Recently, affected by the rising price of raw materials, all walks of life in China have ushered in difficulties in the process of development. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the packaging industry. According to the database data show that in 2016, the price of corrugated paper in China rose all the way, and by the end of the year, the average price of corrugated paper in China has reached 4,738.33 yuan/ton, an increase of 100 yuan/ton from the previous week, an increase of 2.16%.
On the one hand, under the background of RMB devaluation, the cost of imported pulp has risen; On the other hand, paper enterprises are large users of coal, and the recent rise in coal prices has also brought about an increase in costs. System integration packaging production line manufacturers feel that the more important reason is that the recent state of Henan, Hebei and other places to control pollution enterprises, a number of small scale, poor efficiency of the paper factory closed, resulting in a reduction in paper supply on the market, and Henan is one of the largest production bases of corrugated paper in China. In this context, some paper enterprises have increased prices and hesitated to sell, which has contributed to the price rise.
Professional manufacturers of automated production lines feel that compared with other industries, the packaging industry is relatively lucky, with the progress of human science and technology and the improvement of living standards, in the case of real estate-related industries and export processing industries, express packaging, cold chain packaging, agricultural packaging and other fields will produce new momentum. However, with the corrugated paper from the beginning of more than 2900 a ton to now more than 4700 a ton, the most affected is the printing and packaging enterprises, in recent years, in the case of increased labor costs, corporate profits are weak, and then by the impact of raw material prices rose sharply, enterprises are now generally facing difficulties.
At present, the supply of waste yellow board paper is still scarce, the price or continue to rise, driven by it, the price of corrugated paper will rise or force, small businesses will be overwhelmed, the packaging industry integration industry chain, the development of complete sets of intelligent packaging production line will become the future trend.
