The work aims to introduce the way of production and processing and application of different kinds of bamboo packaging, and prospect the development of bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) products in the packaging field, so as to provide reference for the development of bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) industry. The characteristics of production processes and properties of different bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) products were summarized, and the application status and existing problems of original bamboo packaging and chemically modified bamboo packaging technology in the packaging field were analyzed. Functional additives could be added in the processing of bamboo packaging materials, or the physical or chemical properties of bamboo substrates might be modified, mechanization and intelligent extension of production equipment can be conducted, to improve the quality and shelf life of bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) products. The wide application of bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) products will inevitably promote the sustainable and high-quality development of the bamboo (as a substitute for plastic) industry, providing reference for improving the quality of bamboo packaging and the safety of internal products.
