According to Tianyancha APP, Shuangxing New Material has newly obtained an invention patent authorization, titled "A Composite Aluminum Foil Film and Its Preparation Method," with patent application number CN202311768687.9 and authorization date August 7, 2026. Patent abstract: The invention discloses a composite aluminum foil film, composed of a substrate layer and metal aluminum foil adhered to both sides of the substrate layer, wherein the metal aluminum foil is formed by rolling and stretching metal aluminum foil of a first thickness of 5~15μm on both sides of the substrate layer into metal aluminum foil of a second thickness of 3~8μm, a layer of rolling protective film is attached to the outer side of the metal aluminum foil, and holes at corresponding positions are evenly distributed on the metal aluminum foil and the rolling protective film. The invention also discloses a method for preparing the above composite aluminum foil film. The composite aluminum foil film of the invention uses metal aluminum foil of the first thickness as the initial raw material, and after bonding and laminating it with the substrate layer, performs a rolling and stretching operation to convert it into the second thickness, after which no further lamination operation is required.

Not long ago, excessive packaging was widely criticized; today, a packaging revolution is quietly taking place. From degradable materials to minimalist design, from reduced packaging to recycling, green packaging is becoming a new competitive arena for brands. The state has successively issued standards restricting excessive packaging, pushing the packaging industry to transform toward lightweight and recyclable formats, returning packaging to its essence of protecting goods. Technological innovation empowers packaging. Smart packaging can monitor food freshness in real time, and active packaging can extend shelf

August 6, 2026 — It has been a full month since July 1, when China's first mandatory national standard targeting excessive express packaging, the Requirements for Limiting Excessive Express Packaging, was officially implemented. Recent visits to multiple regions and industry data show that the phenomenon of "big boxes for small items" in express packaging has dropped markedly, but tape abuse and the "bloated" packaging of traditional goods still need further governance, and the industry's green transformation has entered deep water. I. Express packaging: standardization rate rises, while local

New national standard on excessive express packaging officially takes effect: Starting July 1, the mandatory national standard Requirements for Limiting Excessive Express Packaging took effect, setting hard red lines such as the number of packaging layers, box material compatibility and tape width (≤45 mm). Tape exceeding the standard is still observed in current enforcement. Beijing issues China's first local standard for green takeout packaging: On June 15, the Guidelines for the Use of Green Packaging by Food Delivery Merchants was issued, subdividing takeout packaging into simple and sealed

Europe's new packaging rules take effect in August, and glue-free paper packaging technology becomes key: laser heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing and cold-seal coating solutions compete in the market. By 2030, all packaging must reach 70% recyclability, and adhesive residue has become the biggest obstacle to recycling. The three technical routes each have advantages, but conversion costs and production speed remain challenges. As regulation tightens, companies are accelerating their transformation — how to balance environmental protection and profitability? Europe's new packaging rules will take effect in August, and glue-free paper packaging technology is being tested in Germany

Packaging laws and regulations mainly involve restrictions on excessive packaging, labeling and marking rules, metrology management and green transformation requirements.

Those that do not

Key industry trends Greening of materials: mono-material, high recycled content and bio-based materials are accelerating the replacement of traditional plastics, and "true degradability" has become the compliance baseline; reusable boxes, narrow-width tape and direct shipping in original cartons have become logistics standards. Digital-intelligent design: AI empowers packaging structure optimization and personalized customization, blockchain traceability codes are becoming widespread, and packaging is upgrading from a container to a brand data interaction touchpoint. Functional experience: emphasis on "sensory unboxing" and convenience (such as easy-to-open

Key policy and regulatory developments China's new national express delivery standard takes effect: from July 1, the "Requirements for Limiting Excessive Express Packaging" took mandatory effect, stipulating that packaging for ordinary goods must not exceed 2 layers and packaging for fragile goods must not exceed 4 layers, with strict control of tape usage and box fit.
