Boosting 'Quality' through 'Innovation': Strong Momentum for High-Quality Development in Beijing's Printing Industry
Beijing's printing industry adheres to the first good standard, takes systematic top-level design as the outline, and under the guidance of relevant policies of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, it continues to cultivate and develop new quality productive forces, and embarks on a high-quality development path with capital characteristics.
Serve the overall situation and ensure the core functions of the capital
Since 2019, the core function guarantee system of Beijing publication printing services in the capital has been officially put into operation, and the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee has identified and released the list of more than 20 "guarantee enterprises" in the first batch, and organized evaluations every year.
In the 2024 annual evaluation, Beijing Printing Group Co., Ltd. received "excellent" evaluation results. As the only state-owned enterprise in the printing industry under the Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Beijing Printing Group Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly in recent years and has formed a large-scale guarantee capacity of about 50 million books per year. Every summer, it is a tough battle for Beijing Printing Group, and we do our best to print textbooks to ensure that "books arrive before class".
Beijing Xinhua Printing Co., Ltd. has printed more than 10 billion books and periodicals, including "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels", "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", "Xi Jinping on Governing the Country", "Selected Readings of Xi Jinping's Works", as well as a series of important books and periodicals such as "Yearbook of the People's Republic of China", "Fuxing Library", "Twenty-Four Histories" and so on. In order to ensure the printing of major tasks and key products at a high level, Beijing Xinhua Printing has set up a special printing center to further strengthen the service guarantee of major activities and conferences of the party and the state.
In recent years, under the overall planning of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, the identification and evaluation of key guarantee enterprises with the core functions of Beijing publication printing services, the evaluation and grading of high-quality development of Beijing publication printing enterprises, the evaluation of high-quality publications and prints in Beijing, and the environmental protection performance rating of Beijing publication printing enterprises have been carried out in an orderly manner. Consolidating the core functions of the capital provides solid support.
Digital intelligence upgrades and explores new paths for high-quality development
In 2024, the "Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of Beijing's Manufacturing Industry (2024-2026)" was released, proposing that Beijing will cultivate and select smart factories and digital workshops in Beijing, cultivate a number of intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and excellent scenarios, set up a number of typical benchmarks for digital transformation, and form a new experience and new model of "Beijing Intelligent Manufacturing" that can be replicated and promoted. Beijing Shengtong Printing Co., Ltd., Beijing Jianhong Printing Co., Ltd., Beijing Artron Art Printing Co., Ltd., and Beijing Dingjia Century Printing Co., Ltd. have all entered this echelon.
In the workshop of Beijing Dingjia Century Printing Co., Ltd., the high-definition camera cooperates with the AI visual inspection system to transform into a tireless "quality inspection expert", instantly capturing ink spots, overprinting deviations and other minor defects with millimeter-level accuracy on the high-speed production line, and automatically sorting and eliminating them. On this basis, Dingjia Century Printing has introduced a digital management and control platform to deepen management accuracy and refine management dimensions, so that production management positions can grasp details faster through digital means, making production operations more efficient, streamlined and transparent. These changes have gradually moved Dingjia Century Printing from "experience-driven" to a virtuous circle of "data-driven".
Nowadays, on the digital screen of the workshop, equipment operating parameters, production order progress, and energy consumption data are beating in real time, which is clear at a glance; Robots accurately handle goods and assist in palletizing; AGV trolley shuttles efficiently to transport materials...... These scenes have become the standard configuration of many printing companies in Beijing.
Green and low-carbon, polishing the background of high-quality development
Green has become the background color of the high-quality development of printing enterprises in Beijing. In recent years, Beijing's printing industry has continued to improve its green development policy system, and coordinated to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth. The Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee has set up the "Beijing Publication Printing Enterprise Green Development Incentive Fund" to support the green and intensive development of Beijing publication printing enterprises.
In order to improve the green ability of the printing industry, the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee organized the environmental protection governance performance evaluation of publication printing enterprises. Through the evaluation, the number of A-level enterprises representing the country's leading level of environmental governance performance increased from 12 in 2023 to 17 in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 41%.

In the factory area, from global LED lighting to centralized ink supply, gas supply and other intensive measures, a systematic energy-saving and consumption reduction system has been formed. The company firmly believes that green is the core driving force of high-quality development, so it invests more than 10 million yuan in technological transformation every year, successfully transforming environmental protection practices into tangible "green profits", and achieving a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.
Technology tempering, domestic equipment manufacturing has emerged
From catching up to going hand in hand, and even surpassing, the innovation of domestic printing technology is surging and powerful in the hot land of the capital.
Beijing Founder Yinjie Digital Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology enterprise focusing on the field of digital printing and a representative of domestic printing technology brands. On the basis of inheriting a series of independent technologies such as laser phototypesetting, remote plate transfer, color publishing system, etc., which made China's publishing and printing industry bid farewell to "lead" and "fire" and ushered in "light" and "electricity", in 2005, Founder Yinjie began the independent research and development of digital inkjet printing equipment.
