The three-day grand event concludes
From December 8th to 10th, the three-day "2025 National Printing Machinery Standardization Conference" successfully concluded in Kunming. The event was jointly guided by the National Standardization Administration and the China Machinery Industry Federation, and co-hosted by the National Printing Machinery Standardization Technical Committee and the China Academy of Printing Technology. Focusing on the standardization of the printing industry and technological innovation, the conference brought together over 100 industry leaders, authoritative experts, and company representatives for a grand gathering.
Spander Packaging Printing Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., as a co-organizer, actively participated in key activities such as standard discussions, technical exchanges, and on-site visits. Leveraging its professional expertise, the company injected strong momentum into the development of industry standardization. Its independently developed Spander "Golden Gobbler" PS2850FF reel-fed flatbed hot stamping machine attracted extensive attention and sparked heated discussions among participants during the on-site demonstration at Yuxi Printing Co., Ltd. in Yunnan.

As one of the mainstream technologies for precision benchmarking in the field of hot stamping, flat foil stamping technology has long attracted the attention of the industry because it can accurately adapt to the fine process needs of high-end packaging such as cigarette packs. Yunnan Yuxi Printing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuxi Printing"), which has been deeply involved in the field of cigarette pack printing for nearly 70 years, will introduce the Spand's "Gold Swallowing Beast" PS2850FF web flattening and hot stamping equipment in 2024. This equipment forms an efficient complement with Yuxi Printing's sheet-fed stamping machine and post-press equipment, and jointly builds a full-process tobacco bag processing system covering hard pack hot stamping and soft package connected reel hot stamping, providing an integrated and high-quality solution for high-end cigarette pack production.
During the on-site visit, members of the National Printing Machinery Standardization Technical Committee and industry experts fully affirmed and highly praised the excellent performance of 90m/min high PS2850FF-speed, efficient and stable when the web flattening and stamping machine printed Yuxi cigarette labels in the "gold swallowing beast" of Spand.
At the Yuxi printing production site, Yin Tao, chairman of Spand, personally revealed the core technical characteristics and performance advantages of Spand's "gold swallowing beast" PS2850FF web flattening and stamping machine for the guests. He said: Through core technology breakthroughs, the Spander "Gold Swallowing Beast" PS2850FF web flattening and stamping machine has successfully transformed the common pain points of traditional equipment in the industry in terms of registration accuracy, high-speed operation stability and cost saving into the differentiated competitive highlights of its own equipment, providing strong support for printing enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve quality and upgrade. "
Highlight 1
Registration accuracy is king!
It is exactly in line with the core positioning of high-end cigarette pack production
In terms of registration accuracy control, the Spender "Gold Swallowing Beast" PS2850FF web flattening and stamping machine overcomes the problem of micro deformation of printing plates and substrates caused by pressure and temperature changes, and strictly controls the registration error within ±0.1mm, far exceeding the average level of similar equipment in the industry ±0.2mm. This accurate performance perfectly matches the strict overprinting standards of fine patterns and holographic anti-counterfeiting logos in high-standard cigarette packaging such as Hongta Mountain and Nephrite Creek, and is highly consistent with Yuxi Printing's business positioning of providing supporting packaging for large cigarette companies such as Hongta Group and Hongyun Group, and lays a solid core foundation for the quality of high-end cigarette packs.
Highlight 2
High-speed stable printing is not discounted!
100 m/min takes into account both efficiency and stability
For the high-speed production scenario of continuous web feeding, Spand optimizes and upgrades the transmission system and positioning mechanism to ensure that the equipment can maintain stable and reliable hot stamping output even in the high-speed operation state of 100 m/min, ensuring that the process accuracy and production efficiency in mass production are up to standard. After the actual production verification of Yuxi Printing, the equipment has the powerful performance of 24 hours of continuous trouble-free operation, and the frequency of downtime and debugging is reduced by 60% compared with traditional equipment, which not only provides a solid guarantee for the production task of Yuxi Printing nearly one million large boxes of cigarette packaging trademarks a year, but also helps the production efficiency of enterprises to achieve a significant leap.
Highlight 3
Intelligent cost reduction is super powerful!
Saving labor and consumption and improving efficiency, a new benchmark for cost control
In terms of process adaptation ability, the equipment shows strong flexibility - through the refined intelligent control of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed, it can stably adapt to the processing needs of different weights of paper and different materials of hot stamping foil, which completely solves the industry pain points of traditional equipment of "material change must be adjusted, and the adjustment time is long", and significantly reduces the material loss and time cost in the process of adjustment.
In terms of core production efficiency, the equipment has achieved a leapfrog breakthrough: the efficiency of traditional hot stamping equipment is about 6,000 sheets/hour, while this Spender "gold swallowing beast" hot stamping machine can reach more than 10,000 sheets/hour, and the efficiency has been increased by more than 50%, greatly shortening the production cycle of a single batch and helping enterprises undertake larger-scale orders. In terms of automation upgrades, the integrated functions of automatic tension control, automatic deviation correction, and online quality inspection have greatly reduced the cost of manual intervention, which not only further amplifies the advantages of production efficiency, but also stabilizes the product qualification rate at more than 99.5%. Finally, it realizes the triple cost saving of "saving labor, materials, and time", and at the same time achieves a double breakthrough in efficiency and quality, becoming a new benchmark for cost control of printing enterprises.
Yin Tao, chairman of Spand, said: "Standardization is the cornerstone of high-quality development of the industry. This on-site observation of Yuxi Printing is not only a recognition of our technical strength by industry experts, but also a spur for Spander to participate in the standardization construction of the industry.
In the future, Spand will continue to deepen the core technological innovation of printing machinery, adapt to the development needs of the industry with more accurate standards, empower global printing enterprises with more reliable products, and work hand in hand with industrial chain partners such as the National Printing Machine Standards Committee and Yuxi Printing to jointly promote our country's printing machinery industry to standardization, intelligence and high-end, and inject lasting impetus into the quality upgrading of tobacco packaging and other subdivisions.
