The equipment of the metal container industry mostly relies on imports. Currently, mainstream international equipment has developed towards digitalization, networking, high speed, low consumption, and being more environmentally friendly and humane. However, the situation in which China's main metal packaging equipment and materials depend on imports has not fundamentally changed. It is suggested that the competent authorities of machinery manufacturing pay attention to improving the performance of packaging machinery and equipment, so as to reduce imports and save foreign exchange. Except for tin printing equipment and aerosol can equipment, the introduction of other equipment should be handled with caution to avoid repeated imports.
