Examples include: potato chip packaging bags, wine bottles, jars, chocolate bar wrapping paper. Primary packaging has direct contact with the packaged content. Sometimes the primary packaging needs to be completely removed (for example, sandwich packaging) before consumption; While sometimes, it will stay put (for example, wine bottles). But as far as FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) are concerned, almost all the goods are inseparable from primary packaging.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCe4wQbtRCmMgRedrUSDtcweAIdjcE6RltOiFY-6gbiAdHx3_Ncp9xFWwKoKv2ddvjbGPaKbmqh7G7iQM2F8qLks-MDWmrQ8VlmbX-Zpie4VZ-GeDObMQZsB4OJoaQNc6x-qzw1WFNd0E/s781/primary-packaging.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Primary Packaging of Products" border="0" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="781" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCe4wQbtRCmMgRedrUSDtcweAIdjcE6RltOiFY-6gbiAdHx3_Ncp9xFWwKoKv2ddvjbGPaKbmqh7G7iQM2F8qLks-MDWmrQ8VlmbX-Zpie4VZ-GeDObMQZsB4OJoaQNc6x-qzw1WFNd0E/w400-h270/primary-packaging.jpg" title="Primary Packaging of Products" width="400" /></a></div></div></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">What is secondary packaging?</h3>Secondary packaging is the one over the primary packaging of the product.

Under normal circumstances, fragile goods should be protected both inside and outside before shipping. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR8ovIt8EoU199g54j3IHLnUGv-A-khN22K1Vut-sBHwb7BfQB_nmkHN9H-M3-9Y2tzEsj-rnZLgKgYNDOJ4liahclPSyUsEBpUW1hwEkeNlnjXDz3GdT-cMHoCsEUzQxRnDuvUfc93a4/s600/Best-Packing-Material-for-Fragile-Items.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Best Packing Material for Fragile Items" border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="600" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR8ovIt8EoU199g54j3IHLnUGv-A-khN22K1Vut-sBHwb7BfQB_nmkHN9H-M3-9Y2tzEsj-rnZLgKgYNDOJ4liahclPSyUsEBpUW1hwEkeNlnjXDz3GdT-cMHoCsEUzQxRnDuvUfc93a4/w400-h283/Best-Packing-Material-for-Fragile-Items.jpg" title="Best Packing Material for Fragile Items" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">How to packing fragile items?</h3><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>External packaging</b></h4><p>External packaging, usually cartons, is the protective packaging that goes around outside of the fragile items. This is the most commonly used and necessary way to avoid damage to the fragile items in transit. The outer packaging cartons should have strong compression resistance and non-deformation ability, and can effectively protect fragile items from damage during normal storage, stacking, and transportation.</p><p>However, outer packaging cartons are from enough to protect fragile items. Various happenings such as bumps and shaking will inevitably be encountered in transit(You can't expect porters or warehouse worker to treat your fragile goods with special care amid mountains of boxes). </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Inner Cushioning</h4><p>Therefore, internal cushioning for fragile products is extremely necessary. Simply put, the function of the inner packaging is to isolate the fragile product from direct contact with the packaging carton, and fix it to prevent it from shaking in the box. Therefore, many people choose cushioning filling packaging materials as protective packaging materials for fragile products. Cushioning packaging materials can return to the original shape (or approximately) in a short time after being subjected to external impact, This can further provide a buffering effect and protect the fragile items from damage by shaking, bumps, vibrations, etc.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">What's the best packing material for fragile items?</h3><h4 style="text-align: left;">Features an excellent internal cushioning packaging material needs to have: <span><a name='more'></a></span></h4><p>1. Sufficient cushioning. Needless to say, as it's why it's needed there.</p><p>2. Low price. The packing material must be cheap, because the amount used for filling protection must not be small. If the material is too expensive, it will be for the merchants There is no benefit at all. </p><p>3. Light weight. Many express logistics companies often calculate the cost based on the weight of the goods when transporting the goods. If the buffer filling protection material is too heavy, it will increase the transportation cost, and the gain is not worth the loss. </p><p>4. Easy to store. Packaging materials like this kind of cushioning filling must be easy to store and convenient to use, so that the product cannot be packaged and delayed for delivery due to one or other reasons. </p><p>5. Non-toxic. Cushioning filling packaging materials are generally used in conjunction with packaging cartons. From the completion of packaging to unpacking again, the transported products are basically in a closed state with slow air flow. Such packaging materials produce certain harmful substances, which will cause very serious consequences.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">What's exactly the best packing material for fragile items?</h4><p>Things like EPE, foam, inflatable bags and <a href="https://china-packaging-boxes.blogspot.com/2019/09/what-are-packing-peanuts.html" target="_blank">packing peanuts</a> are all great cushioning materials. But no single packing material seems to be the right answer, as it largely depends on what fragile items it is to pack. For example, to ship fresh eggs, paper mache eggs cartons/holders (as shown below) are the best packing material.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzW5FkEyLbRbYZ1sUx-74natNc20IA4CCwidCuQNOSldHDIedV20Q0SrynOeU7FmD84unbBvgyG0W7wMOGfbvv_Ldwy3yWoDp3FFrav-CN13XnjvZrWetgdmsLO3njcGc5jJ7IHVUzezc/s981/paper-mache-eggs-cartons-holder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Paper mache eggs cartons" border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="981" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzW5FkEyLbRbYZ1sUx-74natNc20IA4CCwidCuQNOSldHDIedV20Q0SrynOeU7FmD84unbBvgyG0W7wMOGfbvv_Ldwy3yWoDp3FFrav-CN13XnjvZrWetgdmsLO3njcGc5jJ7IHVUzezc/w400-h314/paper-mache-eggs-cartons-holder.jpg" title="Paper mache eggs packing holder" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Best Packing Material for Eggs</div><p></p>Innove Packaginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13549666247300853660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979229913798862554.post-73244354432279939012021-09-23T18:52:00.004-07:002021-10-10T17:58:11.351-07:00Why Do We Need Food Packaging?<p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">What is the food packaging?</h3><div>Food packaging is packaging for food. It is an integral part of food commodities. One of the main projects in the whole industrial food processing. It protects food and prevents damage from biological, chemical, and physical external factors when the food leaves the factory to the consumer. It also has the function of maintaining the stable quality of the food itself. It is convenient for food consumption. It is also the first impression show of food to make on consumers...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbloV9oTRisCamgtJIYQlvX6fynLmC2CjIIZtlM7qXWyU2887IiA8uNqE8CutjCGlbPs1-2B_Xnfym381OoBzVqOUYTPWCNuxD3Xjcjp31HOqlPL6SyvxExxWe3jDUpDT-d3AZr0eGVc/s960/food-packaging-boxes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Food Packaging Boxes" border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="960" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbloV9oTRisCamgtJIYQlvX6fynLmC2CjIIZtlM7qXWyU2887IiA8uNqE8CutjCGlbPs1-2B_Xnfym381OoBzVqOUYTPWCNuxD3Xjcjp31HOqlPL6SyvxExxWe3jDUpDT-d3AZr0eGVc/w400-h234/food-packaging-boxes.jpg" title="What is the food packaging?" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why do we need food packaging?</h3><p>Proper packaging of food will bring great convenience and benefits to producers, storage and transporters, sales operators and consumers. In a nutshell, food packaging can achieve the following direct effects:</p><p>(1) Protect food and prevent food spoilage. </p><p>Through scientific and reasonable selection of packaging materials and packaging technology, the food is separated from the surrounding environment, thereby eliminating environmental factors (oxygen, humidity, light, temperature, and microorganisms) on food. Avoid physical and chemical changes in the food, ensure the stable quality of the food in the circulation process, and extend the shelf life and storage period of the food.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>(2) Prevent food from being contaminated by external microorganisms and dirt. </p><p>The circulation of food from the factory to consumers is very complicated, and there are many possibilities for contamination. The most frightening thing is that secondary contamination by pathogenic vaccines such as Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium botulinum will cause food poisoning to consumers. Therefore, reasonable and hygienic packaging can completely eliminate the possibility of external contamination.</p><p>(3) To rationalize food production and save labor. </p><p>Food packaging has become increasingly mechanized and automated. This not only saves labor, but also reduces the possibility of pollution during packaging operations and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the packaged food produced by mechanized and automated production is more uniform and standardized than manual operation, which provides favorable conditions for the design of transportation packaging structure, and also provides favorable conditions for the standardization of transportation and storage.</p><p>(4) Improve the rationalization and planning of food distribution and management</p><p>Fresh foods such as fruits, vegetables and fresh fish meat, etc., can be packaged to extend their storage period, which provides the possibility of long-distance transportation and expands the scope of sales of fresh foods, which has produced great economic and social benefits. , To promote the planning of food business.<span></span></p><!--more--><p></p><p>(5) Promote the commercial value of food goods.</p><p>The food that's been properly packaged with appropriate packaging design is provided to give consumers a sense of hygiene, nutrition, deliciousness and safety, thereby enhancing the value of food and effectively promoting food sales.</p><p>(6) Tampering resistance.</p><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">What is food packaging material?</h3></div><div>Food packaging materials include paper, bamboo, wood, metal, enamel, ceramic, plastic, rubber, natural fiber, chemical fiber, glass and other products used for packaging and holding food or food additives and coatings that directly contact food or food additives.</div><div>Food packaging needs to have characteristics such as airtightness, corrosion resistance, light resistance, high and low temperature resistance, shock resistance and drop resistance, but no single packaging material can have all these properties. Therefore, when choosing food packaging, it is necessary to determine it according to the food packaged.</div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">How to package a food product?</h3></div><div>That'll be a long story and it varies large with the types of food. Simply put, all food products are generally automatically packaged. There are various food packaging machines or automated conveyors to choose from.</div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Where to buy food packaging boxes?</h3></div><div>Food packaging is an extremely important part of the food products, so never slight the choice of food packaging. Where to buy food packaging boxes? If you need small quantities, maybe you'd better look locally. So you can verify the quality and reliability easily. For large quantity order, you should source in China. Food packaging boxes manufacturing is well developed here. There are a lot of good suppliers among which you can select the one that best suits your need for quality, price and design, etc. Innove Packaging is one of the custom cardboard food packaging boxes manufacturer that you can trust.</div><div><br /></div>Innove Packaginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13549666247300853660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979229913798862554.post-81978046377600137462021-09-12T19:21:00.006-07:002021-10-10T17:58:22.911-07:00Zhejiang bans the use of non-degradable plastic packaging from 2022<p> Recently, Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission of China issued a notice on the public solicitation of opinions on the "Zhejiang Province Express Mail Excessive Packaging Management Work Plan (2021-2022)".

The loss of capital favors has further exacerbated the downturn in pulp futures. In the hardwood pulp market, the low domestic paper and paperboard prices and the imminent release of new capacity for bleached hardwood pulp have caused buyers to destock. Market sources said this has caused suppliers to continue to cut prices.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwiaRnVZj1x9FG7JmkKKokzDAQ5sCBN3er8n05PjE24xLLyk27zZh_XcAODsKyknIGNwQN7dZKrYkUQg3ecmHpC3EsrvWPWMgs3xnST4vDq3BbwBEdvyYoBwU57SStS75lsVAzG3rOL4/s450/cardboard-food-gift-boxes.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwiaRnVZj1x9FG7JmkKKokzDAQ5sCBN3er8n05PjE24xLLyk27zZh_XcAODsKyknIGNwQN7dZKrYkUQg3ecmHpC3EsrvWPWMgs3xnST4vDq3BbwBEdvyYoBwU57SStS75lsVAzG3rOL4/s16000/cardboard-food-gift-boxes.png" /></a></div><br /><div>Due to the weak operation of raw material prices, the price trend of base paper will also be under pressure again. As the market enters September, I thought it would usher in the traditional peak season of "Golden Nine and Silver Ten". After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are just around the corner, and the "Double Eleven" shopping festival is closely followed, which can be said to be one year. The most popular time period for orders in China. But looking at the market, the response is mediocre. The downstream market demand seems to fall short of expectations. The demand orders for Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and other festivals are digested too quickly, and the new orders are just a drop in the bucket.</div><div><br /></div><div>And in the current situation where the demand for orders in the market has not increased, the entire market is slightly dull. Given the imbalance between supply and demand of market demand and new capacity, will this year continue to be "Golden September Silver October"(Referring to the annual busy season during Sep.- Oct. )?</div><div><br /></div><div>Regarding this question, the market has institutional analysis. From the effective control of the epidemic situation and the data analysis of the consumer environment, according to the restoration space and recovery highlights of the consumption field, it is believed that the recovery time of consumption will occur in October, and its views are listed: Regarding the consumption situation since the third quarter, the service industry PMI data in July showed acceptable performance, and the prosperity of tourism-related industries such as accommodation and catering has improved, showing the driving effect of the summer tourist season on consumption. However, after entering August, both tourism and overall consumption have experienced a short-term decline. High-frequency data shows that the number of subway trips in cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Suzhou has declined this month. "The third quarter of the previous year was the peak tourist season in the country, and at present, students are generally required to return to the school location in advance, which means that the summer tourist peak is over early." said Dong Qi, chief macro analyst at Guotai Junan Securities Research Institute. From the perspective of consumer goods retail, October is the peak season for consumption throughout the year, which may open the next window of consumption restoration."</div><div><br /></div><div>In addition, institutional analysis also indicated that there have been 4 rounds of continuous upward CPI since 2007, and superimposed economic upward, optional consumption performance is relatively better, such as gold and silver jewelry, furniture, cars, etc.; if CPI upward superimposes economic downward, then consumption is necessary It performs better with mass consumption, including food and beverages, daily necessities, cosmetics, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, this is very different from everyone’s traditional perception of “Golden September and Silver October”. It is not only due to the pessimistic expectations of traditional demand during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. If the consumption recovery starts in October as predicted by the agency, the peak season of the packaging industry in 2021 will be delayed again. A month later, for most packaging companies whose profit margins have been suppressed to the limit, does it mean that the revenue expected in the second half of the year will be greatly reduced?</div><div><br /></div><div>With the gradual announcement of the annual reports of various companies in the first half of the year, there have been mixed results in all sectors of the industry. We can see that the profit growth of mid- and downstream cardboard and carton companies is not high. If the fourth quarter's financial report is not satisfactory, the 2021 packaging company's year-end report card will be record-breaking ugly in terms of profit.</div>Innove Packaginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13549666247300853660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979229913798862554.post-56888723604861465792021-09-04T22:17:00.006-07:002021-10-10T17:58:53.022-07:00Downstream industry rebounds, pulp futures rose sharply and exceeded the 6,300 yuan<p> Last Wednesday, pulp futures prices surged 5.01% to 6,366 yuan/ton. In the downstream raw paper market, price increase letters are frequently issued, and the rebound in the price of white cardboard still supports the pulp price. At the same time, with the arrival of the Q3 industry peak season, the downstream boom has rebounded. The operating rate of downstream pulp mills is expected to increase, and the market's demand for pulp is expected to increase. In addition, the increase in external quotations has also provided a rebound momentum for domestic pulp futures.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKA1MWbjK8E3JaYLqssR6QWr-PI5uTHXMlGUjOMX8PgV9ZsbJzOXw9GcSVtD03T2RNL2itCXQUvR9blbow0YrPvFAHaWQGKE3jEn4soLRQrEJUyT4w70Smw6L9QWHjATpVoDwBRl_22Mc/s606/paper-pulp-futures-trend.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="421" data-original-width="606" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKA1MWbjK8E3JaYLqssR6QWr-PI5uTHXMlGUjOMX8PgV9ZsbJzOXw9GcSVtD03T2RNL2itCXQUvR9blbow0YrPvFAHaWQGKE3jEn4soLRQrEJUyT4w70Smw6L9QWHjATpVoDwBRl_22Mc/w400-h278/paper-pulp-futures-trend.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p> The analysis believes that the main event drivers come from three:</p><p>First, since entering the third quarter, the wildfire situation in Canada's B.C. province has not been significantly improved. Just one week after Canfor announced that its B.C. plant would reduce its production capacity of 115 million board feet in the third quarter, Interfor also announced that its sawmill in B.C. was facing the risk of shutting down due to local wildfires and raw material supply problems. According to current information, Interfor expects to cut at least 50 million board feet of production capacity in August. Depending on the changes in weather conditions, there may be further production cuts and shutdowns in September.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p> Second, the downstream white cardboard and household paper issued price increase letters to stimulate shipments. Take the white card as an example. In August and January, four companies of the three major groups, which accounted for about 85% of the domestic white card paper market, issued price increase notices at the same time. Starting from August, the price of white card and copperplate card paper increased by 200 Yuan / ton. The bottom price guidance letter was issued at the end of June; it rose 500 yuan in mid-July, and another 200 yuan was raised at the beginning of August. The willingness of leading paper companies to keep prices supported the pulp prices on the disk.</p><p></p><p>Third, in August 2021, Canada's first-class bleached softwood pulp was quoted at US$890/ton, which was stable at the previous round. The trend of overseas suppliers to cut prices has stopped. This also released a relatively positive market signal.</p><p>In the short term, there will be some resistance in the 6500-6600 line. The real terminal demand in the peak season will be tested later.</p><p>Entering the third quarter, the paper package industry will usher in the industry’s historical “golden nine silver ten” stage. Generally speaking, market demand and the number of orders will increase significantly by then. With the advent of August, the price of whiteboard and corrugated paper will rise first, 50- Although the increase of 100 yuan/ton was relatively small, it still caused a large reaction from the downstream packaging industry. On August 1, many paper companies including Cotai Group App (China), Bohui Paper and other paper companies issued price increase letters again, announcing that they would increase product prices ranging from 50-200 yuan/ton from August 1. The paper industry announced an opportunity to shut down.</p><p>As upstream paper companies announced price increases, cardboard factories in some areas have also begun to issue price increase letters following the increase. The price of cardboard in Anhui, Shandong, Hubei, Henan, Jiangsu and other places increased by about 3%. The price of national waste has also rebounded significantly, with the highest increase of 50/ton today, and the waste paper index 2245.24, an increase of 0.12% from the previous month.</p><p>At the same time, the recurrence of the domestic epidemic also brought volatility to the paper price trend in August. On the one hand, the recurrence of the epidemic will lead to an increase in the production and transportation costs of the paper bag industry; on the other hand, the recurrence of the epidemic may affect the consumer market, thereby affecting the end demand of the paper bag industry.</p><p>In addition, from the perspective of the import situation of corrugated paper in the first half of the year, the cumulative import volume of corrugated paper from January to May 2021 is about 1,306,100 tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.18%. It is not difficult to predict that in the next period of time, imported paper will still be restricted by factors such as sea freight price increases and tight shipping schedules in the second half of the year, which will further weaken the impact of imported paper on domestic paper prices and help ease the pressure of domestic paper price competition. .</p><p>Regarding the future trend, Guotai Junan Futures believes that downstream white cardboard and household paper issued price increases to stimulate shipments, which will provide certain support to the pulp market. Short-term pulp market transactions will still be relatively rigid, and spot offers for standard products fluctuate slightly with pulp futures. Under the influence of bullish conditions, stabilization is expected to be strong.</p>Innove Packaginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13549666247300853660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979229913798862554.post-67712480635721063202021-08-27T05:02:00.002-07:002021-10-10T18:00:07.308-07:00Soaring shipping costs hit cardboard import! How China's Waste Ban impact on global paper packaging industry?<p>Global trade trends and interactions between economies are one of the factors that have led to some structural market changes occurring on a global scale, and China is at the center of this topic in many respects. In the past few decades, China's influence as a global trading partner has been unparalleled. Specifically, China's waste paper import ban has structurally completely changed the global flow of waste corrugated cardboard boxes OCC, and has formed a new global investment "hot spot" in the cardboard industry.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtb9GeVQblDYBkYTJqb_7BsWUIonUWBgNmIKthtovGuEOcGksFxHEchQomUX5qxGbcYJHWBRkjsGdlUWf9-kbV_xO_5LORwCQHPev_JXORBTrolipZUj_8XQJpcN8oqFi0Fl8P2tIYGhA/s600/China-waste-paper-import-ban.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="436" data-original-width="600" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtb9GeVQblDYBkYTJqb_7BsWUIonUWBgNmIKthtovGuEOcGksFxHEchQomUX5qxGbcYJHWBRkjsGdlUWf9-kbV_xO_5LORwCQHPev_JXORBTrolipZUj_8XQJpcN8oqFi0Fl8P2tIYGhA/w400-h291/China-waste-paper-import-ban.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Waste paper import ban reshapes the global paper industry chain</h3><p>In 2020, China's paper and paperboard output will reach 127MM MT, an increase of 0.8% over 2019. This capacity expansion was mainly driven by the demand of the containerboard market and accounted for more than 60% of the newly added capacity in Asia. China, India, and Malaysia are the top three countries for investment in paper and paperboard capacity in 2020, and their new capacity will be 8MM MT, 1.8MM MT and 0.5MM MT, respectively, as shown in the figure below.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85Du9TSFZHwD4v73xSsqd4k0KzEqxyzhI-TZ8aLJAqtf7be-EdJ96Eo3DTC6BwrOE7KCcnRC37oR-CoY4c0ZohavtLVXBoX_FlOjBRueDH_vmZ4qlcPeLHRYWxEw06gGb8n_EkFog7tI/s576/New-investment-in-paper.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="576" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85Du9TSFZHwD4v73xSsqd4k0KzEqxyzhI-TZ8aLJAqtf7be-EdJ96Eo3DTC6BwrOE7KCcnRC37oR-CoY4c0ZohavtLVXBoX_FlOjBRueDH_vmZ4qlcPeLHRYWxEw06gGb8n_EkFog7tI/w400-h220/New-investment-in-paper.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">China's New Investments in Paper/Paperboard</div><div style="text-align: right;"> </div><p>In 2017, China implemented the policy of a waste paper import ban, which began to affect the global waste paper import and export market. This new policy has also begun to reshape the entire paper industry chain from waste paper recyclers to paper manufacturers in Asia, America and Europe. China implemented this ban to protect environmental resources and citizens' health from high pollution caused by poor quality waste paper.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>As a result, the OCC (the main type of waste paper used in the production of cardboard paper) was severely affected, and the import licenses of many Chinese factories did not meet environmental standards and were eventually revoked, which greatly reduced the number of waste corrugated boxes from the United States and the European Union. OCC imports. At the beginning of 2021, China's OCC import of waste corrugated boxes was completely banned, which affected the total import volume of various grades of paper. The reduction in waste paper imports has increased imports of other grades of paper.</p><p>With the issuance of the waste paper ban, China has also begun to take measures to eliminate unnecessary and harmful plastic waste.</p><p>The anti-single-use plastics policy and the 2021 total ban on waste paper imports have caused manufacturers to scramble to use alternative raw materials—although their long-term supply and quantity remain doubtful. For example, Nine Dragons announced the addition of two new BCTMP production lines supplied by ANDRITZ, including the P-RC APMP (pretreatment refined chemical alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp) technology used in the production of FBB at its Hubei base, and one The CTMP production line provided by Valmet. Lee & Man also announced that ANDRITZ will provide two chemical mechanical fiber production lines with capacities of 1,000 admt/d and 670 admt/d for its Dongguan and Jiujiang plants, and Valmet will provide a semi-chemical pulp production line for its Chongqing plant.</p><p>Due to China's OCC ban and the continuous relocation of China's manufacturing industry, U.S. exports of used corrugated cardboard boxes have shifted from China to Southeast Asia, as shown in the figure below. Fisher believes that after the total ban on the import of waste paper, with the continued impact of the plastic restriction order and the rise of wood fiber packaging, China's demand for wood pulp and other paper products in the market will create stable growth opportunities for the industry.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLJOjAHNqFH0n46Yy_R76FBRVbhKPWxThfut04a3OElQfKr-0sfM0QsH9E_qeFvSd5U0L7j9xmR_UpJwtU_IDbOCHyQ9cZNIMKS-V-S7nNbftS9E_T57Wb3qJ8C3gWoO4coZSceT_HcU/s576/OOC-exports-from-USA.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="576" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLJOjAHNqFH0n46Yy_R76FBRVbhKPWxThfut04a3OElQfKr-0sfM0QsH9E_qeFvSd5U0L7j9xmR_UpJwtU_IDbOCHyQ9cZNIMKS-V-S7nNbftS9E_T57Wb3qJ8C3gWoO4coZSceT_HcU/w400-h176/OOC-exports-from-USA.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Transportation costs soared by more than 400%, impacting the import of cardboard paper</h3><p>In addition, a very serious problem at present is that rising transportation costs continue to affect China's cardboard paper imports. Since the fourth quarter of 2020, transportation costs have soared in the fierce competition of sea containers. However, data from the World Baltic Dry Index shows that the price of January-April 2021 has soared by more than 400%. According to a recent study, ING stated: “With the slow commissioning of new capacity, freight rates are expected to continue to hit new highs this year and remain above pre-epidemic levels in the long term.”</p><p>One of the main factors leading to the substantial increase in freight rates is the imbalance caused by different countries experiencing different demand recovery patterns after the 2020 epidemic. In addition, China’s total ban on the import of waste paper has further exacerbated this imbalance, as hundreds of thousands of return containers per month are no longer required. The huge export demand unsatisfied by China's supply eventually pushed freight costs to the highest level in history.</p><p>For the import and export of China's paper industry, especially the containerboard industry, what impact will this challenge have and how long will it last? China is the world's largest producer of paper and cardboard. Except for box board, all paper and cardboard grades are basically self-sufficient. Last year, China imported about 7 million tons of cardboard, as shown in the figure below. With the comprehensive ban on waste paper imports, China needs these imports as an alternative to continue to drive growing domestic demand, which creates opportunities for containerboard producers in Western countries. However, with record high freight rates now the norm, is this opportunity really profitable?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDsLRNDKUXWegaNX1eLyi_Su0KGxDA9Cke66CcQnTbB7SM1jH0bcfNtvn75Nk7OhJK9C318Jk097qXO1UCBCLuoQiNDD-k9j59PS3iUtCMVrzLod6aF41rAa7kjUmzHG74CdJA191nfyE/s576/2020-china-paper-paperboard-imports.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="276" data-original-width="576" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDsLRNDKUXWegaNX1eLyi_Su0KGxDA9Cke66CcQnTbB7SM1jH0bcfNtvn75Nk7OhJK9C318Jk097qXO1UCBCLuoQiNDD-k9j59PS3iUtCMVrzLod6aF41rAa7kjUmzHG74CdJA191nfyE/w400-h191/2020-china-paper-paperboard-imports.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">China's Paper/Paperboard Imports in 2020</div><p>Compared with its Asian counterparts, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the United States is in a leading position in terms of transportation costs in Shanghai, with a cost advantage of approximately US$100-150/ton. However, given that the recent increase in freight rates between the US and China may be as high as 200%, the cost advantage has been eroded to a large extent. When studying the details of the export of containerboard paper to the Chinese market, we can see that the United States lost its status as the second largest supplier to other countries in the second quarter of 2021, and its exports to China have been somewhat different since 2020. Decline (picture below). However, we can safely assume that if freight costs continue to remain high for a long time, as mentioned by ING, the profit opportunities for US manufacturers to ship containerboard to China will decrease.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyt13YZvKPAQxELoHzEnGSNxLhmcD9p5MJlDilbVOl6MAE6A9_-ru0sD3AfZcZztfHDZSu48ZeSsRAHIgyd2tAVEtxddMGTb1w3bOF-zyr7e7McvsPrgNzYGpeg_oJ4KfR5TnOx1rFw-Y/s576/China-cardboard-import-source-Q2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="278" data-original-width="576" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyt13YZvKPAQxELoHzEnGSNxLhmcD9p5MJlDilbVOl6MAE6A9_-ru0sD3AfZcZztfHDZSu48ZeSsRAHIgyd2tAVEtxddMGTb1w3bOF-zyr7e7McvsPrgNzYGpeg_oJ4KfR5TnOx1rFw-Y/w400-h193/China-cardboard-import-source-Q2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Bi0Pl3U4b3W5LxlUQh7JXoeNGE9bLryoQ7jS01aTaKxJkluNe9XHiBmyg2qMAhKy-qM5HIVQ51a22_dVbpuncU_mQPGpG2YSYmzccWeW9gPhICrJsyENQ7Y43q6mFcYE3O6zqYL6qb4/s576/China-cardboard-import-source-2021-Q2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="276" data-original-width="576" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Bi0Pl3U4b3W5LxlUQh7JXoeNGE9bLryoQ7jS01aTaKxJkluNe9XHiBmyg2qMAhKy-qM5HIVQ51a22_dVbpuncU_mQPGpG2YSYmzccWeW9gPhICrJsyENQ7Y43q6mFcYE3O6zqYL6qb4/w400-h191/China-cardboard-import-source-2021-Q2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Major Cardboard Exporters to China in 2020 Q2 and 2021 Q2</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisfMJE28wT7dWRNVyR8ZWQ7qrFbiGPPicdrLQ1XAcFIV0dFkvc3M4j6USNzGpyk6HLCchwEy49i3v_LtZOetxYVlpBRuOps3dZWOWBqi1Drbkeng29KSCD7oMV2Dc7HBnNSpkDT-sjZ-o/s576/quarterly-cardboard-export-to-china.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" data-original-height="272" data-original-width="576" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisfMJE28wT7dWRNVyR8ZWQ7qrFbiGPPicdrLQ1XAcFIV0dFkvc3M4j6USNzGpyk6HLCchwEy49i3v_LtZOetxYVlpBRuOps3dZWOWBqi1Drbkeng29KSCD7oMV2Dc7HBnNSpkDT-sjZ-o/w400-h189/quarterly-cardboard-export-to-china.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2020-2021 U.S. Quarterly Cardboard Exports to China</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>For Chinese manufacturers who have facilities in the United States for the cardboard industry, more sales efforts in the US market may be needed, because the cost of shipping to China is not as profitable as it used to be.

The diversity of packaged items determines that they have a variety of contents and shapes, either solid, liquid, powder or cream, etc. All commodities, whatever they are made of, they have to go through many logistic processes such as handling, storage, loading and unloading before they finally reach the consumers. During the whole circulation, they are subject to different degrees of damage such as collision, squeeze, damp, corrosion and so on. </div><div>Therefore, how to keep the goods in good condition and minimize all kinds of losses is the first consideration of all manufacturers.

A good packaging not only makes consumers informed of the product characteristics, but also enhances their top-of-mind awareness and goodwill of the brand. The packaging can also give people a sense of beauty through the shape, reflecting their cultural values. Some packaging boxes themselves can even be deemed as works of art and encourage people to enjoy and collect.</p><p><b>(4) Sanitation and Anti-contamination</b></p><p>Packaging is to pack all kinds of items in specific containers. After packaging, the articles are isolated from external bacteria or toxic substances, and the quality & stability of the goods during circulation is maintained to a certain extent. This function of packaging precisely reduces the secondary contamination. </p><p><b>(5) Grouping and anti-theft function</b></p><p>Grouping means that the same kind of commodity or the same kind of commodity or different kinds of commodities are packaged together in the form of middle package and large package, so that the functions of the packaged product are more complete, so as to achieve one new package of value and use effect.</p><p>The anti-theft function is an extension of the protection function and is a special function designed to prevent the loss of the packaged goods.
