With the emergence of various beverage types, beverage packaging industry is also developing rapidly, after breaking the single glass container monopoly market pattern, metal containers, plastic containers, paper containers have appeared, beverage packaging has shown a diversified development trend. Carbonated beverages and pure water, mineral water drinks after years of market accumulation, the market has been quite stable, Coca-Cola beverage cans packaging classic image can not easily shake, and mineral water drinks want to occupy a certain share in the market, can only make some changes in the design and capacity of PET bottle type, in recent years, suitable for family and catering consumption of 2L packaging quite a market.

1, the development of the beverage industry to promote the technical progress of the packaging industry

In the future beverage packaging market, the unique advantages such as less raw materials, low cost and convenient carrying determine that beverage packaging must be constantly innovated in technology to follow the pace of beverage development. Beer, red wine, white wine, coffee, honey and carbonated beverages such as cans or glass as packaging materials are used. With the continuous improvement of functional films, It is an inevitable trend for plastic flexible packaging to replace bottle containers and be widely used. The green color of packaging materials and production processes indicates that multilayer co-extruded functional films with solvent-free composite and extrusion composite will be more widely used in beverage packaging.

2. Product packaging requirements are differentiated

"More diverse products, requiring more differentiated packaging" has become the trend of the development of the beverage industry, and the development of beverage packaging machinery technology will become the ultimate driving force of this trend. In the next three to five years, the beverage market will develop the existing fruit juice, tea, bottled drinking water, functional drinks, carbonated drinks and other products at the same time, will be low-sugar or sugar-free drinks, as well as natural, milk and other healthy beverages. The development trend of products will further promote the development of packaging differentiation, such as PET aseptic cold filling packaging, HDPE (with a barrier layer in the middle) milk packaging, and aseptic carton packaging. The diversity of beverage product development will ultimately drive innovation in beverage packaging materials and structures.

3, strengthening technology research and development is the basis for the sustainable development of the beverage packaging industry

After entering the year 2000, with the continuous growth of China's beverage market demand, domestic beverage equipment manufacturers will further strengthen their own equipment technology research and development efforts, and began to engage in the development and application of high-end beverage packaging technology. At present, domestic equipment suppliers have made great progress in this regard, and have a strong competitive strength in price and after-sales service. Some domestic beverage equipment manufacturers such as Guangzhou Da Yilong, Lehui Enterprise, Guanglight, South light, new Meixing, etc. highlight their potential and advantages in providing low and medium speed (18000BPH - 24000BPH) beverage packaging line. Its main performance in the very competitive price of the whole line, good local technical support and after-sales service, relatively low equipment maintenance and spare parts prices. It can be said that it is this demand of beverage companies that has promoted the common development and progress of beverage companies and beverage packaging companies.

Beverage packaging will be green environmental protection, profit compression, mergers and acquisitions, brand sales, high-quality high-energy characteristic packaging industry development. How to better develop the packaging industry around the purpose of "safety, health and environmental protection" is an urgent issue for enterprises to consider, and enterprises that deviate from the mainstream direction will eventually be gradually eliminated by a sound market competition system.
