由于历史与现实的原因,我国包装工业与发达国家相比,落后了二三十年。标志着包装工业发达程度的包装机械,长期依赖进口。改革开放十余年来,包装与食品机械从无到有、从少到多形成了一定的生产规模。至1993年止,该行业产品开发的科研设计单位有200余家,大专院校设有这方面专业亦达二十多所。尽管如此,我国包装工业的装备自给率尚嫌低下,仅占总额的60%至70%。不足部分只得到国际市场上调剂。而进口设备一次性投资大,价格高,运行成本大,再加上维修、配件供应等困难,实在与国情不符。中国正步入市场经济的社会时代,全社会已强烈意识到包装不仅仅是为了保护商品,实际上 Due to historical and practical reasons, China’s packaging industry has fallen behind for twenty to thirty years compared with developed countries. The packaging machinery, which marks the development of the packaging industry, has long depended on imports. Over the past decade and a half since reform and opening up, packaging and food machinery have formed a certain scale of production from scratch and from little to large. Since 1993, there have been more than 200 research and design units for product development in the industry, and colleges and universities have set up more than 20 professional programs in this area. In spite of this, the self-sufficiency rate of China’s packaging industry is still low, accounting for only 60% to 70% of the total. Insufficient part has only been adjusted on the international market. The one-time investment of imported equipment, high prices, high operating costs, coupled with the maintenance, spare parts supply and other difficulties, it is inconsistent with the national conditions. China is entering the social age of a market economy. The whole society has strongly realized that packaging is not just for the protection of commodities.
