Flexible packaging refers to the packaging in which the shape of the container can change after filling or taking out the contents. All kinds of bags, boxes, covers and packages made of paper, aluminum foil, fiber, plastic film and their composites belong to flexible packaging.

There are two major categories of flexible packaging, namely, stretch wrapping packaging and various bags. Stretch winding packaging is composed of plastic film that has not yet formed a packaging shape. It is to simply wind the film on one or more products to be packaged and fix it in place in some form. The plastic bag is made into a certain shape before or at the same time of the product. It is common to heat seal the plastic edge to form this shape.

At present, with the continuous improvement of China's national strength, the continuous improvement of the overall industrial scale, and the continuous pursuit of intelligent manufacturing under macro policies, we should promote the development of flexible packaging in China from the consumer side and the supply side. Flexible packaging has become an important part of industrial development.

Flexible packaging is the main force in the packaging industry. Compared with traditional packaging, a single material does not need to peel different plastics during recycling, which greatly reduces the complexity of the process and is conducive to recycling. At the same time, it can still guarantee the necessary functions such as packaging barrier and printability. According to the recycling nature of a single material, it is expected to achieve a recovery rate of 100%, which can be called a "sharp weapon" to promote the sustainable development of the packaging industry. At the same time, the market value of single materials is also expanding, and now single materials have become the undisputed "tuyere" of the industry.

In 2021, the main application fields of flexible packaging in China at present include food, beverage, medicine, cosmetics and other product packaging. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's industrialization level, flexible packaging has become more and more widely used in downstream applications. With the continuous improvement of production technology in China's flexible packaging industry, flexible packaging products are developing to be more lightweight and multifunctional.

From the supply side, in 2020, China's flexible packaging industry was affected by the COVID-19. Under the influence of shutdown, the output fell from 7.326 million tons in 2019 to 7.174 million tons in 2020. With the rapid economic recovery in 2021, the output gradually recovered to 7.279 million tons.

From the demand side, in 2020, the sales volume of China's flexible packaging industry was affected by the COVID-19, and the sales volume fell from 7.032 million tons in 2019 to 6.958 million tons. In 2021, driven by both domestic and foreign markets, the sales volume of the industry increased to 7.06 million tons.

From a global perspective. With the gradual recovery of the global economy, the global consumer demand for packaging materials is expected to grow further. Based on the analysis of historical growth rate, the global consumption of packaging materials will exceed US $1.2 trillion by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 3.9%.

In 2021, P & G independently developed a lighter, more convenient and more reliable green innovative e-commerce package - Air capsule. It is made of 100% single recyclable material (PE polyethylene). It adopts the integrated sealing and tear line structure design, without filling, cartons and tape. It uses air as the core resource to meet the buffer protection needs of express transportation, replacing the combination of traditional carton filling protection. The buffer performance is enhanced and the weight is 40% lighter, while effectively preventing the damage of rain and humidity to the package, When disassembling the express, you only need to tear it along the tear line, without tools. After the air in the package is automatically released, it can be rolled up for recycling, which is convenient and saves space.

The growth of the packaging industry is currently driven by two major trends: global population growth and an expanding middle class. Compared with 7.5 billion people today, the global population is expected to reach 9.2 billion by 2040. At the same time, the global middle class is expected to grow by 66% in the next decade, from 3billion to more than 5billion. People live longer and pursue a healthier and better life.
