Novel Coronavirus epidemic on the impact of the paper box printing industry and countermeasures

The impact of the novel Coronavirus (2019-NCOV) epidemic on all industries around the world has many similarities with that of SARS in 2003. However, for the printing industry, the novel Coronavirus (2019-NCOV) epidemic has a greater and more far-reaching impact.Before 2010, the impact of the Internet on the printing industry was not obvious, and traditional printing was the mainstream of the era. During the OUTBREAK of SARS, newspapers and brochures were still the main ways for people to get news. Some enterprises undertook a large number of SARS propaganda materials, which promoted the printing business.In addition, during the SARS period, the dosage of medicine and disinfection chemicals increased greatly, so some packaging and printing enterprises supporting it, such as pharmaceutical packaging plants, plastic flexible packaging plants and other production needs have increased greatly.Therefore, from a long-term and overall perspective, SARS did not cause too much impact on the printing industry.
