Canned packaging should be "soft and hard"

As early as the 1990s, after investigations into the international market, edible fungus companies in China discovered that convenient flexible packaging products are favored by consumers. Therefore, the main producing areas of mushrooms and asparagus in China are mushroom companies in Fujian, Shandong and Yunnan. , Breaking through the packaging forms of traditional glass bottles and metal cans, developed flexible packaging products such as mushrooms and asparagus. After only a few years of development, domestic edible mushroom canned leading enterprises have occupied nearly 30% of the canned edible fungi market in Europe and Japan. This is a great solution to solve the problem of deep processing of agricultural products in China, and to increase the added value of the canned industry in China and create its own advantage brand.

But the problem also followed. For manufacturing companies, it is how to reduce packaging costs. Some companies use more than 100,000 flexible packaging bags each year. When the production volume is large, the daily usage amount can reach 3,000. This kind of flexible packaging bags all go from Japan to vi, which is about RMB 8 per unit. If the market is continuously exploited, the production volume of canned soft packaging will inevitably increase. The demand for flexible packaging bags will increase, and the realization of localized procurement of packaging products will be inevitable.

For example, for the production of canned edible fungus companies, they require soft packaging to be able to spray at high temperatures first, because mushroom foods need to be sterilized by high temperature, so the soft packaging used needs to be able to withstand high temperature spray at 120°C. It also needs strong barrier property. At present, Japanese packaging products can make the canned shelf life of more than one year, while the domestic similar products can only maintain the shelf life of products in 8 to 9 months. Transparency is high, so that consumers can directly see the product, which stimulates the desire to buy. Solve the plastic bag's flexibility is not strong, easy to cause the problem of explosion bags.

Is our soft packaging plastic packaging manufacturing company inferior to people? According to some media reports, high-temperature flexible packaging technology does not exist in China. Some companies use multi-layer co-extrusion technology to co-extrude pe with barrier materials to produce products with the same functionality. This product can determine the thickness of the barrier layer according to customer requirements, allowing the product to have a shelf life of 9 to 12 Months. For cpp and pe composite plastic bags, it is possible to increase the flexibility of the product by adding elastomers. Domestic technology can also be satisfied. Some products can withstand high temperatures around 135 °C, fully able to meet the requirements of high temperature spray.

This shows what? This shows that there is no effective communication between China's food canners and food packaging manufacturers. The users' voices cannot be heard promptly. The suppliers' new technology users cannot understand it in a timely manner. This affects, to a certain degree, both packaging companies and user companies. Interests.

In short, the canning industry should apply both "soft and hard" techniques, and neither can abandon traditional "hard packs" nor ignore "soft packs."
