Currently, China's consumer market is accelerating its transformation toward a new retail model centered on customer experience. In the field of label printing, demand has quickly shifted from standardized, large-volume production to personalized, high-frequency, and agile responses. How can differentiated visual and functional experiences be provided for products in different regions and batches at lower costs and faster speeds? Meizhijing Label (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Meizhijing) targets this industry pain point, using technological innovation as a breakthrough strategy, aiming to build a 'digitally connected chain and reconstruct a personalized printing customization ecosystem,' promoting the leap from 'manufacturing' to 'intelligent manufacturing.'
Technological Innovation: Driving the 'Fast-Response Scale' Flexible Model
Meizhijing's innovation practice focuses on transforming digital technology into reliable business value. The core breakthrough is the large-scale application of the digital production chain of 'UV inkjet printing and laser cutting.'
The bottleneck of traditional printing often lies in the physical separation before and after printing and the long cycle dependencies. Meizhijing has achieved complete digitalization and flexibilization of the production process by integrating advanced UV inkjet technology and laser cutting technology. Inkjet technology enables plate-free, variable data printing. Whether it is subtle color gradients, complex anti-counterfeiting codes, or differentiated copy targeted for various regional markets, all can be efficiently completed within the same batch, significantly shortening the time-to-market for new products.
As a non-contact processing method, laser cutting perfectly complements the flexible output of inkjet printing, enabling precise and rapid post-printing processes that traditional dies struggle to achieve, such as complex die-cut shapes, hollowing, and punching. This combination ensures that creative designs can be transformed into physical labels with the highest precision and minimal waste.
Innovation is not only reflected in the technology itself but also in how it is transformed into a scalable and replicable business model. By flexibly optimizing the 'inkjet-laser' process, the company has successfully built a 'fast-response scale' production model. For market testing, small batches, and high-frequency change orders, relying on the digital quick-response system allows delivery within hours, helping clients rapidly validate market feedback and effectively reduce trial-and-error costs. For mature and stable orders, the process seamlessly switches to efficient, flexible large-scale printing production, ensuring cost-effectiveness. This elastic scheduling capability is precisely what enables Meizhijing to serve the rapidly iterative supply chain of new retail.
Meizhijing Production Workshop
To further strengthen rapid response capabilities, Meizhijing has established the "Shanghai Digital Workstation," which serves as the core front-end node of the company's flexible supply chain. It focuses on high-frequency and urgent market needs such as market test production, small batch trial production, rush orders for hot-selling items, and sample verification. The workstation is equipped with internationally leading digital printing equipment and a full-process digital management system, achieving one-stop automated operations from file upload, intelligent layout, and color calibration to finished product output. It pioneered a 4-hour ultra-fast delivery solution for adhesive labels, perfectly matching the fast-paced supply chain rhythm of new retail.
Digital Foundation: Restructuring the Label Delivery Ecosystem
Technological innovation must rely on a strong digital system as support to build an efficient and resilient supply chain system. Meizhijing has developed a digital foundation that spans the entire process of design, production, delivery, and after-sales, deeply integrating PLM, ERP, MES, and WMS systems, linking the full data chain from front-end design files to back-end equipment execution, and from raw material warehousing to finished product delivery. Production no longer overly depends on human experience but is driven by data, fundamentally ensuring high reliability in color consistency, registration accuracy, and material traceability for labels, providing solid support for flexible production and quality control.
On this basis, Meizhijing has also built a dedicated industry data cloud platform, creating a full-process digital service model of "cloud design, cloud production, and cloud traceability," further improving delivery efficiency and customer experience.
The data cloud platform has three core functions: first, cloud-based collaborative design, allowing customers to upload design files, adjust process parameters, and view color previews online through the platform without repeated offline communication, greatly shortening the communication cycle; second, visualization of production progress, enabling customers to log in to the platform to check order production status, process progress, and estimated delivery times in real-time, achieving full transparency of order management; third, full lifecycle traceability, with the platform recording data of each batch of labels including production equipment, process parameters, material batches, and quality inspection results, forming a complete traceability chain to meet the compliance and traceability requirements of industries such as food, cosmetics, and electronics. Additionally, the data cloud platform is equipped with intelligent algorithms that provide customers with order forecasts and process optimization suggestions based on historical order data and market demand trends, helping brands reduce supply chain costs and enhance operational efficiency.
At the service network level, Meizhijing, through the 'City Cooperation Program,' exports its mature digital production standards, management experience, and data cloud platform capabilities to regional partners, breaking geographic limitations and expanding the service radius. The company has established service points in core cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Wuhan, with Shanghai as the headquarters and regional stations as support, forming a nationwide agile service network. By empowering with digital standards, it ensures that customers nationwide receive a consistent star-level experience in design coordination, production processes, quality control, and delivery timeliness, effectively addressing the traditional pain points of uneven regional responses and inconsistent service standards in the labeling supply chain, truly achieving 'nationwide presence, local service, quick response.'
Industry Leadership: Empowering Industrial Collaboration with Standards
Meizhijing always adheres to the synchronized development of technological innovation and industry standards, and the coordinated progress of ecosystem co-building and enterprise growth. It actively participates in and promotes the formulation of digital standards for the label printing industry, while extending its layout upstream to material coatings and downstream to printing equipment, building a collaborative ecosystem across the entire industry chain. Standards guarantee the value of innovation, and the ecosystem drives high-quality industry development.
Meizhijing took the lead in collaborating with the Shanghai Qingpu District Printing Association, Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication, leading material manufacturers, and industry technical experts to draft and release the group standard "Technical Specifications for UV Inkjet Printing and Laser Die-cut Label Production Processes" (T/QPYX 000002-2026), filling the gap in domestic standards for UV inkjet and laser die-cut label production processes. This standard specifies core technical indicators such as inkjet color management, laser die-cutting accuracy, material compatibility, production environment requirements, and quality inspection methods, establishing clear quality benchmarks and technical specifications for digital label production. By leading the standard formulation, Meizhijing ensures its innovative technologies are aligned with industry development, promoting a shift in the industry from "disorderly competition" to "standard-led" practices, effectively safeguarding brand owners' investment value and the long-term reliability of labels, while giving customers greater confidence when choosing Meizhijing.
