Packaging mainly refers to the containers, materials and auxiliary materials used in accordance with certain technical methods to protect products during the circulation process, facilitate storage and transportation, and promote sales. With the development of the economy, my country's packaging industry continues to develop. At the same time, the market has also put forward higher requirements for packaging materials, which has promoted the development of packaging testing equipment.
In order to ensure the realization of the protective function of packaging and the realization of other specific functions, the performance of packaging materials, such as plastics, must be tested. In particular, the current market's requirements for packaging for food and medicine are increasing, and the demand for packaging testing equipment will grow rapidly in the next few years.
World-class packaging and printing companies are accelerating their development in China by means of absolute holdings, new wholly-owned production enterprises and holding companies, and mergers and acquisitions of superior Chinese companies. They have brought new ideologies and domestic packaging companies are aware of the crisis and huge In order to improve the competitiveness of their enterprises through various channels, many enterprises realize that product quality is the life of the enterprise and an important guarantee for the survival and development of the enterprise. Product quality is valued by more and more companies. One of the important aspects of improving product quality is quality inspection. Regular inspections at the quality inspection department cannot fundamentally solve quality problems, and inspection costs are expensive. Therefore, many companies set up their own quality inspection departments, purchase inspection equipment, and conduct self-inspection anytime and anywhere. The demand for experimental equipment has entered a period of rapid development.
The State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) has put forward updated requirements for the safety of flexible packaging for food and drugs. It has promulgated 35 new pharmaceutical packaging materials standards. SFDA also plans to include 150 pharmaceutical packaging materials in the 2005 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China. This means A few years later, the government included pharmaceutical packaging materials in drug management. In 2003, the State Council launched the Food and Drug Reliability Project, and the State Food and Drug Administration was officially listed. The local administrations of various provinces, cities, and localities are also intensively carrying out renaming, merging, adjustment, and establishment of the system. The development of the above situation can obviously be expected that food packaging and cosmetics packaging will gradually be included in the scope of registration management.
All of the above have put forward real demand for the development of packaging testing equipment, but the overall level of domestic testing equipment is 10-15 years behind the international level. The main gap lies in the testing accuracy and service level. This gap cannot be shortened in a short while, but domestic companies have been working hard. They continue to invest in research and development, and put professional, series, and cost-effective instruments to the market, making it possible for the rapid growth of test instruments.
According to the requirements of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the National Food Safety Supervision System, the monitoring of food contaminants and harmful factors in the future will cover all county-level administrative regions, and the food safety testing industry is facing huge development opportunities. Since the guarantee of food safety relies on the monitoring and supervision of the entire industrial chain from food production, processing, and sales, there is still a lot of room for development in the strength of food inspection in my country, the establishment of outlets, and the equipment.
