With the rapid development of the carton industry, carton machinery enterprises are also rising. Before the 1970s, carton production equipment was operated manually by a single machine, and the production efficiency was very low. In the 1980s, some carton companies began to introduce Japanese equipment, corrugated board production lines, water-based printing slotting machines, circular die cutting machines, etc. Domestic carton machinery companies began to imitate imported equipment. Due to the high price of imported equipment, most domestic carton companies cannot accept it, which opens up a market for domestic machinery and equipment companies. However, the general trend of high-speed, high-tech development of carton machinery and equipment is already clear.

The corrugated board production line introduced by the carton enterprise in the early period (in the 1980s) has been in use for more than 20 years. Some domestic large and medium-sized carton companies have economic and market competitiveness. They need high-quality, high-speed, and wide-width corrugated cardboard production lines. If domestic machinery companies can produce "four heights and one width", they will definitely be accepted by carton companies. Compared with the price gap between the line and the line, the line cannot be afforded without a strong economy, and the domestic line has a lower price and is easily accepted by carton companies. Of course, there are still gaps between domestic production lines and products. These gaps are mainly in terms of structure, speed, material, and processing accuracy. Of course, if we strengthen research and continuously improve, it is possible to spend 8 to 10 years to catch up.

The future direction of the carton machinery and equipment manufacturing industry is to reduce ordinary tile lines and develop medium tile lines. The three-layer tile line and the five-layer ordinary tile line are low-grade products. Due to the slow speed, poor quality and low grade, they cannot meet the market demand and limit the development of carton enterprises. Some companies have used ordinary corrugated lines for too long, and the equipment is aging. Of course, some small and medium-sized enterprises can only purchase ordinary corrugated lines for the time being due to economic conditions and sales restrictions. In addition, different regions should be treated differently.

The single-face corrugating line took advantage of the situation in the 1980s to the early 1990s. As it replaced the manual operation of a single machine, it was adapted to the needs of small and medium-sized carton companies. However, compared with the corrugated board line, the single-faced corrugated line produced soft and poor quality cardboard. , The waste of raw paper is large. At present, a pattern of "centralized board making and decentralized box making" has been formed in various parts of the industry, and single-faced corrugated units will inevitably be eliminated.

Corrugated board production line will be equipped with DE single-sided machine and slitting computer thin blade partial press. The subsequent process equipment is equipped with a high-speed, multi-function, multi-color printing slotting machine, a flat-bed high-speed die-cutting machine or creasing machine, a thin blade slitting and creasing machine, a printing veneer, an automatic or semi-automatic bonding machine and a laser Back-end equipment such as computer engraving machine and flexographic processing equipment.

The development of carton processing equipment is the direction of carton machinery enterprises in the future. The carton production structure is being adjusted, entering a new pattern of chemical division of labor and cooperative production. Newly established carton enterprises in Shanghai basically adopt the mode of purchasing cardboard processing after processing to produce cartons. This model has low investment, fast output, low cost and good benefits. The back process of corrugated boxes is an important part of carton production. After solving the quality of the cardboard, it is the printing, slitting, bonding, and die cutting processes.

From the development trend of the carton machinery industry in the new century, one is to accelerate the development of medium-sized cartons, to develop low-weight, high-strength, and lightweight medium-to-high cartons; the second is to develop flexographic printing, multi-color printing and die-cutting forming cartons; third, The kraft paperboard transport packaging is gradually replaced by the white-printed ox card color printing product packaging, realizing the commercialization and serialization of the inner and outer packaging; the fourth is to develop special-shaped cartons and fine corrugated (DE) corrugated cartons, which are die-cut It is beautiful, generous and lightweight, providing convenience for consumers.
