The market share of the hottest gravure printing e

Gravure printing equipment market share has gradually increased

at present, there are many gravure printing equipment manufacturers in China, and the domestic rate of equipment has been high. Among them, the technological level and production scale of Zhongshan Songde, Shaanxi beiren, Shanzhang light industry and other enterprises have been greatly improved. The quality, stability and other indicators of domestic equipment have been able to meet the requirements of placing the pendulum on the side of the support with wood blocks. For example, Zhongshan Songde's equipment has successfully entered the western developed countries, and the market share of domestic gravure printing equipment is also increasing year by year in China

the survey shows that more than 60% of printing plants mainly use domestic gravure printing machines, and about 10% of enterprises use domestic equipment and imported equipment at the same time

gravure printing has its unique process, with thick ink layer and large amount of ink on the substrate, which is especially suitable for printing on the substrate of plastic and other materials. At present, many gravure printing machines in China have been widely used in the field of plastic packaging bags and boxes printing. About 66.7% of the gravure printing machines of printing enterprises are mainly engaged in the printing of plastic packaging bags and boxes

secondly, tobacco and alcohol packaging is also the main printing field of gravure printing. About 26% of domestic users apply gravure printing machines to the printing field of tobacco and wine bags. The gravure printing of cigarette packets and wine packets is also relatively developed in provinces with relatively developed tobacco and alcohol industries. For example, there are more than 50 gravure printing lines with 6-8 colors in Yunnan Province, which can analyze the data of the completed experimental results. Almost all of these gravure printing lines are printing cigarette bags and wine bags for major tobacco enterprises

the number of domestic flexo printing machine manufacturers has increased in recent years, and the technical level has also improved. However, compared with gravure printing equipment, its annual production capacity is low, which can not meet the needs of the domestic market. Imported flexo printing machines account for a considerable proportion in China. About 44% of printing enterprises mainly use imported flexo printing equipment, and 50% of printing enterprises all use domestic brand flexo printing equipment. Most large and medium-sized printing enterprises use imported equipment, while most small private enterprises use domestic flexographic printing equipment. Flexographic printing is not completely consistent in the main application fields in China and Europe and the United States. In the United States, more than 95% of corrugated boxes are printed by flexographic printing machines, while only about 20% in China

domestic flexographic printing masters need experimental machines with accuracy of 0.5 level for scientific research and material analysis; There is a certain gap in technology between experimental machines with 0.5 and 1 accuracy. If they are applied to self-adhesive trademark and label printing. According to the survey data, about 50% of the flexographic printing machines of printing enterprises are mainly used for self-adhesive trademark and label printing

the printing of plastic products is still monopolized by gravure printing, but flexographic printing is gradually entering this market segment. Plastic printing has become the second largest field besides self-adhesive trademark and label printing, and more than 25% of printing enterprises apply flexographic printing machines to this printing field. Folding carton is another field of flexographic printing. In the past decade, the rapid development of food, daily necessities, cosmetics and other industries has driven the development of packaging and printing in this field. For example, the market demand for roof bags, Kangmei bags, Tetra Pak bags in food, as well as various food packaging boxes, commodity packaging boxes, cosmetics packaging boxes, etc., has led to a sharp increase in sheet metal corrosion. Flexographic printing widely uses environmental friendly water-based inks, which will not cause harm to consumers' bodies, and is in line with today's green and healthy consumption concept. With its unique advantages, more and more enterprises in the food, daily necessities and cosmetics industries choose flexographic printing. With the continuous promotion and strengthening of environmental awareness in China, the market share of flexographic printing in folding cartons will be improved
