Development prospect and future development trend of packaging design

The Forecast and Analysis Report on Production and Marketing Demand and Investment of Paper Products Packaging Industry in China issued by Forward-looking Industry Research Institute shows that the number of employees required by color box packaging enterprises and corrugated box enterprises of the same scale is between 2: 1-3: 1, which shows the dependence of color box packaging on labor. Although the automation degree of color box packaging industry is constantly improving, due to the high demand of high-end customers for personalized customization, there are inevitable disadvantages in machine production, such as the high rejection rate of automatic folding and pasting machine. These disadvantages need precise design and skilled labor to make up, which also invisibly forms the soft power threshold of the color box packaging industry.

With the rapid development of paper products packaging industry and even the whole packaging and printing industry, the biggest bottleneck for development is still talents, especially all kinds of professionals, including packaging engineers, senior managers, technical and quality managers in packaging and printing industry. Even though the wages of technicians such as printing captains and ink engineers are very good, there is still a shortage of such talents, which leads to the unreasonable talent structure and professional structure of many paper packaging enterprises and even well-known large enterprises. In addition, professional digital printing companies, online publishing companies, computer photo and inkjet companies are constantly emerging, and the printing industry is gradually developing from a traditional industry to a high-tech direction, requiring a large number of professionals who master modern IT technology.
