According to “industrial production permit regulations,” regulations, next month, all food paper packaging, containers, etc. must sell QS market access being available, unable to obtain access to the production enterprise will fade out.

Daiyue quality monitoring stations, said law enforcement officers, from September 1, the food paper packaging, paper containers for food with the QS Manager of the formal investigation into all the food paper packaging, containers and other market access must be listed QS sales, otherwise they would be investigated.

“As the costumes food and beverage containers, paper cups, quality of the product is safe, very important to consumers. Quality supervision departments will have cup of raw materials used in pulp production enterprises, waxed floor wax, etc. with repeated testing, then, only full compliance of the company to get access, can not get access to the company will exit the market after September 1. “law enforcement personnel, to be included in the first directory of food paper packaging, containers and other products, including packing and containers Class of 21 varieties of two major categories, including food packaging cellophane paper, food packaging, food packaging board, brown paper and, while the food is often used with paper containers, including paper bag, paper cans, paper cups, paper tableware, paper and so on, which usually covers almost all direct contact with food packaging.

“For example, instant noodle bowl, hamburgers, sandwiches and other cooked food like wrapping paper, cookie baking paper, candy, preserved fruits, etc. wrapping paper, tea cake, wrapping paper, tea bag, wrapping paper, the Class of wax paper food packaging, ice-cream wrapping paper, etc., all within the scope of management in QS. “law enforcement officers explained that under the new regulations, not been included in the first directory of food paper packaging, container production permit card company, not the production of the product; any unit or individual may sell or use in business activities without the production license of the product. “Inspection process, we will be in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, investigate and punish those who violate the regulations.”

Here, quality supervision staff to remind consumers buy disposable cups, be sure to look for QS logo. After September 1, consumers purchasing a paper cup not found to QS mark, may be reported to the quality supervision departments. In addition, to carefully review whether the sign package labeled “product name, producer name and address, product performance standards, production date, shelf life” and other countries require labeling of the contents of the label if the contents of cups incomplete or not specification, it is best not to buy.

Food and raw materials into the food trays which can be used insurance, film wrapped, easy to use convenient. PS clamshell trays to its environmentally friendly non-perishable food. Application: All kinds of fresh food, medicine and oral solution, a wide range of specifications, process production, is a good choice of foods. Better application of the general supermarket. With the continued strengthening of ecological awareness and sustainable development become a consensus, the idea for the development and use of food trays provided strong support. In plastic trays processing industry, wood is still occupied by low-cost first. Manufacturers concerned about sustainable development, but more concerned about the price of materials. Return to use of plastic is very attractive, but is still today wooden pallet transportation, distribution, storage, the main force in the industry still occupies a significant position, while the plastic trays is its durability, weight light and to the pallet industry into.
Food trays processing technology takes many forms: injection molding, structural framework, thermoplastic molding, rotational molding and compression molding. These products are increasingly broad market acceptance and recognition applications in food, beverage, medicine, groceries, cars, and the U.S. postal industry.
Easy handling and the cost of wooden pallets has been the focus of attention, the current environmental concerns, renewed use of plastic pallets. Reusable plastic trays is a major attraction. Several manufacturers focus on financial investment in the food tray to produce a low-cost plastic pallets, wooden pallets and have a strong cost competitiveness. Using both the raw materials recovery and waste particles can better control costs. Another advantage of the plastic trays conditions, international trade and transport requirements of the wooden pallet fumigation, to prevent the export turnover in the process of insect transmission. Meanwhile, the world’s first industrial plastic trays system “circle” of the establishment, use of electronic radio frequency identification technology, reusable plastic trays, in use by one-way cost more economical. “Sustainable development issues are front and center issue, it makes plastic tray shows a lot of advantages.” Los Angeles office Regal Plastics materials management, general manager of Bill Mishell stressed. “Said big-day break, the final conclusion, plastic tray cheap, affordable, and I have not seen that company at the expense of economic interests, try to talk about sustainable development.”
Many observers believe that with the increase in warehouse automation, the role of plastic pallets will be more evident. The higher degree of automation, the more demands tray with the reusability and reliability. Compared to plastic and wood, it’s easy to design, stability and light weight are obvious advantages

Number of monomer units connected chain structure of polymers formed, called the linear polymer or a polymer chain. Such polymers can be swollen in the solvent and can dissolve. Thermal softening, and can flow. Most can melt without decomposition, can be repeatedly melted several times. Has good flexibility and plasticity. Most can be extended by cold or roll to increase their degree of molecular orientation. Most of the general linear thermoplastic polymer.

In the “Food Safety Law”, “used in food packaging materials and containers that package food or food additives used in full bloom of paper, bamboo, wood, metal, enamel, ceramic, plastic, rubber, natural fiber, chemical fiber and glass products, and direct contact with food or food additive paint. ”

As food of the “personal clothing”, the safety of food packaging materials will directly affect food quality, substandard food packaging in the course of adverse effects to human health, particularly the health of children and young people will have a significant safety development hidden.

Understand consumer

Plastic preferred “PE” logo

1, to the regular supermarkets to buy the regular product, obtain a copy of notes of evidence in future when the only evidence of complaints or reports.

2, carefully read the product packaging information, including name of manufacturer, production license (QS), production numbers, corporate logos and trademarks.

3, buy fresh film and plastic products, look for product packaging are not specified by the polyethylene (PE) is made of plastic wrap or plastic products, packaging is marked with “PE”, “do not contain PVC” or “can be used for microwave heating,” such a symbol, written material of PVC or do not do not buy as much as possible.

4, pay attention to product use and application and, if inappropriate equipment plastic oil, acidic food.

5, when the food is any plastic film packaging, must not use the microwave cooking or in the steamer, rice cooker heating.

Plugging the new law

Article 27: Food production and operation shall comply with food safety standards and meet the following requirements:

(E) tableware, drinking, and in full bloom with the direct import of food containers should be washed before use, disinfection, cooking utensils, appliances should be cleaned after use to keep clean;

(F) the storage, transport and handling of food containers, tools and equipment should be safe, sound, clean to prevent food contamination and meet the required temperature to ensure food safety and other special requirements, may not be food and toxic, hazardous materials with transport;

(G) directly imported food should be small packets or in nontoxic, clean packaging materials, utensils.

Mention of the packaging, people immediately think of its function to protect goods. In fact, the real charm of the source package is its marketing function. Today, packaging protection in the increasingly weakened, while the marketing functions have gradually strengthened. Packaging has become an important tool for business promotion.
    First, packaging is really attractive
U.S. food company introduced a new chocolate, as with the other company’s chocolate is no different, even if nobody cares about affordable too. Later, the company changed the marketing strategy for the design of portable gorgeous chocolate packaging, candy prominent feature of their gifts will be price increases several times, business has been remarkably good results. The beginning of reform and opening, Hong Kong businessmen to the altar of Sichuan pickled mustard installed a large number of purchase, and then break the large altar, for plastic bag, changed hands sold to other countries, not only doubled in price, but also more popular。

     Shopping bags, paper, or plastic? When every time we go to the supermarket shopping, perhaps we would ask ourselves this question. Paper bags and plastic bags because of the environmental impact of their advantages and disadvantages, and even some environmentalists are also puzzled by this simple choice. Experts say the raw material paper timber, plastic bags, raw materials are crude oil. Americans spend each year for the production of shopping bags, manufacturers need to run out 14 million trees, or 12 million barrels of oil. Air pollution caused by production of paper bags, 70 percent higher than the production of plastic bags.

        However, plastic bags, once produced it is difficult natural degradation, they can exist for centuries, even millennia. Because of cheaper production costs of plastic bags, the U.S. Food and grocery stores usually select them. But San Francisco is limiting consumers to use plastic bags. Starting in April of this year, the city will only allow the use of renewable bio-degradable plastic bags or paper bags. Biodegradable plastic bags in a few months rather than several hundred years ago decomposition. Whether paper or plastic bags, environmentalists advocate is the same: to be recycling to use them. They further pointed out that the best option, of course, the use of a bag, and always bring their own bags.

Plastics are synthetic or natural polymer resin as the main material. After adding various additives, to a certain temperature and pressure with a scalable, can be fixed after cooling the shape of a class of materials. Natural or synthetic polymer resin molecules in the molten state, and around the uniform distribution of additive molecules in a process called plastination, having already achieved this process has been called plastination, and has not yet reached, is considered not plasticized.
Plastics according to their own performance to hours can be divided into: You can repeatedly melt forming can maintain their identity and the underlying thermoplastic and can only carry out a fusion of the thermosetting plastic two broad categories. According to their purpose for the use of a wide range of points can be divided into low prices, better overall performance of General Plastics, such as PE, PP, PVC, PS, and amino plastics have good physical and mechanical strength, it may replace the metal used in construction machinery engineering plastics, such as: ABS, nylon, polyester, POM, TPX-1 and so on. As well as in a fine performance, particularly a class of engineering plastics, such as: sex with a particularly good resistance to radiation, temperature, etc. The specialty plastics, such as: poly aryl sulfone, liquid crystal polymers. Thermoplastic resin according to the size of molecular crystal points, can be divided into amorphous thermoplastic polymers and two types of crystalline polymers.
The main characteristics of plastics are: first, the density of small, high specific strength, get a higher yield of the packaging that “the quality of the packaging unit of volume or package size. Second, most of the plastics chemical resistance is good, there are Good acid and alkali resistance, various types of organic-Rong agents, long-term placement, oxidation does not occur. Third, forming easy to consume less power than required for forming steel and other metal materials. Fourth, with good transparency, easy coloring nature. Fifth, has good strength, unit weight of the intensity of high-performance, impact resistance, easy modification. Sixth, the low processing costs. Seventh, excellent insulation.

Definition bags

Bag is a bag used for packaging of various products, widely used in daily life and industrial production.

Classification bags
Press material is often divided into plastic clamshell bags, cloth bags, paper bags and so on.
By use of terms can be divided into food trays packaging bags, industrial bags and specialty bags.
According to environmental standards, can be divided into green bags and non-environmentally friendly bags.

The development of bag
The development of bags has gone through four distinct phases: the primitive stage of packing bags, big bags stage, the small packets of bagging stage and gradually into the current environmental (green) bags of the new stage. With the development of commodity economy, packaging of the commodity itself, more and more significant, it has become a kind of commodity production is no longer dependent on the particular product, a kind of all commodities can not be separated, and widely used products.

1. Plastic clamshell products produced fused marks of reasons:
1) due to melting the material solidified in the confluence of spearhead part of the cooling of the fused strip without causing marks.
2) due to volatile materials, the air still blocked
3) residual cavity with release agent.
2. Associated with knowledge:
1) using a gate, without the direction of the material from the confluence of the two products generally do not have fused marks, in addition, if the Want to avoid changing the gate can only be fused marks the location of so fused marks are not visible, or appear to occur in the location of eyesore.
2) mold on the pins (in the product on the hole) usually occurs fused marks.
3) has been closed due to air arising from the phenomenon of fused mark is very large, it is necessary to make the air completely escape.
4) it also uses this method: To generate fused marks in a place where the extra sheets in the product, and then then slice Cut off.
5) release agent over molten material Ershi float part of the advance party sent to the cavity, melting occurs certain knot mark.
3. Solution:
1)An instant: Improving injection speed, mold temperature increased to raise the temperature of barrel increase injection pressure.
2)short-term: the increase of gas escape slot.

When choosing foods, many consumers know to look at QS, but the paper packaging, containers have to go through QS certification but are not aware. From September 1,2009, the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine to begin across the country investigated and dealt with without access to food paper packaging, food containers and other products production license the production, sale and use of such acts; same time, “food containers, packaging materials with the additive use of health standards “and” food containers, packaging materials used melamine – formaldehyde moldings and health standards, “” plastic disposable tableware General technical requirements “and a series of food packaging, containers have to implement the standard, these are for food safety plus of a lock.

Paper packaging, the container will be standardized

Teabag filter paper, loaded bread paper bags, fast-food restaurants food boxes in full bloom, the family used to entertain guests disposable cups … … can be seen everywhere in life food packaging paper products presence. According to AQSIQ announced in May this year, “About carrying out food paper packaging, containers and other products production license investigative work without a license notice” be provided from September 1 onwards, paper cups, paper tableware and other food paper packaging, the container must have a QS logo can be in the market.

It is understood that from the beginning in June 2007, AQSIQ has cups, paper tableware, food wrapping paper, etc. there are 21 kinds of national standards and industry standards in food production licensing system for the implementation of paper products. Included in the directory includes not only the consumers commonly used paper bags, paper cans, paper cups, paper tableware, paper boxes, etc., but also paper bowl instant noodles, burgers, sandwiches and other cooked food classes wrapping paper, candy, preserved fruits, medicine balls, of wrapping paper, tea cake, wrapping paper, tea bag of wrapping paper, apples, bananas and other fruit, food packaging paper wrapping paper, etc., are all in the management of the scope of QS.

Dong Lion disclosed that the national standard “one-off cups hygiene standards” have been developed and are currently being National Standardization Management Committee for review.

A number of standard plastic tableware gatekeeper

Light, beautiful, strong and durable plastic tableware, once in winning consumers, especially parents of all ages, however, caused uproar this year, melamine tableware, people generally feel worried about the safety of plastic tableware. “Children are used in small plastic bottles, plastic bowls, and even the spoons are plastic, and now I threw them all.” Consumers Ms Lau told reporters, for fear of glass, ceramic tableware, after breaking injury to the children, she gave the child the use of plastic products, can be seen after the relevant reports have been regretted.
This reporter learned that, since September 1, the “food containers, packaging materials used melamine – formaldehyde moldings and health standards” into effect. The new standard not only provides raw melamine – formaldehyde resin in the recommended conditions, should be the release of substances harmful to health, and any other additives should be added to meet the requirements. Detection of physical and chemical indicators of health, but also increased the amount of melamine monomer migration determination of carcinogens formaldehyde limit value of an older standard for doubled. In addition, the new identification requirements, the more explicit requirements for labeling products materials, and to inform the “food with” and “non-heating in a microwave oven use” packaging requirements should be clearly marked “food with” and indicate the manufacturer , product names, conditions of use, material type and so on.

“Plastic disposable tableware General technical requirements” will also come into effect on December 1,2009, the standard disposable tableware on the scope of a clear definition of: disposable tableware is expected to dining or similar purposes, including a one-time use The lunch boxes, plates, dishes, knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, bowls, cups, cans, pots, straw, etc., but also includes a one-time child care outside the lining tableware, but does not include meals without the expected purpose or similar purposes food packaging materials, such as fresh food trays, yogurt cups, jelly cups and so on. Meanwhile, the technical requirements for such products, testing methods, inspection rules and product identification, packaging, transportation, storage requirements are carried out detailed provisions.

Ink used will also be restricted

Can the fries fell on the food tray pad of paper, which has aroused people’s concern, but to do so, what specific hazards, people do not fully understand. August 1, 2009 come into operation on the “composite packaging with plastic film, bags of dry compound, extrusion compound” will replace “boiling-resistant composite films, bags” and “bi-oriented polypropylene film / low-density polyethylene composite film , bags. ” The new standard will be solvent residue from the original target ≤ 10 mg per square meter was revised to ≤ 5 mg
per square meter, of which benzene solvent residue from the original ≤ 3 mg per square meter per square meter was revised to “0.01 mg ( that is, not detected). This food packaging printing ink standards put forward higher requirements for basic and related standards in developed countries converge on the health of consumers will be more secure.
