Under the epidemic situation, reducing the cost is a problem in front of all operators. Although in the background of global plastic restriction and plastic ban, it is a general trend and direction to replace plastic with paper. However, recently, the oil price is as low as $20 per barrel, and plastic packaging products have a high cost performance ratio. In addition, with the impact of the epidemic on enterprise operation, there has been a trend of using plastic instead of paper. There is no other reason to reduce costs and ensure the survival of the enterprise is the foundation of enterprise operation this year.
In recent years, natural degradable pulp molding is very popular. In fact, careful analysis shows that pulp molding is still widely used in high-end fields, such as mobile phone industry, apple, Huawei and Xiaomi, and flagship models are the first to be used. In the field of hair dryer, it is the luxury product of hair dryer industry that Dyson is using. Export products are used earlier than domestic products, and the requirements are more stringent. All this is because the cost of pulp molding is still high. In addition to the advantages of environmental protection, strong plasticity and good customer experience, there are also disadvantages such as high cost, improvement of printing technology and manufacturing technology, and great difficulty in supply of super large quantities.
The high cost of natural degradable pulp molding is also a hard constraint for the development of pulp molding industry. Although it has the advantages of environmental protection, strong plasticity and so on, how to reduce the cost and open up a larger growth space for the pulp molding industry is a difficult problem in front of each pulp molding industry.
Pulp molding is a three-dimensional papermaking technology. The raw materials of pulp molding are the same as those of the paper industry. However, compared with the traditional paper industry, the volume of pulp molding industry is too small to affect the raw material price of the industry. It can only be accepted passively, and the cost is basically uncontrolled. We will not discuss it here.
To reduce the cost of molded pulp products, we can only think from the perspective of reducing manufacturing costs.
There are many ways to reduce costs. Let's take a look from the perspective of improving equipment utilization and reducing losses.
As we all know, it is impossible for industrial packaging to achieve the price of egg tray and fruit tray according to the ton price. How can the price of egg tray and fruit tray be so low that profit can be made? There is only one answer, that is, large quantities. After a mold is put on the machine, it can be continuously produced for several weeks or even months, so that various costs are reduced and efficiency is improved.
