After China's accession to the WTO, the tariffs on foreign cigarettes entering the country will drop drastically and the licensing system will be phased out. Facing the huge foreign capital, advanced marketing experience, high brand awareness, and low concentration of the brand of Guoyan cigarettes, it has become the biggest weakness of foreign cigarettes after joining the WTO. There are many domestic tobacco companies with small scale and brand concentration. With low market competitiveness and weak market competitiveness, there are more than 100 smoke companies in the country, among which there are more than 30 companies with output below 100,000 boxes, 30 units with 100,000-300,000 boxes, and a total of 300,000-60 and 600,000 boxes or more. More than 50 homes. In 2003, the brand still reached 582, and the largest single-brand sales were only a million boxes. Therefore, in the next few years, the strategic adjustment of cigarette companies will inevitably push for reorganization and move toward unity, and truly form a group of large-group-type enterprises with strong core competitiveness to compete with foreign tobacco giants. With the adjustment of the structure of tobacco companies, brand concentration will be greatly increased, which will inevitably increase the single market share of tobacco packaging. This will make it possible for gravure printing, which is known for printing large-scale orders, to be used. It is believed that the demand for cigarette intaglio ink will also increase. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed companies, Yip's ink, which is also the largest supplier of gravure printing inks, is very optimistic about this market, and has timely developed a special cigarette intaglio gravure paper ink with an industry-leading level to meet the requirements of cigarette pack printing and packaging. The needs of the industry, since the introduction of the market quality has been recognized by many well-known tobacco brands.
On November 10, 2003, Wang Guangya, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, signed the "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control," and China became the 77th signatory country. In March this year, if the National People's Congress adopted the "Convention", then the "Convention" It officially came into force in our country. The impact of the Convention on the tobacco industry is immense, and the 11th article's selection of the words and phrases used for changing the police in packaging and labels, and the requirement that the warning language account for 30% of the main visible area of ​​the packaging may cause the appearance of the domestic cigarette package product. Changes, the reference to the design of foreign brands that have implemented this requirement, will make the design style of the country's cigarettes tend to be internationalized, and the color of the packaging will be brighter and more pure, and the pattern will be firmer. The change of style and the improvement of packaging quality have also put forward new requirements for the intaglio printing ink. The color and various patience of gravure printing ink must also be adapted. Cigarettes as a special food, consumers are very sensitive to odors during the smoking process, and the safety and environmental protection of the packaging are also very important.
In some developed countries, toluene-like aromatic solvents have been banned from food packaging inks. The United States also has environmental laws to control the release of volatile organic compounds. To strengthen competitiveness, tobacco companies also hope to strengthen control in this regard. After scientific demonstration, at the end of 2003, Yunnan Hongta Group also issued a corporate standard for cigarette packaging, which imposes stringent requirements on solvent residues in cigarette packaging. Therefore, ink manufacturers must now develop products that are more environmentally friendly. Although aqueous gravure printing inks have attracted attention as an alternative system for solvent inks, the printing performance and quality are still not up to the standard for solvent-based gravure inks. This is mainly due to the higher surface tension of the water, which makes the ink difficult to wet, slow drying, and the printing effect is not ideal. At the same time, in order for water-soluble inks to be used on gravure printing machines, not only inks and resins require advanced technology, but also existing gravure printing equipment needs to be improved, plates need to be redesigned, and more effective drying ventilation equipment is needed. Because of the use of components made of corrosion-resistant materials, water-based gravure inks have not yet been popularized in cigarette gravure printing. As water-based gravure inks have not yet been popularized. Since water-based gravure inks are not enough to completely replace solvent inks at the moment, ink companies have been working hard to develop new alcohol ester cigarettes that are more easily accepted by the environment. It is hoped that the new alcohol-soluble ink will solve the problems caused by the health of solvent inks and the influence of post-printing solvent residues on the smell of cigarettes. This development has become a trend. It has attracted the attention of some well-known ink manufacturers. Among them, Yip's ink, which is optimistic about the cigarette packaging ink market, has already noticed this problem at the beginning of the development of cigarette bag paper gravure inks. The design of the cigarette packaging ink formula does not contain any limiting components. There are also unique features in printability. In the next few years, China's tobacco packaging products will further develop in the direction of high quality and internationalization. The comprehensive strength of ink companies will be an important factor in the selection of tobacco packaging companies. Changes in packaging companies caused by changes in tobacco companies will inevitably lead to the ink industry. This new competition provides opportunities for companies that are good at seizing opportunities.
