With the continuous development of the packaging market, the single transportation function of corrugated boxes is gradually transforming into a sales function. Meanwhile, consumers' purchasing psychology and aesthetic concepts are constantly changing. On one hand, they have higher and higher requirements for the appearance and beauty of packaging. On the other hand, they also have demands for the environmental performance of products. Only by constantly developing and designing new products that meet consumers' needs can we attract customers' interest and stimulate their purchasing desire. Centering on the functional transformation of corrugated box packaging and the aesthetic trends of customers, the corrugated box packaging market will achieve three transformations in the future.

1. From transportation packaging to sales packaging

With the development of the commodity society and the improvement of consumers' living standards, the demand for corrugated boxes with high strength and good advertising functions is increasing day by day. The requirements for exquisite printing are also getting higher and higher. Corrugated boxes are gradually transforming from transportation packaging to sales packaging, which is also an opportunity for the development of the corrugated box industry.

The trend of consumer demand has put forward higher requirements for the strength of corrugated boxes and cartons. They should be lighter in weight, and printing should develop from single color to multi-color dots. The printed graphics should be clear, beautiful and bright, with strong three-dimensional dots and novel shapes. This puts forward higher requirements for the quality of raw paper and paperboard, printing equipment, ink, flexible plates, etc.

2. From single service to diversified services

In addition, the corrugated box industry needs to continuously develop new products to expand service channels. Under the impact of the global financial crisis, China's packaging industry, an important part of the national economy, is facing huge challenges. Replacing wood, plastic, bamboo and metal containers with paper is the future development direction.

In order to stand firm in the increasingly fierce domestic and international markets in the future, most corrugated box enterprises are gradually adjusting their service targets, improving traditional corrugated boxes and developing new products and varieties. The traditional service targets of corrugated boxes are outer packaging and transportation packaging. We should develop and innovate with the spirit of scientific development and technological innovation, and develop and research innovative corrugated paper packaging products. For example, develop corrugated paperboard pallets, honeycomb paperboard, supermarket shelves, cushioning materials, office supplies, paper toys, paper furniture, etc., to expand the application fields of corrugated paper products.

3. From packaging function to practical function

As a new type of environmentally friendly paper packaging product, folding box and carton packaging has a very wide range of applications. It makes the products look beautiful and is convenient to carry, which is deeply loved by consumers.

Currently, folding box and carton packaging is very popular in the international market. Its promotion will play a certain role in promoting the standardization and normalization of domestic market products. Small assembly folding box and carton packaging is mainly used for the packaging of small-sized and light-weight products such as food, health products, fruits, vegetables, eggs, frozen aquatic products, small household appliances, instruments and meters, toys, etc. This new type of packaging box and carton has many varieties and can provide good protection for products.
