Packaging is the end point of production and the starting point of logistics, truly achieving a safe link between products and logistics. Guided by the strategy of coordinated development of industrial chains and supply chains, logistics packaging has become an important safety lever in the manufacturing and transportation sectors.

China Packaging Co., Ltd. will continue to give play to its advantages in packaging technology R&D, scientific research and testing, standard setting and green certification, make full use of the Zhongbao brand resources, and lead the development of the industry.

In the view of industry insiders, the establishment of China Logistics Group has a leading effect on optimizing packaging structures, advancing green packaging and accelerating the integration of the logistics packaging market.

In the modern supply chain environment, packaging cannot be discussed in terms of the product alone; the entire logistics and supply chain situation needs to be considered.

The newly established China Logistics Group covers packaging, and is expected to optimize packaging structures, reduce packaging costs and avoid excessive packaging through the integration of logistics.

The entry of the "national team" will, on the one hand, push supporting logistics packaging enterprises to accelerate the application of new packaging technologies and new scenarios, and on the other hand, drive changes in the landscape of the logistics packaging market and speed up the "metabolism" of small and medium-sized logistics packaging enterprises.

Therefore, logistics packaging enterprises must adapt to market changes and rebuild their profitability.
