The environmental challenges faced by the small roll thermal label paper industry mainly include the following aspects:
1、 Intense market competition
With the continuous development of the thermal paper industry, more and more companies are entering the market, leading to increasingly fierce market competition. This is not only reflected in the competition of product prices, but also in the competition of product quality, technological innovation, sales channels and other aspects. The fierce market competition requires enterprises to continuously improve their own strength in order to stand undefeated in the market.
2、 Rising raw material costs
The manufacturing of thermal paper requires various raw materials, such as base paper, thermal coatings, etc. In recent years, with the fluctuation and rise of raw material prices, the production cost of thermal paper has also been continuously increasing. This has brought significant cost pressure to the small roll thermal label paper industry, affecting the profitability of enterprises.
3、 Environmental protection requirements have been raised
With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, governments around the world have higher requirements for environmental protection. Thermal paper may cause certain environmental pollution during production and use, therefore, the research and production of environmentally friendly thermal paper has become an important trend in the industry. However, the research and production of environmentally friendly thermal paper require a high level of technology and capital investment, which is a significant challenge for the small roll thermal label paper industry.
4、 Rapid technological updates and replacements
With the development of technology, the technology of thermal paper is constantly being updated and upgraded. The new thermal paper has advantages such as higher clarity, longer shelf life, and better environmental performance. However, the upgrading of technology has also brought new problems, such as the elimination of old equipment, the mastery and application of new technologies, etc. This is a process that requires continuous adaptation and learning for the small roll thermal label paper industry.
5、 Diversified consumer demands
With the diversification of consumer demands, small roll thermal label paper also needs to meet different application scenarios and needs. For example, in the food industry, consumers require thermal paper with properties such as oil resistance, water resistance, and tear resistance; In the medical industry, thermal paper with confidentiality, stability, and other characteristics is needed. This requires the small roll thermal label paper industry to continuously innovate and develop to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
In summary, the environmental challenges faced by the small roll thermal label paper industry include fierce market competition, rising raw material costs, increased environmental requirements, rapid technological updates, and diversified consumer demands. To cope with these challenges, enterprises need to continuously enhance their own strength, strengthen technological innovation and research and development, improve product quality and performance, in order to meet market demand and gain greater development space.
