core tip: according to the latest statistics of Smithers peel Institute, the packaging market value using digital printing technology reached US $10.5 billion in 2015, and about 107billion A4 paper packaging products were printed on digital equipment. In the next four years, the growth rate of the market scale will be about 2 times, and the market value will reach US $19.8 billion in 2020. Driven by Foshan high tech Zone, the latest statistics of Smithsonian spear institute show that in 2015, the packaging market value using digital printing technology reached US $10.5 billion, and about 107billion A4 paper packaging products were printed on digital equipment. In the next four years, the growth rate of the market scale will be about 2 times, and the market value will reach US $19.8 billion in 2020

according to the research report, there will be two trends in the application of digital printing technology in the packaging field in 2016. In terms of digital printing, inkjet digital printing will continue to maintain a significant growth rate, gradually surpassing the market share of laser digital printing in the packaging field; In terms of product application, in addition to a large number of label products using digital printing, corrugated boxes, cartons and flexible packaging products will gradually adopt digital printing

inkjet printing has become the first choice for enterprises.

lead screw: from the perspective of printing equipment, digital printing equipment is divided into two camps: laser digital printing machine (digital electrostatic photographic printing machine) using liquid ink or toner and inkjet digital printing machine. Although in the packaging market, the printing volume of products that use laser digital printing to transform vertical experiments into horizontal experiments still takes the lead, the gap between the printing volume and inkjet digital printing is gradually narrowing. The internal substances of oil cylinders can be cleaned with oil and the oil with suitable viscosity can be replaced. In 2017, the proportion of the two will be basically the same. In 2018, inkjet digital printing will surpass laser digital printing and occupy a dominant position

laser digital printer has good printing effect and is widely used in label products, but it is limited to narrow width printing, which makes it inferior to inkjet digital printing equipment. Ink jet printing generates ink drops according to the signals related to the image, which are sprayed onto the substrate through a high-precision nozzle. The whole process will not be affected by the substrate. With its advantages of high quality, wide format, high production capacity and low cost, inkjet printing is more suitable for the printing of packaging products and will become an important substitute for laser digital printing equipment

accelerating the expansion of digital printing application field

in the application of packaging products, label products were the first to adopt digital printing. In 2015, its market value accounted for 80.5% of the packaging product field, and its scale accounted for 93.5% In the next four years, the leading position of labels is not expected to change, but other sectors, such as corrugated boxes, cartons and flexible packaging, will also become an important market for digital printing equipment. The survey report shows that the global printing equipment manufacturers are developing new printing equipment to meet the growing new demand. Some new equipment has begun to enter the market, while others will be officially unveiled at this year's drupa printing exhibition

at the German packaging industry digital printing conference held in September last year, Smithers spear Institute conducted a questionnaire survey on the participants. 33% of the respondents believed that digital printing technology had great potential to be explored in the field of flexible packaging, and 27% of the respondents were optimistic about corrugated boxes and folding cartons. With the wide use of variable data printing labels, the digital printing supply chain will be gradually separated from the traditional printing supply chain in 2016, and the trend of producing customized personalized packaging will become more and more obvious
