Great achievements have been made through 30 years of reform and opening up in China’s development in packaging machinery with the following demonstrations: the high development speed with fast growth in production output, the increasing variety with emerging innovations, the improvements in standard testing and R & D innovation patterns basically formed. But some problems also exist: 1. The sizes of enterprises are normally small while specialization degree is low with old fashioned management ideas; 2. The product technology value is not high with the complete sets of equipment heavily dependent on imports; 3. The design mainly involves imitation by means of surveying and mapping while innovation and development capacity being weak. There still exists great technology gap between China and advanced nations in developments in packaging machinery which does not justify the position of China’s packaging output volume.
