Fengchi Global Factory Tour: Visiting Jinlei Packaging Products (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Deep into the Heart of Southeast Asia: Chinese Entrepreneurs’ Packaging Industry Layout in Thailand

On January 9, 2026, Mr. Xiao conducted an on-site visit to Jinlei Packaging Products (Thailand) Co., Ltd.. The factory’s founder hails from Shandong Province, and the journey of establishing a carton production base in a foreign land is undoubtedly a challenging feat. The factory’s business scope is extensive, covering the production of both color-printed and watermark cartons, reflecting its ability to respond to diversified market demands.

The factory operates with extremely high efficiency, with its current plant space already in a state of extreme saturation, necessitating the use of automated finished product storage systems to cope with the growing capacity and limited space. As the new factory building is not expected to be operational until the second half of the year, the space utilization rate of the current facility has reached an unprecedented high, indirectly reflecting the strong demand for high-quality packaging products in Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian region.

Factory Overview and Production Workflow

The equipment selection strategy in this highly efficient factory is particularly noteworthy: all equipment, whether new or used, is exclusively Chinese-made. This decision is underpinned by a deep trust in the robust strength of China’s printing and packaging industry and its global expansion trend.

In the production process of color cartons, the intelligent high-speed flute laminator is the crucial first step. The factory utilizes an intelligent high-speed flute laminator provided by Guangdong Fengchi, specializing in the lamination of large-format color cartons. The inspection team observed the Fengchi flute laminator in operation, noting that its efficient and precise performance is fundamental to ensuring the quality of subsequent color printing and die-cutting. This is not just a display of equipment but a vivid example of the successful application of advanced Chinese manufacturing technology overseas.

Why the Fengchi Flute Laminator Was Chosen

Factory management selected Fengchi for several practical reasons:

• High throughput and reliability: servo-driven systems deliver consistent speeds for large-format runs.
• Precision for color cartons: accurate registration and stable adhesive application are essential for high-quality litho-laminated boards.
• After-sales and parts availability: proximity to Chinese suppliers simplifies spare parts and technical support.
• Cost competitiveness: Chinese manufacturers offer strong price-to-performance ratios for tiered factory budgets.

All-Chinese Equipment Strategy: Rationale and Implications

The factory’s exclusive use of Chinese machinery—whether new or used—illustrates broader market trends:

• China’s printing and packaging industry has matured into a full-service ecosystem (R&D, manufacturing, parts, service).
• For overseas Chinese entrepreneurs, sourcing domestic equipment simplifies logistics and technical communication.
• The global export footprint of Chinese post-printing equipment supports cross-border installations and training.

Conclusion and Outlook

The success story of this Thai carton factory is a microcosm of the globalization wave of China’s manufacturing industry. It not only showcases the entrepreneurial spirit of Chinese business owners overseas but also proves the global competitiveness of Chinese-made equipment, especially high-precision, high-efficiency machinery like the Guangdong Fengchi high-speed flute laminator.
We thank Guangdong Fengchi for providing Chinese printing and packaging enterprises with an overseas window to the world and for offering domestic packaging factory owners valuable international insights. As Chinese manufacturing continues to upgrade and expand globally, more exciting industry developments will undoubtedly emerge.
