Chinas metal packaging classification and the difficulties faced

Metal packaging The main product categories:

First, the metal plate printing

According to incomplete statistics, about 800 metal printing presses nationwide by 2003, and another 300 coating machines. Including Indian iron machine imports and domestic accounted for half of the coating machine made a larger proportion of domestic machine. The printing machine is mostly monochromatic and double color. Recently, Baosteel Metallic Coating Co., Ltd. of Shanghai Baosteel Group introduced the production line of fully automatic and high-precision six-color printing iron in Germany, which helped to promote the improvement of the domestic printing technology and equipment for metal plates.

Second, two and three drinks cans

China's original 22 aluminum cans, basically foreign-owned or Sino-foreign joint ventures, of which 6 have discontinued or not started. The original 26 production lines, due to oversupply in the market, cut off 7, the existing 19 in operation. Production capacity of about 110-120 billion, the current market demand is only about 7 billion. Although there is great potential to dig, but the further expansion of aluminum two-piece cans market depends on the degree of domestication of aluminum increased. Basically still rely on imported aluminum, spend a lot of foreign exchange.

China currently has about 300 pieces of three beverage cans using tin as raw materials (about 60% imported from abroad), 40% of which are high-speed production lines of 800-1200 cans per minute and the rest of which are medium-low-speed production lines with an average of 400 cans per minute. The total annual production capacity of nearly 200 million cans. However, the current actual consumption demand is only about 6 billion cans. Blind introduction caused serious oversupply. Two and three beverage cans will inevitably have room for development in the future as the economic growth and people's livelihood improve. It is suggested that relevant departments should be careful not to introduce blindly, and idle equipment in the eastern region should be transferred to the west.

Third, aerosol cans

Aerosol canister technology in China is widely used in the field of insecticide, chemical, cosmetics and rural areas in general, and has been newly developed in the fields of food, air fresheners and medicine. The output of aerosol cans has grown from 30 million in the mid-1980s to 560 million in 2002. In 2003, stimulated by SARS, the demand for aerosol cans soared to 610 million cans. It is a rapidly growing category of metal packaging. Demand is expected in 2005 will reach 800 million cans, the product is still room for development.

Fourth, all kinds of caps

Metal caps include aluminum easy-open lid, anti-theft lid and tin open lid, crown cover. At present, China has more than 150 imported stamping production lines. Such as crown cover: different types of equipment production capacity of 110,000 per hour, respectively, 140,000, 270,000 range. Annual production capacity of various types of caps more than 75 billion, the actual market demand of about 50 billion, oversupply.

In all kinds of cap market, Wuxi Huapeng Jia Dobo cap Co., Ltd. unscrewed lid, the cover of the Shanghai Purple Spring Packaging Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Nanshun, Taicang Xingda aluminum easy to pull the lid, Shandong Li Peng Aluminum anti-theft lid, Zhejiang Yiwu and Chang Hung and Fujian Zhangzhou Hang Lung packaging tin cans have a wide open cans are representative of the majority of the products used in food cans industry.

Five, miscellaneous cans

The company is located in:

Miscellaneous cans mainly refers to the canned solid food, stationery, medicine, toys, gifts and other standard cans used in a variety of special-shaped cans. Export packaging process gift boxes are the main varieties of metal cans exported from China. The current market demand of about 5 billion or so. It is estimated that the output of miscellaneous cans in 2005 and 2010 will reach 6 billion and 8 billion respectively. The enterprises that produce miscellaneous cans, on the other hand, may have profit margins in the high-tech enterprises.

Six, chemical barrels

Chemical barrels mainly refers to the small bucket of 1-18 liters below. Mainly used as raw material food, chemical coatings and paint, lubricants and other transit packaging, its output in recent years, strong growth, the end of 95 the end of 1985 than the end of an increase of 16.2%, is expected to end 15 production will grow 58.2%, reaching 68 Billion only.

Seven, canned empty cans

According to incomplete statistics, about 4 billion cans of tinplate can be used for a long time, which will greatly promote the growth of exports and domestic sales.

Eight, steel drums

At present, the production capacity of 35 liters - 200 liters drums has reached more than 80 million and the market demand is 60 million. The emergence of 200-liter plastic barrels, canned vehicles, and bulk shipping exacerbated competition in the steel drum industry. Despite this, the output of vats will still be 17.75% more than the output of the end of September 5 at the end of the 95th. With the great development in the chemical and petroleum industries, it is expected that there should be a substantial growth in the future.
