From an international perspective, metal packaging is safe, but there is still room for improvement. With the increase of consumers’ concern for safety and the improvement of inspection methods, the concept of food safety in society is also expanding. The metal packaging industry is required to attach great importance to technology research and development, and continuously develop and improve new products that are conducive to ensuring food safety.

Second, economical. Advanced technology should be used to further improve the competitiveness of metal packaging. Now the packaging industry has entered the era of packaging diversity. Metal packaging, glass packaging, and flexible packaging have developed rapidly in recent years, and technology has improved. In order to demonstrate its own characteristics, metal packaging needs to further adapt to the need for cost reduction of end products in terms of cost growth. For example, in the selection of new materials and material reduction, there is still a large space for cost reduction.
