Water-based ink can be cleaned with tap water, which is convenient and pollution-free. Realized the first leap in the development of carton printing technology. After the complete set of corrugated box printing equipment has developed into the latest generation of water-based paper feeding slotting printing die-cutting glue box linkage production line, it adopts fully automatic computer-controlled high-speed multi-color printing slotting die-cutting machine, and the giant super large automatic flat-pressing die. The cutting machine and the lower printing machine adopt computer control, leading edge paper feeding, printing vacuum absorption transmission, rubber roller and double scraper compatible scraping system, precision linear guide rail traverse system of slotting part, constant displacement of die cutting part, automatic speed Differential compensation to ensure the same line speed. The entire transmission and transportation connection adopts a keyless connection to ensure long-term transmission accuracy. 2. Global Corrugated Box Printing Equipment Industry Competitive Pattern and Trend Analysis At present, the main manufacturers of the corrugated box printing equipment industry are concentrated in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China. Generally speaking, the production in Europe, the United States and Japan Manufacturers with advanced technology are mainly concentrated in high-end areas. Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers have relatively advanced technologies, mainly in the mid-to-high-end areas, while mainland Chinese manufacturers are relatively backward in technology. However, in recent years, due to the rapid development of China's corrugated box industry , Which has driven the rapid development of China’s corrugated box printing equipment industry. Chinese corrugated box printing equipment manufacturers represented by Dongfang Precision and Shanghai Dinglong began to export mid-to-high-end corrugated box printing equipment to mature markets such as Europe and the United States. The technical level and product functions have been close to those of advanced companies in Europe, America and Japan, and the prices are more competitive, gradually leading China's corrugated box printing complete equipment manufacturers to move closer to the international advanced level. Although the corrugated box industry in major developed countries, including the United States, Europe and Japan, is relatively mature, with high market concentration and slower growth rate, emerging countries represented by China have developed rapidly and the corrugated box industry has maintained rapid growth. The demand for complete sets of corrugated box printing equipment has also maintained a high growth rate. In the next few years, the global market for complete sets of corrugated box printing equipment will become more competitive, the market will be more concentrated, and the division of labor in the industry will be more refined and specialized . 1. Competition becomes more fierce. The rapid growth of the corrugated box industry in emerging countries such as China and India has led to the sustained and rapid development of the local corrugated box printing complete equipment industry. It has accumulated rich experience in product production and design, and has greatly improved its technical level. Some relatively advanced Companies have begun to export complete sets of corrugated box printing equipment to relatively mature markets such as Europe, America and Japan. While achieving fruitful victories, it is also facing fierce market competition pressure. In the face of a huge market, the competition among corrugated box printing equipment manufacturers will become increasingly fierce, especially for low-end products.　　　　 2. The market share is more concentrated, with a few leading manufacturers occupying a larger market share. The technical level, price and after-sales service of the equipment in the future of the complete set of corrugated carton printing equipment will be compared. It requires manufacturers of complete sets of corrugated box printing equipment to have sufficient technical strength and financial strength to ensure product research and development, and requires a certain scale of production to better control costs. At the same time, with the intensification of market competition, higher requirements have been placed on the marketing system and after-sales service system of manufacturers of complete sets of corrugated box printing equipment. Therefore, advanced technology, strong financial strength, effective cost control, perfect marketing and after-sales service system have become the winning elements of the corrugated box printing equipment market. As a result, the market will gradually concentrate on industry-leading companies that have mastered the aforementioned elements. 3. The division of labor in the industry is more specialized and more detailed. Specialized division of labor is a sign of the modernization level of an industry. The deepening and refinement of industry specialization is the general trend. The technical content of the complete set of corrugated box printing equipment is getting higher and higher, and the large and comprehensive production mode will inevitably affect the R&D investment of manufacturers.
