, fruit residue paper, bean residue paper, carrot paper, long-lasting mildew-resistant paper, freshness paper, cans of paper, acrylic synthetic paper, foam paper, self-adhesive wrapping paper, rigid and lightweight wrapping paper and other new paper materials. It is expected that the future of the circular economy will become the main mode of development of the packaging industry, packaging waste resource recycling will be industrialized, green packaging materials will be vigorously developed and developed, the packaging industry will also accelerate the development of basic.

In today's homogenization of various commodities under the trend, packaging has become the quality of goods, after-sales service after the third absolute sales and establish brand image of important factors. Packaging from the original commodity protection and convenient use of the function, to increase the value of goods, branding, and promote the development of sales. Packaging design has become an important part of the commodity marketing program. As the first of the four packaging paper-based packaging, with the continuous development of paper materials and its processing technology, modeling form increasingly diverse, more creative real estate.

Appropriate and practical structure and novel appearance has become an important factor for businessmen to enhance the competition of products and brands in the market. Excellent paper-based packaging will break through the limitations of the previous paper-based packaging, give full play to the good physical properties of paper and printing applicability and other advantages, and fully demonstrate the paper-based packaging capacity, protection, convenience, display, aesthetics, and affordability and other characteristics, increase the added value of the product, improve sales capacity.

According to a report, the global green packaging market is worth nearly 120 billion U.S. dollars this year, and by 2018 this figure is expected to be close to 178 billion U.S. dollars. Undoubtedly, China has become the largest packaging market in Asia. China's packaging market is expected to grow at a rapid rate of 9.8% per year from 2011 to 2016, far outpacing other Asian countries. Obviously, China's packaging industry is beginning to enter the stage of industrial upgrading.
