AI design and intelligent printing "grab the spotlight" at the 2025 Northern Printing and Packaging Exhibition
On July 6th, standing next to the roaring digital printing equipment in Langfang International Convention and Exhibition Center, Hao Weisong, the person in charge of Hebei Guangxin Paper Products Packaging Co., Ltd. from Ningjin County, repeatedly touched the corrugated cardboard box made in one second and exclaimed, "With such speed and accuracy, it seems that traditional printing brush factories cannot transform.
On that day, the three-day 2025 Northern China Digital Printing and Packaging Equipment Expo (referred to as the "2025 Northern Printing and Packaging Exhibition") concluded at the Langfang International Convention and Exhibition Center. The two exhibition halls, covering an area of 17000 square meters, were crowded with people. More than 300 exhibitors showcased innovative products and technologies such as high-speed intelligent printing machines, environmentally friendly packaging solutions, and automated logistics systems. Among them, various intelligent printing equipment and AI design platforms became the focus of the entire event.
At the X-FUN Artificial Intelligence Packaging Design booth, Chen Yinghao, a packaging industry expert from the Joint Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence Packaging Design at Peking University Institute of Information Technology, demonstrated to reporters the operation process of the X-FUN artificial intelligence packaging design platform by inputting instructions such as' Yunnan boutique coffee, illustration style, up and down composition, green, coffee color... 'and then uploading reference images. In just one minute, 8 packaging design schemes with different styles were displayed on the screen.
In the traditional mode, such design requirements take 1 to 2 weeks and the design fee can reach several thousand yuan, "Chen Yinghao told reporters. In the first half of this year, a color printing factory received an urgent order to complete the series packaging design and sampling within 5 days. With the help of the X-FUN platform, the designer submitted 4 complete landing plans and samples in just 2 days, and the customer selected them for production on the spot.
In no time, the AI design experience area in the booth was lined up. We are exploring how AI can quickly generate packaging solutions for more segmented industries, while optimizing design styles based on consumer data. ”Chen Yinghao stated that for small and medium-sized Indian enterprises, the greatest value of AI is to solve the pain points of design talent shortage, high costs, and long cycles.
A local packaging factory manager from Langfang is quite interested in AI design: "In the past, the designer team had to spend 300000 yuan per year, but now a designer combined with an AI platform can solve the problem. I want to experience it well this time. ”
If AI presents a design revolution, then intelligent printing devices demonstrate breakthroughs in speed and precision.
In the intelligent post press equipment area, Qingdao Aopai Intelligent Packaging Co., Ltd.'s fully automatic slotting carton machine is performing a "precision dance". The reporter found that through an intelligent management system, automatic knife adjustment can be achieved on the computer, with "no knife mold, second order change, and one-time output". The order change time only takes 1 to 6 seconds, which is very convenient and fast. Traditional semi-automatic equipment requires multiple processes, while this equipment only needs one process to complete the processing, including paper separation, slotting, and line pressing, all in one molding, "said Yu Jinghai, the sales manager of the company. The equipment can also be called a fully automatic slotting, paper separation, and line pressing integrated cardboard box machine, which is designed to provide small batch order solutions for the cardboard box industry.
The reporter observed on site that green intelligence has become the core direction of device upgrades. This device can remove some dust from the paper, make the rubber cleaner during the printing process, save glue for laminating, and achieve better results. "At the Tangshan Jingchi Technology Exhibition Area, staff were introducing the company's fully automatic paper finishing machine, and the onlookers nodded in agreement.
This exhibition also created multiple technology salons, inviting industry experts to solve the pain points of enterprise transformation and directly address core needs such as efficiency improvement, cost reduction, and digital transformation.
The exhibition was extremely popular. According to the organizing committee's statistics, more than 10000 professional buyers, technical engineers, and industry association representatives from Beijing Tianjin Hebei and all over the country registered to enter. Inside the exhibition hall, numerous exhibitors have reported receiving substantial intention orders, fully demonstrating the strong demand vitality of the northern market and the strong business docking function of the exhibition.
In recent years, with the implementation of the coordinated development strategy of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Langfang has actively constructed an industrial chain that complements the advantages of Beijing and Tianjin, promoted orderly undertaking and relocation, and accelerated the realization of industrial synergy. In terms of printing and packaging industry, Langfang City has formed a complete industrial chain integrating design, production, sales, and services. Many excellent enterprises gather here, and the industry scale continues to grow, with continuous enhancement of innovation capabilities.
The selection of Langfang as the venue for this exhibition is not only a recognition of the development achievements of Langfang's printing and packaging industry, but also a high-end cooperation platform in the printing and packaging field based on the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, facing the whole country, and connecting the world. Tian Haikuan, Secretary of the Party Group and President of Langfang Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that he hopes more exhibitors and buyers can take advantage of the exhibition opportunity to build friendships and explore business opportunities.
