With the rapid growth of the national economy, China's packaging industry has been fast developed, especially in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and health products. Some professional said,the development ofconsumer goods package are tend to four derections.

Packaging materials reduction

 In day by day fierce competition, the enterprise will often ensure profits by cost control,reduce the packing charges are usually one of the main content, and at the same time, that is also the needs to reduce packaging rubbish and strengthen environmental protection. Therefore, food, consumer goods packaging materials is changed, lightweight has become a trend. And there is already some thin and easy processing raw materials.

Material safety is more needed

 Human pay more attention to their own health.for this reson,the requirement to the cleanness and safety of the packaging material is more strict.For example,rencently,more and more client require the manufactory to provide a certificate of packaging material with the authority,in some countries,the enterprise even requirements packaging material suppliers to provide the material on human sensitivity test projects.

Production equipment efficiency

With the improvement of science and technology, all kinds of new products and new packaging equipment appear constantly, so the production concentration and automation of the consumer goods enterprise has been continuously improved, the packaging equipment are developing toward the large scale, quickness and advanced efficiency, automation. Therefore, as a packaging manufactory should keep pace with the new development trend, and offer the customers the material with flexible adaptability,higher production efficiency .For example, in chocolate, ice cream and some thermal sensitivity products packagings, low temperature sealing materials is gradually replacing the traditional heat sealing packaging materials.

Intelligent packaging materials 

In the diversified modern life, the package people required is not only to protect the goods from damage, but also require it be fresh, anticorrosive, antibacterial, anti-counterfeiting, prolong shelf life  and other functions. So all kinds of new concept of packaging materials and packaging technology arises at the historic moment. For example, in the food packaging,the newest intelligent fresh-keeping packaging film is  successfully developed, it can not only prevent pollution, but also with the function of prevent the sun light exposure and oxidation etc. it even can send warning signal when the package is broken or in a high temperature  At present, the functional intelligent packaging materials still face new problems and technology difficulties, it will be an important research direction for packaging enterprises.
