Plastic products, food packaging of choice

Although the rapid development of plastic processing technology, food industry, packaging plastic drum has many advantages, but most users do not have enough knowledge of plastic packaging barrels, and some users even think that the steel drum is better than plastic packaging Barrel packaging. Then let us from the price, production line, stacking three to compare the difference between the two:

    Price issue

Relatively speaking, the price of plastic barrels is more stable, and the price of steel drums are affected by the impact of steel market prices and fluctuations.

In China, food companies have not yet formed a large enterprise oligopoly business, many small and medium-sized food enterprises, in the follow-up process automation is not high, which for enterprises to use plastic packaging possible, therefore, can be expected, China's food packaging Will be in the small and medium enterprises to be applied. And gradually expand its application ratio.

    2. Filling production line to adapt to the problem

In the adhesives, sealants, coatings industry, the food industry international strategic management consulting firm ChemQuest Group believes that in the absence of significant cost reduction circumstances, it is difficult to promote all the food industry to use a new type of packaging containers, if the use of steel drum Type packaging containers, the food industry operating costs are bound to increase, and for enterprises, the cost of transport will directly affect the increase in the effectiveness of enterprises.

    3. Stacking of steel drums

Another problem with steel containers is stacking height. Industry experts point out that when the storage temperature increases, all steel packaging containers will find surface variants. To make the steel drum container to solve this problem, you must pend the traditional cylindrical container design, the use of square design. But if the adjustment of each plant of each filling line to adapt to the square container, the transformation cost is very alarming.

After comparison, we can see that although the steel drum packaging has been used in the food industry has a hundred years of history, but with the current shortage of iron and steel resources in the world, steel prices have gone up, increasing the use of steel drums food business production costs, and this part of the rise The cost will eventually be passed on to the end consumer to lead to another rise in food prices.
