The development status of China's packaging and printing industry

In China's printing industry, the packaging and printing industry known as “urban industry” has become one of the most growing industries in recent years, and has continued to grow at a rate of 10% to 12%. However, careful analysis of the status quo of China's packaging and printing industry, there are still some problems that need to be solved, these problems have become a bottleneck hindering the healthy development of China's packaging and printing industry.

小企业偏多

由于包装印刷业投资规模相对较小，吸纳劳动力能力相对较强，对环境的破坏程度较低，所以受到许多地方政府的青睐，政策性优惠与扶持推动了行业发展。

但从布局上看，包装印刷企业相对比较分散，不利于印刷业的日常监管。从企业规模上看，沿海等发达地区包装印刷企业规模较大，而内陆等地区包装印刷企业的规模相对较小。从业务结构上看，仅有少数企业活源充足，而大多数企业活源紧张。正是由于规模小的包装印刷企业偏多，有低挡次、重复建设等现象，许多企业没有自己的特色，高新技术在这些包装印刷企业的运用比重还很低。

Labor inefficiency

     Packaging printing has the functions and functions of increasing the added value of products, improving product quality, and enhancing consumption. However, compared with developed countries, the total output value of China's packaging and printing industry is still very low. There are figures to prove that at present, the total output value of China's printing industry accounts for only about 4% of the total output value of the printing industry in the world, and only 2.5% of the national GDP. The labor efficiency of China's packaging and printing industry is also low, even less than one tenth of developed countries.
      It is true that low labor efficiency is determined by a variety of factors, depending on the technological innovation and transformation of the enterprise, and on the other hand, the overall improvement of the quality of the employees. However, from the reality of China's packaging and printing industry, it needs to go through a relatively long process.

Regional development imbalance

        The development of the packaging and printing industry is inseparable from the development of the regional economy, which is determined by the characteristics of the industry. It is worth noting that the uneven development of the national economy has directly led to the uneven distribution of packaging and printing enterprises in China. For example, in the eastern coastal areas of China, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta region, the economic development is relatively fast, the packaging and printing industry is prosperous, while the economic development in the western inland areas is relatively backward, and its packaging and printing industry is relatively sluggish.
        According to the statistics of the China Printing Industry Association, the total output value of packaging and printing in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu accounts for more than half of the total output value of national packaging and printing; while in the northwest, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, The total output value of packaging and printing in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other provinces only accounts for about 5% of the country. This situation, one is the waste of printing resources; the second is that the company does not have enough competitiveness; the third is to hinder the development of packaging and printing enterprises.

Equipment "polarization"
        At present, the level of equipment in China's packaging and printing industry is uneven, and it has clearly formed a "two-level differentiation": that is, there are various high-speed, high-grade imported printing machines in the world, and there are various low-tech and low-quality products. Printing Equipment.
        In particular, most small and medium-sized packaging and printing companies mostly use medium and low-end printing equipment due to lack of funds. Many packaging and printing companies buy second-hand imported printing equipment. Many small-scale enterprises use old-fashioned printing machines, and post-press production equipment is also relatively backward. Some printing equipments are nearing aging. Compared with these small and medium-sized enterprises, some large-scale packaging and printing enterprises have advanced equipments, complete functions, high degree of automation, stable performance, and can print a variety of high-end packaging and printing products. This weak and strong current situation shows that the overall strength of China's packaging and printing industry is insufficient.
       To this end, in the face of the future, the industry should focus on solving the "four major problems" and promote the healthy development of China's packaging and printing industry in the spirit of scientific development.
