The application prospects of the new type of packaging film in the transparent film three-dimensional packaging machine are broad, mainly due to its significant advantages in environmental protection, functionality, intelligence and market demand. The specific analysis is as follows:
The demand for environmental protection drives the application of new packaging films
With the enhancement of global environmental awareness, degradable and recyclable packaging materials have become the mainstream trend in the market. If the new type of packaging film adopts bio-based materials or degradable polymers, it will effectively reduce plastic pollution, which is in line with policy guidance and consumer preferences. For instance, the EU's "Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation" clearly stipulates that new equipment sold by 2025 must support the processing of bio-based materials. Such policies have forced enterprises to accelerate the research and development of environmentally friendly packaging films. In addition, the new type of packaging film consumes less energy during the recycling process, further reducing the cost of enterprises and the environmental burden, and promoting its wide application in industries with strict environmental protection requirements such as food and medicine.
Functional innovation expands application scenarios
The new type of packaging film can achieve special functions such as moisture-proofing, anti-oxidation, anti-bacterial and preservation through material modification or composite technology. For example, in the packaging of medicines, packaging films with barrier properties can extend the shelf life of medicines. In the field of food, antibacterial films can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and ensure food safety. These functional advantages enable the new type of packaging film to have differentiated competitiveness in high-end markets (such as health products and fresh food), meeting consumers' higher demands for product quality and safety.
Intelligent and personalized demands drive technological upgrades
With the development of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies, the intelligence of packaging films has become a new trend. For instance, smart packaging films equipped with temperature sensing, humidity response or RFID tags can achieve product traceability, anti-counterfeiting verification and real-time monitoring. In addition, personalized customization demands (such as festival-themed packaging and brand collaboration designs) have driven continuous innovation in the printing process and color expression of packaging films. The new type of packaging film, through the combination of high-precision printing and flexible materials, can not only meet the efficiency requirements of batch production but also achieve flexible production in small batches and multiple varieties, adapting to the rapid changes in the market.
Cost-benefit and market potential analysis
Although the initial research and development cost of the new type of packaging film is relatively high, its unit cost will gradually decrease after large-scale production. Take degradable films as an example. With the maturation of technology, their cost has decreased by approximately 20% to 30% compared to traditional plastic films. Meanwhile, the new type of packaging film can reduce the loss caused by packaging damage, increase the added value of products, and has a significant overall cost-effectiveness. From the perspective of market potential, the global 3D packaging machine market size is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 7.8%. Among them, the penetration rate of new packaging films will increase from 28% in 2023 to over 35% in 2025, especially in high-end markets such as Asia-Pacific and North America, where growth is particularly rapid.
Challenges and Coping Strategies
The promotion of new packaging films still faces challenges such as technical bottlenecks (such as the balance between material strength and degradability), supply chain integration (the stability of raw material supply), and consumer awareness (environmental protection value and price sensitivity). Enterprises need to accelerate technological breakthroughs through industry-university-research cooperation, establish a closed-loop recycling system to reduce supply chain risks, and enhance market acceptance through consumer education. For instance, some enterprises have launched "trade-in" programs to encourage users to recycle packaging films, thus creating a virtuous cycle.
