Technological innovation is leading industry transformation: Recently,a patent for a "soft packaging layout recognition and defect elimination system and its working method." This system includes layout recognition modules, defect tracking modules, elimination modules, and control modules, utilizing advanced technology to achieve precise recognition of soft packaging layouts and efficient elimination of defects. This will greatly enhance the detection accuracy and production quality of soft packaging, providing robust technical support for automated production in the soft packaging industry.

At the same time, the "no-plate roller transfer printing process and its device for soft packaging" patent . has also gained attention. This process eliminates the need for printing plates and glue, which not only reduces production costs but also improves production quality, stability, and efficiency. Additionally, it significantly enhances the appearance, diversity, and usage range, bringing new breakthroughs to the soft packaging printing field.

Sustainable development has become a core trend: With the growing global awareness of environmental protection, the soft packaging industry is actively transitioning towards sustainability. More and more companies are beginning to use single materials and biodegradable materials for soft packaging production. Biodegradable materials like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are gradually expanding their application in the soft packaging sector to meet consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging.

As a leading player in the industry, PepsiCo is actively participating in the "Soft Plastic Renewal" project, dedicated to establishing a full-cycle system for soft plastic packaging. The company has committed to designing 100% of its packaging to be recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable by 2025 and aims to reduce the use of virgin plastic by 50% by 2030.

Market expansion and growing personalized demands: The application fields for soft packaging are continuously expanding, playing significant roles not only in traditional sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals but also in new energy, electronics, and e-commerce. For example, in new energy battery packaging, soft packaging offers effective protection for batteries due to its lightweight, flexibility, and excellent barrier properties. In e-commerce logistics, the lightweight and customizable nature of soft packaging meets the diverse packaging needs of e-commerce businesses.

Against the backdrop of consumer upgrades, there is an increasing demand for personalized packaging products. Soft packaging companies are responding by offering customized packaging solutions based on different consumer preferences and needs, such as unique packaging designs, personalized printing content, and tailored packaging sizes and shapes, to adapt to brand differentiation competition.

The soft packaging industry has made significant progress in technological innovation, sustainable development, market expansion, and personalized services. In the future, with ongoing technological advancements and continuous changes in market demand, the soft packaging industry will continue to evolve towards a more intelligent, eco-friendly, efficient, and Customizable, injecting new vitality into the global packaging market.
