Today, the fully automatic packaging machine manufacturer leads everyone to take a look at the current market and development of packaging equipment. The development level and research of the packaging industry, as well as packaging design concepts, not only reflect a country's industrial strength but also the civilization level of social and economic life. The packaging equipment industry includes many production fields, such as product design, production, packaging printing, supply of packaging raw and auxiliary materials, packaging machinery, and packaging equipment manufacturing. Packaging products also participate in various links of the primary, tertiary industries, and commodity circulation. Handling, recycling, and reusing waste packaging products is an eternal social responsibility of the packaging industry. Therefore, the development of the packaging industry is closely related to global economic integration and the sustainable development of human society. As a "sunrise industry," the packaging industry will play an important role in the development of global manufacturing and the international circulation of its products. Current Domestic Development Status Strengthening product structure adjustment, improving technological innovation capabilities, and accelerating international integration remain important tasks for the current development of domestic packaging machinery. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China's packaging machinery industry adhered to the principles of "national strategy, industrial development, technological competition, and huge social demand." From the perspective of industrial development, a batch of complex and highly technical fully automatic packaging equipment played an important role in the industry. A number of high-level, innovative flagship products not only meet domestic market demand but also participate in international market competition, selling well both at home and abroad. The development and application of these research achievements have comprehensively improved the overall technical level of China's packaging machinery industry and greatly shortened the gap with developed countries. Taking the path of technological innovation is a major strategic choice for the development of China's packaging machinery technology. In recent years, China's packaging machinery industry has basically formed a technology innovation model centered on large and medium-sized backbone enterprises, supported by research institutions and universities, integrating production, education, and research. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the country proposed an innovation development model, improved the degree of standardization, and provided technical support to promote industrial upgrading. Adjust and optimize product structure. Transform the mode of economic growth and enhance independent innovation capabilities. From quantitative growth to quality and efficiency improvement, from following and imitating to independent innovation, from single technology breakthroughs to technology integration. The packaging machinery industry also actively promotes original innovation, integrated innovation, introduction, digestion, absorption, and re-innovation of packaging machinery, driving the development of products with independent intellectual property rights. Surveys show that the main problem of Chinese packaging machinery is not manufacturing but design. About 80% of the problems lie in the design stage. The packaging machinery industry mainly adopts reference designs, with few independent designs. This design approach makes it difficult to inject technological content and improve design levels. The implementation procedures for scientific research and design in the packaging machinery industry are inadequate, with more emphasis on the level of achievements and less on market effects, resulting in some international scientific research design achievements or national award-winning results not being recognized by the market and unable to be promoted. Therefore, it is necessary to streamline scientific research and design procedures, formulate a new round of scientific research and design standards, enhance independent design capabilities, and strive to improve the level of scientific research and design.
