Color packaging box "color box" (the original word in English is: FOLDING CARTON) packaging, which is precisely defined as folding paper box and color fine corrugated box made of plastic, cardboard and fine corrugated board. It has the characteristics of light weight, portability, wide source of raw materials, environmental protection and exquisite printing. At present, internationally, especially in developed countries, the definition of "color box" packaging is very clear. Paper box packaging, including food, alcohol, medicine, daily/cosmetics, tobacco, electronic products, etc., belongs to the category of "color box" packaging. From a global perspective, despite the strong challenges of plastic packaging, the color box industry is still growing steadily, and the Chinese market is even more vibrant, becoming the highlight of the global carton market growth.

According to relevant data, China's total printing output value in 2004 reached 280 billion yuan, an increase of 10% over the previous year, of which the packaging printing industry was 89.1 billion yuan (accounting for 32% of the entire printing industry), an increase of 12% over the previous year. In the packaging and printing industry, color box occupies a considerable proportion. It is predicted that the above industries and products that need color box packaging will continue to develop at a high speed of 10%. China will become a big country of color box packaging. With the overall recovery of the global economy, the development trend of the color packaging carton industry has become an indisputable fact that the global consumption demand has increased. Especially in developing countries, the consumption growth brought by the rapid economic development is even more impressive. As a carrier of commodities, the market development of color box packaging for pharmaceutical packaging also shows a sustained growth. For example, in 2004, the color box packaging in the Americas and Europe still grew at a rate of about 3%. In recent years, China has led the Asian color box packaging industry with an average annual growth rate of 18%, and nearly 20% in Guangdong. At present, color boxes are widely used in many fields such as tobacco, food, medicine and daily chemicals, and the demand in the packaging industry is still expanding. As one of the countries with the fastest economic development in the world, China's packaging and printing consumption potential has generated great attraction for global color box manufacturers, and they have entered China to seize the market. The reason why color box can stand out from many packaging materials is that it is not only light, easy to carry, and has a wide range of raw materials, but also in the context of promoting sustainable development, its environmental protection has become the reason to vigorously develop paper packaging. At the same time, green and pollution-free has become the new direction of enterprise development. In addition, due to the fierce market competition, the external image of commodities becomes more and more important in marketing. More and more enterprises realize the importance of color box packaging for promoting brands. The use of color box and color printing technology has become the best choice for the external image packaging of goods. With the rapid development of printing technology, more and more colorful color boxes will appear in front of the public, helping to improve the competitiveness of goods. Therefore, in the future, color box printing will continue to meet the demand of fully displaying the characteristics of promotional goods under the market economy conditions from the research and development of new technologies and the application of new equipment, and will also develop rapidly with the trend of sustained and rapid development of China's economy. Undoubtedly, the growth rate of China's color box packaging will lead the Asian color box packaging industry. China will become a big country of inkjet printing in the production and use of color box packaging, and the color box industry will have an extremely bright prospect.
