一次性塑料杯的禁用，也代表著其他市場的機會。將會有許多替代方案，譬如說，自備飲料杯子，提供可多次使用杯子之租借，但目前看來主流的替代方案會是淋膜紙杯容器。依經濟部統計全台紙容器產值從2020年的152億成長到2022年的187億，2023年紙杯的成長預計會落在15%~20%。因應紙杯市場大幅增長之需求，廠商要如何提升生產效能是一大課題，如何從淋膜機、印刷機、撥紙機、紙杯成型機等形成一個自動化一條龍的生產線為業者之關鍵

Packaging is everywhere, as a result much waste has been generated from packaging. Packaging has always played an important role in people’s lives, and we are inseparable from it. The question now is how we can continue to use packaging but at the same time minimize the waste generated from using it so that it does not compromise our future generations. To enjoy the convenience that packaging brings to people, to minimize the impact it has on the planet and to provide the packaging supply chain with reasonable profits. Sustainable packaging can be approached in two ways, one is to use biodegradable material that can disintegrate in the environment, another way is to make packaging recyclable.

In parts of the world, the Rotogravure continues to be the dominant printing process adopted. The main reason is due to the fineness of the print. To the rotogravure, a 175 Lpi (line per inch) print resolution is a common standard, both achievable and stable. However, this is not the case back then for flexography. Flexography was printing at 100~120 LPI resolution. This made a major difference between the two processes as the fineness of the print can be easily identifiable by the naked eye. It is not until recent years, with the introduction of the CTP plate-making process, flat-top dots, and other technologies that leapfrogged the flexographic process. To allow 175 Lpi, even up to 200 Lpi resolution to be possible on the flexography process. In this article, we will be discussing why some industries are adopting flexography better than others? What are the main reasons that are preventing printers and converters to adopt flexography in some regions of the world?
