Current Status and Future of Chinese Gravure Printing (I)

Jiangsu Lianyungang Zhongjin Pharmaceutical Packaging Co., Ltd. mainly provides pharmaceutical packaging and decoration materials for pharmaceutical companies. Existing major equipment: six-color gravure printing machine, double-headed coating machine, dry laminating machine, extrusion laminating machine, three-side sealing bag making machine, middle sealing bag making machine, slitting machine, etc., all imported from Japan.
1. The existing products are divided into two major categories, PTP aluminum foil and SP composite membranes, with an annual production capacity of 1,500 tons. The existing major customers include Xi'an Janssen, Tianjin Zhongshikke, Shanghai Shiguibao, Wuxi Huarui, and Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical. , Guilin Sanjin and other Sino-foreign joint ventures, domestic large-scale enterprises nearly 1,000, and exported to many countries and regions.
Since its establishment, the company’s economic indicators have steadily increased at a rate of more than 15% each year. The third phase of the project has confirmed the introduction of world-class production equipment from the United States, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and other countries, such as eight-color flexographic printing presses, eight-color gravure printing presses, dry compounding machines, and extrusion laminating machines. , Tube making machines, bag making machines, slitting machines, etc., taking full account of the advancement and flexibility of the equipment in the process, such as the application of the sealing scraper system, co-extrusion rogue compound, electrostatic printing, front and back color printing , PCDC coating, cold sealant coating, small-size slitting and other advanced technology.
After the completion of the third phase of the project, 5,000 tons of compound composite materials such as medicinal compound hose sheet material and solid-state lithium battery forming and packaging film will be newly added each year, with an additional sales income of more than 300 million yuan. This is one of the important companies in China for gravure printing companies to provide packaging and decorating materials for pharmaceuticals and pharmaceuticals.
Shandong Tianhong Packaging Color Printing Co., Ltd. is a private enterprise mainly engaged in composite flexible packaging printing. The company introduced 6-color gravure printing machines, dry and wet laminating machines, bag making machines and other equipment from Japan Fuji Machinery, with fixed assets of 38 million yuan. More than 150 employees.
The company pays attention to internal management, external market, and strengthen quality management, and has passed ISO9002 certification. In 2000, its sales revenue exceeded 40 million yuan and ranked among the top 200 packaging companies in China.
The company is now focusing on the packaging of middle-to-high-grade plastic films for seed, detergent, food, beverages, and apparel. Customers in more than 20 provinces, cities and autonomous regions.
Due to the outstanding performance of this company, it has won several provincial and municipal honorary titles in recent years.
Second, due to the development of gravure printing, it has promoted the development of related industries— BOPP film (biaxially oriented polypropylene film, which is one of the indispensable important materials for plastic gravure printing).
At the beginning of the introduction of the gravure printing line, the BOPP films required by the plastic gravure printing companies all depend on imports. Due to the large domestic demand, in recent years, 43 large-scale BOPP membrane production lines with 3.8, 4.2, 6.4, and 8m widths have been imported from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and Bruckner of Germany. The annual production capacity can reach 400,000 tons. At present, there are 8 lines that can be commissioned and put into operation next year, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons. Basically, it can meet the needs of domestic plastic gravure production.
These companies are located in Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Yantai and Surabaya, Shandong, Foshan, Zhongshan, Ningbo, Shunfeng, Yunmeng in Hubei, Baoding in Hebei, Lindian in Longjiang, and Nanjing in Jiangsu.
Especially since the central government cracked down on smuggling in October 1999, BOPP film sales have been very good. At present, the manufacturers of BOPP film are all zero inventory, and the selling price has been rising.
——Gravure Plate Engraving Machine:
At the beginning of the introduction of gravure printing lines, plate making is also an indispensable part of gravure printing. Gravure printing plates are different from offset printing and flexo printing. At that time, there were only gravure platemaking capabilities in Beijing and Shanghai, but processing a set of rollers in Beijing took a month or two. Therefore, many gravure printing companies will have to go to Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore to make plates. This is not only expensive but also takes a long time, and often affects production.
Accordingly, in order to meet the needs of gravure printing production, the country has successively imported 260-270 electronic engraving machines from the Ohio company in the United States and the German company Haier. Among them, Yuncheng Plates Group (Savares Plate Co., Ltd.) has 110 units accounting for more than 40%, and it is radiation-wide.
At present, it basically meets the needs of gravure printing companies. Some platemaking enterprises have good platemaking quality, high equipment utilization rates, and good economic benefits. For example, Dalian Yuncheng plate making company, the equipment utilization rate is over 80%, and the investment rate of return has reached 150. %.
In view of the fact that domestic plate-making capacity tends to be saturated and supply exceeds demand, at present, it has already begun to go abroad. For example, the Yuncheng Plate-making Group's newly-established plate-making factory in Vietnam has been put into production, and the plate-making plants constructed in the Philippines, Thailand, and Ukraine will also be put into operation next year.
- Adhesives:
This is also a necessary material for plastic gravure to produce composite flexible packaging.
At present, there are numerous manufacturers engaged in adhesive production throughout the country. The products are mainly medium and low-grade and the competition is fierce. However, there are not many manufacturers that can produce high-quality adhesives. In particular, high-grade cooking bags and solvent-free adhesives are also imported.
It is understood that adhesives produced by Beijing Chemical Research Institute and Jiangsu Jintan Adhesive Factory can meet the needs of plastic composite high-end products. The former is the technology and equipment imported from Henkel in Germany. The latter is the technology developed by the company in cooperation with Shanghai and Nanjing University.
Take Jintan City Adhesive Factory as an example. The factory was established in 1984. It is a specialized manufacturer engaged in the research, development, and production of adhesives in the country. It mainly produces polyurethane adhesives, water-soluble adhesives, and more than 40 varieties of adhesive products. Its advanced technology, a Taiwan company and its joint venture, Taiwan funds, Jintan technology, has cooperated for many years.
The factory has already produced only 5 tons of adhesive annually, with sales of 100,000 yuan, and profits and taxes of less than 8,000 yuan. At present, the annual output has reached more than 2,500 tons, with sales of more than 45 million yuan, and profits and taxes of more than 450 million yuan. There are 4 state-level products, 8 provincial-level products, and 10 city-level technology-based enterprises.
In addition, such as CPP film, vacuum aluminized film, polyester film, and various inks used for gravure printing. Domestically, it has been able to produce one after another. Both in terms of quality and quantity, it can meet the needs of gravure printing production.
In the past decade or so, due to the surge in demand for gravure printing equipment in China, a group of domestic printing machinery manufacturers have been optimistic about this situation and have actively invested in the research and development of various types of gravure printing machines and related equipment, and achieved fruitful results. In addition to replacing part of the import, it also fills the gap in domestic gravure printing machine production.
Gravure presses are divided into Plastic Film type and paper type. Plastic film-type production of more manufacturers, the current major manufacturers include Shaanxi Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., Handan Light Industry, Zhongshan Sunde, Shunde Debao, Xi'an Black Bull, Zhejiang Ruian, Shenli Group, Jiangsu Baonan and other manufacturers. Paper-type gravure printing presses are in the process of development. The printing paper gravure printing machine of Shaanxi Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. has been put into production for many years.
At present, there are many manufacturers of medium and low-grade gravure printing equipment in China, with a width of 700 mm to 1000 mm and a speed of 30 m/min to 50 m/min. The tension system uses friction plates, magnetic powder brakes or magnetic clutches, which are less automated. The width of the mid-range device is also between 700 mm and 1000 mm. The printing speed is between 80 m/min and 120 m/min. The tension system adopts servo motor control. The pneumatic component control replaces the mechanical control. The whole machine adopts PLC central control. Higher degree of automation. (To be continued)
