Modern packaging Modern packaging design is equivalent to the late 16th century to the 19th century. With the emergence of industrialization, a large number of commodity packaging has made some fast-developing countries begin to form an industry of machine-produced packaging products. In terms of packaging materials and containers: the horse dung paper and cardboard production process was invented in the 18th century, and paper containers appeared; in the early 19th century, the method of preserving food in glass bottles and metal cans was invented, and the food canning industry was invented.
In terms of packaging technology: in the middle of the 16th century, conical corks were widely used in Europe to seal the bottle mouth. For example, in the 1660s, when the fragrant wine came out, the bottleneck and cork were used to seal the bottle. By 1856, the screw cap with cork pad was invented, and the stamped and sealed crown cap was invented in 1892, making the sealing technology simpler and more reliable. . In the application of modern packaging signs: Western European countries began to put labels on wine bottles in 1793. In 1817, the British pharmaceutical industry stipulated that the packaging of toxic substances must have printed labels that are easy to identify.
Modern packaging Modern packaging design essentially started after entering the 20th century. With the global expansion of the commodity economy and the rapid development of modern science and technology, the development of packaging has also entered a new era.
The main manifestations are as follows:
1. New packaging materials, such as biodegradable packaging, disposable packaging, recyclable packaging and other containers and packaging technologies continue to emerge;
2. Diversification and automation of packaging machinery;
3. Further development of packaging and printing technology;
4. Further development of packaging testing;
5. The packaging design is further scientific and modernized.
