[ppzhan Abstract] Flexographic printing has unique flexibility, economy, and is beneficial to the protection of the environment, in line with the hygiene standards for food packaging. Once it appeared, it was well received by the market, but the development in China as a whole cannot be compared with foreign countries.
Flexo printing is a direct printing method called flexographic printing due to the use of elastic, raised image plates. The flexographic plate is glued to the plate cylinder and the plate is supplied by an engraved metal anilox roll. Due to the flexibility of the flexo plate, liquid or grease inks can be transferred to almost any type of material, and flexographic printing is light press printing.
In recent years, flexo printing is spreading all over the world and is currently mainly used in packaging printing. From the perspective of printing volume, packaging flexographic printing accounts for 90%-92% of flexographic printing, and less than 10% of the remaining printing is distributed in securities printing, pharmaceutical printing and electronic component printing. With the continuous improvement of technologies such as flexo printing machines, flexo inks and printing plates, flexo printing is competing for the gravure market share all over the world.
Flexographic printing has unique flexibility, economy, and is beneficial to the protection of the environment, in line with the hygiene standards of food packaging, which is one of the reasons for the rapid development of flexographic printing technology abroad. However, from the current situation in China, offset printing is more popular, gravure has also occupied a large market in the packaging industry, and the technology of flexographic printing is relatively late, although it has indeed achieved in recent years. Great progress, but there is still a big gap with the international advanced technology.
In 2009, the world packaging printing market was US$440 billion, and the flexographic packaging printing market was US$263 billion, accounting for about 60% of the total packaging and printing market. In the global flexo market, corrugated packaging accounted for 43.1%, flexible packaging accounted for 28%, label printing accounted for 19.3%, folding carton printing accounted for 0.4%, and other non-packaged printing accounted for 9.2%.
At present, the proportion of offset printing in the US printing industry is getting smaller and smaller, accounting for only 1/3 of all printing types, and most of them remain in the printing process of books and periodicals. The proportion of digital printing and flexographic printing is increasing rapidly. It is close to international mainstream technology, especially in the fields of packaging, label printing and other fields. The new data shows that in the world flexible packaging printing market, flexo printing has a market share of 64%, becoming the protagonist in the flexible packaging printing market, which has a relationship with the green environmental characteristics of flexo itself.
There is such a set of data that can explain the problem: flexo flexible packaging accounts for 75% in North America, 82% in South America, and 57% in Europe, but only 10% in Asia Pacific, and only 5% in China. Let us analyze the current situation of domestic flexo development from a global perspective.
In China, the market share of flexographic soft packaging is far lower than the average level of European and American countries. However, China's packaging market is on the rise. The packaging industry has achieved an average annual growth rate of 20% in the past five years. Therefore, whether it is referring to the development track of international flexo printing or the development of the printing industry, China's flexo printing market will have further room for improvement.
It is estimated that by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan, the share of China's flexo printing in the packaging and printing market will reach 20%. In the corrugated box printing, the flexographic pre-printing process will reach 20% of the carton printing market, reaching 50 in the food and pharmaceutical packaging market. %, in the flexible packaging market reached 30%, in the sanitary paper products market reached 50%, in the label printing market reached 25%, in addition, there will be further development space in the primary school textbooks, children's reading materials market.
