　　In recent years,the Chinese printing industry has exhibited a thriving development trend. By the end of 2012, the total number of printing enterprises nationwide reached 104,400, employing over 3.44 million people. China has become a global hub for printing and processing, characterized not only by a continuously rising total output and the prominence of large-scale enterprises, but also by robust growth in digital printing and steady advancements in green printing practices.

　　The concept of green packaging printing underscores the use of environmentally friendly materials and processes throughout the printing process. Its aim is to minimize pollution, conserve resources and energy, and ensure printed products are easily recyclable or naturally degradable at the end of their life cycle, thereby minimizing environmental impact. This encompasses the selection of eco-friendly printing materials, implementation of clean production processes, considerations of product safety, and the recycling and reuse of printed products post-use, all in alignment with environmental standards.

　　Globally, there is an escalating demand for energy efficiency, resource conservation, emission reduction, and safety within the printing industry. Consequently, green printing has emerged as the predominant trend for the sector's future. In China, promoting green printing is pivotal to the domestic printing industry's transformation and upgrading. Given the printing industry's lead in marketization within the news publishing sector and its honing through fierce market competition, Chinese printing enterprises have demonstrated notable cost competitiveness in the international market, expanding their share and showcasing strong adaptability. Domestically, the prosperity of the cultural market and the vigorous growth of the creative industry, coupled with stable expansion in industries linked to the national economy, have opened up even broader market prospects for the printing industry. Under the guidance of national policies, which prohibit the use of harmful raw materials, encourage the establishment of environmentally compliant, energy-efficient, and resource-recyclable projects, and strictly control inefficient and repetitive construction to reduce environmental pollution and cost consumption, these factors are progressively becoming key indicators of a printing enterprise's competitiveness. Therefore, seizing historical opportunities and promptly adopting effective measures to implement green printing strategies, accelerating the transformation of the industry's growth model, is vital for stimulating innovation and upgrading across the entire printing sector.
