Dear Member: Your proposal titled "Proposal on Improving National Food Safety Standards for Children Aged 3–14" has been received. After consultation with the State Administration for Market Regulation, we reply as follows: I. Current Status and Progress of Work In recent years, our Commission has consistently implemented the "four strictest" requirements, taken "preventing risks, protecting health, promoting development" as its work orientation, and advanced food safety and nutrition and health work in a coordinated manner. A total of 1,750 national food safety standards have been issued, including general standards, product standards,

The full title of Decree No. 24 is the Provisions for the Administration of Drug Package Inserts and Labels. It mainly regulates the content of labels and package inserts on drug packaging rather than the packaging materials themselves. The core provisions are as follows: What must appear on the packaging. Labels and package inserts: drug packaging must bear printed or affixed labels as required, and the smallest sales package must be accompanied by a package insert. Prohibition on inserted materials: no text, audio-visual or other materials introducing or promoting the product or the company may be included inside the packaging

Early new consumer brands relied on visual impact to create an “unboxing surprise” — a gorgeous box, the ritual of peeling away layer after layer, a carefully designed inner structure — these were once the core weapons for brands to build a first impression with consumers. But consumers in 2026 are rewriting the rules through their actions. What they value is no longer the wow of that opening moment, but what the packaging can still do after it has been used. Part 01 The era of “unbox and discard” is over. Over the past ten

Food packaging: Shuanghui Development obtained a design patent for a “packaging bag (Kabanos sausage)” and filed a patent for a “sesame-paste egg packaging bag,” mainly for food appearance protection and image design. Cosmetic packaging: Proya obtained several design patents, including a “cosmetic packaging box (original color Botan 01)” and a “cosmetic packaging bottle (original color Botan),” covering container designs for products such as lip glaze and lip gloss. Medical aesthetics packaging: Aimeike obtained a

There is currently no unified “eight standards” formulation for packaging quality; different sources give different numbers of dimensions, usually summarized as 5-8 core areas of evaluation. Taken together, packaging quality is mainly assessed around the following aspects: Protectiveness: preventing physical damage (heat insulation, dust protection, light blocking, oxygen blocking, moisture protection), chemical change (oxidation, deterioration, corrosion) and biological contamination (microorganisms) within the shelf life, as well as anti-theft and anti-counterfeiting. Convenience and marketability

1. Policies, regulations and mandatory standards take effect. New rules on excessive express packaging implemented: the mandatory national standard GB 45186-2024 Requirements for Limiting Excessive Express Packaging officially took effect on July 1, 2026, setting out three quantified indicators: Box fit: divided into three tiers by inner item size, with permitted box diagonal multiples of 2.5/2.0/1.5 respectively; Layer control: non-fragile items ≤2 layers, fragile

The consumer market has changed rapidly in recent years, and packaging design is no longer just a shell wrapped around a product — it has become the medium through which brands communicate with consumers at first glance. Drawing on real cases of best-selling products in offline supermarkets and online e-commerce, here are the ten packaging design styles with the highest market recognition in 2026. There is no empty theory here; most are summarized from consumer purchasing preferences and industry implementation feedback. The first is the minimalist natural wood style, which is also a long-standing top design for food and health

China's packaging sector has formed a compliance system with higher-level laws as the overarching framework, dedicated regulations as support and mandatory national standards as the baseline, focusing on safety labeling, excessive packaging governance, green transformation and microplastics control. 1. Core laws and regulations (by application scenario). General compliance basis for packaging: the Product Quality Law: producers must ensure that packaging meets national/industry standards for protecting personal and property safety. The Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests: packaging

The 2026 White Paper on Eco-Friendly Packaging Trends points out that “paper instead of plastic” has moved from “optional” to “mandatory,” and fully degradable materials are spreading faster. Policy drivers: the EU has entered a period of strict enforcement of its plastics ban since 2026, China's plastic restriction order is extending to third- and fourth-tier cities, and Switzerland has also passed a new law requiring a plastic packaging recycling rate of at least 55%. Technological breakthroughs: the cost of fully degradable plant fiber materials has fallen by about 30%, the barrier performance of paper-based composite materials

Cosmo Films has launched a transparent, anti-fog, biodegradable film to meet the performance and sustainability requirements of fresh food packaging applications. The newly developed film is a co-extruded, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with heat-sealable and treatable surfaces. The film features oxo-biodegradable properties and can biodegrade in about 2 to 2.5 years under suitable conditions, and is an advanced material for packaging applications requiring high transparency, sealing performance and effective fog management.
