Electronic Information Product Packaging (2)

It is understood that Guangdong Kelon, Midea, Gree brand air conditioners, plans to produce about 4.5 million units this year. In order to integrate with the international market on packaging, it will also replace EPS foamed plastic liners with honeycomb paperboard, and has begun to try on some models of cabinet air conditioners. Only Kelon is expected to use more than 30 million yuan worth of honeycomb paperboard material this year, and will be promoted for use on other products next year. Changhong Electronics Group, Sichuan Changhong brand air conditioning, rear projection, last year has gradually begun to use paper honeycomb panels instead of EPS foam plastic and wood pallets, after calculation, this year will consume 2 million square meters of paper honeycomb panels. Qingdao Haier Electronics Group air-conditioner cabinet machine, began to formally use honeycomb cardboard packaging materials in January 2002, the current daily use of more than 20,000 square meters. According to relevant information, since the second half of last year, brand air conditioners from well-known domestic and foreign companies such as Hisense, Aucma, Gree, Midea and Others have also adopted paper honeycomb panels as substitutes for EPS cushion materials. Users reported that using paper honeycombs not only reduced packaging costs (the cost of packaging for each cabinet air conditioner was reduced by about RMB 15-20), but also reduced “white pollution” and opened up a popular product for export of foreign trade companies.” Green channel."
Pulp molding, paper honeycomb products save resources, protect the ecological environment, and meet the development trend of international packaging industry material applications. Although there are still some problems in the development of this country in China, we can still see that the pulp molding and paper honeycomb products have a very broad prospect. It will become the mainstream of China's electronic information industry product packaging materials with its unique charm.
The problem of electronic information product packaging can not be ignored
China's electronic information product packaging has made great progress, but at the same time there are some problems that cannot be ignored.
Outer packaging structure design lacks overall design
In terms of outer packaging structure design, some packaging is still not very reasonable. In particular, integrated carton boxes for household appliances are still widely used, which wastes materials and does not achieve optimal protection. In addition, home appliance manufacturers should consider less adjustments for packaging under different climatic conditions. For example, the dry areas in the north and the rainy areas in the south have very different moisture-proof requirements for packaging. At present, large-scale household appliances in China are almost the same in terms of packaging, and they have not adopted measures such as moisture-proof and rain-proof, and they are completely unchanged, resulting in wet conditions. In the climate, some of the boxes are damp and soft, and the protection performance is greatly reduced. This situation has also occurred on the packaging of exported electronic products. In addition, some companies emphasize one-sidedly the reduction of costs, the use of raw materials of low quality standards, the quality of paper can not be guaranteed, the carton can not reach the intensity, the goods arrived in the hands of consumers when there is damage to the carton.
Low use of environmentally friendly materials
First of all, buffer packaging is still using EPS plastics in large quantities and does not meet the requirements of environmental protection, especially in the packaging of exported electronic products, which may cause adverse consequences. Taking color TV as an example, China consumes about 30,000 tons of EPS plastic per year, and it is conceivable how striking EPS plastics consumed by the entire household appliance industry are.
China has vigorously promoted new environmentally friendly paper buffer packaging materials such as pulp molding and honeycomb paperboard in the packaging of electronic information products, and achieved certain results. However, some problems have also been encountered in the promotion and application. The use situation is not optimistic. The main reason is that the pulp molding products have their own problems: if the resilience is poor, the structural design, mold design and production and processing capabilities are still far from Adapt to the needs of electronic product packaging, especially large household appliances. Some of the more advanced foreign countries such as laser cutting and molding multilayer paper cushioning products have not yet appeared in the country. At present, although there are many kinds of new types of cushioning material products developed in China, most of them have defects of one kind or another, and it is difficult to adapt to the market product packaging. Demand.
Secondly, wooden pallets are still used in large quantities, and the development of wood for woodworking is not very smooth. Taking the packaging of two product tubes and color TV sets as an example, according to incomplete statistics, the disposable wood pallets consume about 100,000 cubic meters of wood per year (including disposable wooden pallets for glass bulbs). Although various plastic trays, steel trays, and honeycomb paperboard trays are used, they are not ideal. Plastic trays and steel trays are mainly expensive and difficult to recycle. When paper honeycombs are used to make products such as trays and packaging boxes, the overall technical level of the production process and production molding is poor, and the degree of automation of the production line is low, especially in the molding process. Almost manual operation has made it difficult for the honeycomb products to achieve standardization and serialization, thereby affecting the operation support of the entire production line on the assembly line. And its price is also high, users are more difficult to accept.
Again, honeycomb paperboard and pulp molded articles also suffer from poor water and moisture resistance. After a long period of transport, especially in a high-humidity environment, the strength of containers, trays, and cushions that have become damp after weakening will not be able to withstand the impact and sway, resulting in damage.
Price is the forerunner, quality is the guarantee, and service is the cornerstone. This is the root of the business operation. However, some production companies have poor awareness of business services, quick success, shortsightedness, and low level of management. They not only do not pay attention to product quality, exaggerate hype, and shoddy, but also do not pay attention to after-sales service. Problems arise after the product is sold, and cannot be based on technology and technology. Such aspects as giving users timely solutions, causing adverse effects.
At the same time, there are not enough policies and regulations formulated by the competent government departments, so many users are still watching and waiting for the use of pulp molded, honeycomb paperboard products instead of EPS plastics or wooden pallets.
In short, the electronic information industry has not only become an important pillar industry in China, but also a major foreign trade exporter. How to improve packaging design and improve packaging quality, especially to promote the use of "green packaging" to meet the requirements of the international market, but also the need for joint efforts of packaging manufacturing companies and electronic information products manufacturing.
