Chongqing Ideal Packaging Rolls Out 700 kg Load-Bearing Carton as Smart Equipment Enters Commissioning

An Advanced Equipment Line-Up Backs Its Push Toward First-Tier Status

Since its founding, Chongqing Ideal Packaging Co., Ltd. has ranked among the leaders of Chongqing's packaging industry in production equipment, product quality and profitability. It has been named a “Most Competitive Printing Enterprise” year after year and has passed Chongqing's high-tech enterprise certification.

The company is now stepping up the introduction of automated and intelligent equipment and facilities to accelerate the integration of automation, informatization and intelligence, with the aim of joining the ranks of China's first-class packaging enterprises.

On the hardware side, the company runs a computerized high-speed corrugated board production line, carton production lines, a color printing line and a well-equipped testing center. It produces corrugated board, cartons and color boxes at scale, holds ISO 9001:2015 quality system certification and has obtained patented technologies.

The company has also brought in prepress equipment and related software and hardware technologies, together with world-leading German offset presses, folder gluers and box stitchers for printing and post-press operations, keeping pace with demand and innovation across the packaging market.

The carton with a load-bearing capacity of up to 700 kilograms was developed by the company's technology R&D center. Thanks to its combination of performance features, it has become a designated purchase for businesses in Sichuan and elsewhere that pack pressure-resistant goods.

An executive at Chongqing Ideal Packaging Co., Ltd. said the company's products now serve industries including food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, chemicals, machinery, textiles and agricultural by-products, and that it has built sound, long-lasting partnerships with well-known companies such as Midea, Wujiang, Huafeng, Taiji, Kuihua and San'ai Hailing.

To sharpen its management and operational performance, the company has introduced a production management system and a supporting management system, laying a solid foundation for building a smart factory. “Our equipment used to perform poorly, efficiency was low, quality was hard to monitor and production records were hard to trace,” the executive said.

According to the executive, production and operations management can now achieve full-process automation. Business data runs from contract orders to process scheduling, then to the release of production instructions and production reporting; key production equipment and process steps are managed under the system and interconnected with related systems, while prepress digital proofing and color management systems also integrate data and information through the system. This delivers process automation in business management, greatly reduces manual intervention and improves production and operating efficiency.

Heavily invested automated smart equipment at Chongqing Ideal Packaging Co., Ltd. is currently in the commissioning stage and is expected to be officially put into production this year.

The new equipment will raise product quality and efficiency, sharply cutting the manpower a given workload requires, and will allow the company to further expand capacity and serve more customers in the future.
