Three New Packaging Standards Issued and Implemented

It is understood that previously there were no technical standards for process control of printing product die-cutting,

or box-making at home or abroad, nor were there unified quality data for die-cut, hot-stamped and box-making products. With the rapid development of China's packaging printing industry, unified technical standards are badly needed to standardize production, quality and testing methods in the related fields. These 3 industry standards were formally established as projects in 2007 and, after repeated discussions by the drafting group's experts, experimental verification and extensive solicitation of opinions, were approved through conference review.

The completion of these 3 industry standards fills the gap in technical standards in this field at home and abroad and is of great significance for raising the quality level and forming level of China's packaging printed products, guiding relevant enterprises to accumulate technical data on post-press processing techniques, exploring optimal post-press processing techniques and strengthening the competitiveness of China's post-press processed products in the world market.

Three new industry standards for packaging post-press were promulgated and implemented on June 21.

These 3 packaging post-press process control standards are respectively "CY/T59—2009 Process Control and Testing Methods for Die-cutting of Paper Printed Products", "CY/T60—2009 Process Control and Testing Methods for Hot Stamping and Embossing/Debossing of Paper Printed Products" and "CY/T61—2009 Process Control and Testing Methods for Box-making of Paper Printed Products".

The 3 industry standards were organized by the National Technical Committee for Printing Standardization and jointly formulated by Xingguang Group Co., Ltd., Bobst (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Kurz Stamping Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd., Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Tobacco

Co., Ltd., Henkel (China) Investment Co., Ltd., the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Printing and Decoration Products and other units.

According to reports: the reporter learned from the National

Technical Committee for Standardization that the General Administration of Press and Publication issued the "Notice on Approving and Issuing 3 Industry Standards Including Process Control and Testing Methods for Die-cutting of Paper Printed Products" (Xin Chu Zi [2009] No. 107) on June 21, formally promulgating 3 press and publication industry standards for packaging post-press. The 3 industry standards take effect from the date of promulgation.
