A new survey shows that the annual sales of paper barrel packaging today reach 201 billion yuan. Experts predict that with the increasing demand for paper barrels, the annual sales of paper barrel packaging will reach 250 billion US dollars by 2016 and exceed 800 billion US dollars by 2020 This data surprised all the packaging companies. No one expected that a cheap small paper bucket would have such a huge business opportunity. So, what is driving the continuous increase in sales of paper buckets?

Firstly, the continuous improvement of the performance of paper drums and the gradual expansion of their application fields. After the creative idea of replacing iron with paper was born, scientists have never stopped researching and developing paper barrels. The load-bearing capacity, pressure resistance, moisture resistance, and exquisite appearance of iron hoop barrels have significantly increased, especially in terms of durability, breaking the softness of traditional paper barrels. The new type of paper barrel can bear up to 200 kilograms, meeting the packaging and transportation needs of most items. Currently, it is mainly used for packaging imported and exported goods.

Secondly, there is the decline of plastic packaging. According to data from the past two years, the raw material prices of plastic packaging are increasing year by year, which has forced plastic packaging manufacturers to raise their product sales prices. This has led to many plastic packaging manufacturers cutting corners, reducing costs, and self destructing the Great Wall, giving paper barrel packaging an opportunity to rise.

The clean and hygienic characteristics of paper bucket packaging are the latter. Food industry merchants have been using paper bucket packaging for a long time. Compared to plastic packaging, paper buckets are cleaner, more hygienic, and free of chemical pollution, making them an excellent choice for consumers when purchasing snacks. This is also the reason why paper bucket packaging has been popular for a long time.
