Sunshine Printing Network Hits 1 Million Cartons Daily, Plans Tape-Free Recyclable ‘Sunshine Treasure Box’

According to China Packaging Network, entering Sunshine Printing Network's office feels like a gathering of corporate mascots. Cartons printed with logos such as Tmall's cat, Suning's lion and Tuniu's cow appear side by side, coexisting without clashing. This scene captures the appeal of Sunshine Printing Network.

Sunshine Printing Network is described as China's largest e-commerce platform for printing and customized corporate procurement. To date, it has supplied nearly 100 million custom cartons to tens of thousands of e-commerce companies. Its customers include major platforms such as Tmall and Suning, beauty and fashion retailers such as Jumei Youpin, Chuchu Street and Liren Gou, and logistics and express leaders including Cainiao Network, China Post, Zhaijisong, Xinyi Technology and Best Express.

The company recently announced that daily carton sales have exceeded 1 million units. On its online channel, the Sunshine Printing Network Tmall flagship store—the largest carton shop on Tmall—sells more than 200,000 cartons per day. On average, one out of every 80 cartons on Taobao is provided by Sunshine Printing Network.

This scale demonstrates the company's strength in custom carton production. Notably, it built the carton business from scratch in less than a year. In October 2015, Sunshine Printing Network entered customized packaging consumables; three months later, daily sales surpassed 200,000 cartons. Over the next six-plus months, that figure increased fivefold to 1 million cartons per day.

Customers on One Side, Suppliers on the Other: Sunshine Printing Network Delivers Quality and Value

As a carton customization platform, Sunshine Printing Network connects customers on one end and suppliers on the other, adding a substantial service layer in the middle. Its approach drives disintermediation, reduced manual handling, automation and process standardization. Competitive pricing, strict quality control, strong supply and delivery capabilities, and simple, efficient operation are the four main factors that attract customers.

By accepting large order volumes and integrating many quality suppliers nationwide, Sunshine Printing Network achieves favorable pricing: carton prices are 15% to 20% lower than market prices. Its integrated suppliers are spread across 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China. Shipment can be completed within 48 hours, and sampling to delivery takes five days. In addition, the company's system connects to factories, with on-site staff monitoring all quality indicators such as forming, printing and strength. Its 'Sunshine Enterprise Procurement Platform' allows customized purchasing requirements and can connect directly to enterprise customers' OA and ERP systems, making the entire procurement process fully internet-based. These advantages enable customers to purchase at low cost, with high efficiency and transparency.

Pursuing Low Carbon and Environmental Protection: Sunshine Printing Network Plans to Develop Recyclable Cartons

Beyond expanding business volume, Sunshine Printing Network is dedicated to transforming the packaging industry. It is committed to making cartons more environmentally friendly and low-carbon and will develop tape-free, reusable cartons. Delivery personnel would not need tape sealing; the carton can remain intact after being opened and reassembled, and can be reused as a storage box or shipping box.

Such cartons would let couriers and consumers open parcels easily, turning unpacking into a pleasant, elegant and stylish experience. They would also reduce environmental pollution from non-degradable plastic tape. At the same time, reusable cartons can help consumers enjoy a low-carbon lifestyle with ease and help society reduce resource waste caused by producing new boxes.

The new carton will be named the ‘Sunshine Treasure Box.’ Zhang Hongmei, chairperson and CEO of Sunshine Printing Network, said that sunshine is not only the company's original intention but also its outlook for the industry's future. She expressed the hope that the packaging industry can become more sunny, more environmentally friendly and more convenient, so that couriers and consumers can enjoy a sunshine-like experience.

Fresh from completing a Series C financing round of RMB 350 million, Sunshine Printing Network is growing stronger. With an 'enterprise-level sharing economy' business model built on Internet Plus in the traditional printing industry, it has achieved fruitful results in custom carton business and become a strong partner for many e-commerce and logistics leaders. In the future, Sunshine Printing Network will continue pursuing eco-friendly carton innovation, work with customers to advance new packaging experiences and bring new packaging trends to society.
