From Extensive to Intelligent Manufacturing: How Did This Veteran Packaging Factory Achieve a Daily Capacity of 500,000 Units and Annual Sales Sprint to 130 Million Yuan?

With rising environmental pressures and labor costs, what is the way forward for traditional carton factories? Yantai Shengli Packaging Co., Ltd. has provided a perfect answer through 27 years of dedication and a four-year digital surgery.

This long-established packaging company, founded in 1999, has now successfully transformed into a national high-tech enterprise and is sprinting toward its annual sales target of 130 million yuan.

Soaring performance: Behind the daily capacity of 500,000 units

Stepping into the workshop of Yantai Shengli Packaging, there is no longer the dusty, bustling scene of the traditional impression; instead, the orderly operation of fully automated production lines takes place.

Robust production capacity: Relying on fully automated intelligent production lines, the company has achieved an astonishing daily capacity of 500,000 cartons and 300,000 square meters of cardboard.
Market performance: In just the first quarter of this year, production capacity exceeded 13.5 million square meters, with sales reaching 26.7 million yuan.
Service Areas: Our products are widely used in seven core industries including home appliances, food, pharmaceuticals, and pet supplies, serving as a benchmark in the regional packaging industry.

Four-Step Transformation: A Four-Year "Digital Surgery"

Wang Qi, General Manager of Yantai Shengli Packaging, admitted that although the threshold for the packaging industry is low, making it strong and refined is by no means easy. To address this, since 2017, the company has completed a full-process digital transformation in four steps, building a trinity system of "prepress digitalization, intelligent production, and management informatization":

2017: Introduced an ERP system to integrate management data.
2019: Established an intelligent logistics system to optimize material circulation.
2022: Launched the MES system to achieve full-process production monitoring.
2024: Put into use mechanical palletizing equipment, completely freeing up human labor.

Transformation Results:

Efficiency improvement: Design cycle shortened by 60%, manual error rate reduced to zero.

Role Transformation: Employees transition from manual laborers to technical operators, achieving a win-win situation for both enterprises and employees.

Future Plans: New Plant Will Further Improve Efficiency by 20%

As a national high-tech enterprise and a Shandong Province "specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative" small and medium-sized enterprise, Yantai Shengli Packaging invests 15% of its annual revenue in research and development. Currently, the company holds 23 patented technologies and 15 independently developed software systems. These technologies are deeply applied to production optimization and quality control, becoming key to its standing out in fierce market competition.

Transformation and upgrading never stop. According to the latest news, the company is steadily advancing the relocation and upgrade project of the packaged workshop, moving entirely into a brand-new standardized factory building of 20,000 square meters.

New factory planning: Continuously updating equipment and optimizing processes according to a high-standard intelligent factory layout.
Expected goal: Achieve a full-chain upgrade in pre-press, production, warehousing, and logistics, with production efficiency expected to increase by another 20%.

From a handmade workshop to a smart factory, Yantai Victory Packaging has proven over 27 years that the traditional carton industry is not a "sunset industry." As long as you dare to embrace digitalization and greening, even old trees can sprout new shoots. In today's accelerated industry reshuffling, Shengli Packaging's path to intelligent manufacturing upgrades may well be a microcosm of the future development of the entire paper packaging industry.
