The work aims to analyze the express packaging research hotspots and trends in China with knowledge graph based on CNKI related literature, providing a reference for subsequent express packaging-related research. The CiteSpace software was adopted and the 110 core documents with the theme of "Express Packaging" included in CNKI from 2014 to 2023 were used as the research object. Through article trend research, core author analysis, article institution analysis, Keywordco-occurrence, clustering analysis, Keywordemergence and other methods, the research status, research hotspots and trends in the field of express packaging were explored. The express packaging-related research in China shows a fluctuating upward trend. Authors and scientific research institutions cooperate closely. The research hotspots mainly include express packaging recycling and shared, intelligent, standardized, and modular green express packaging design. The development trend covers patent protection, packaging design, transportation packaging, recycling, simulation, etc.
