Shanghai WEPACK Packaging & Printing Expo | Baosiwei Showcases Short-Run Color Box Solutions
The three-day Shanghai WEPACK World Expo has successfully concluded. Jingwang·Baosiwei brought three major models to the exhibition—8-head 8-color, 16-head 8-color, and 24-head 4-color coated paper print-and-cut integrated machines—along with a complete fast-delivery solution for short-run color box production. These drew the attention of many industry professionals and gained the trust and orders from customers.
Advantages of Short-Run Color Box Printing
Cost Saving
Offset printing is known for its speed and precise color reproduction, making it a mainstream solution in the packaging industry. However, it struggles with cost control when handling small batch orders. In recent years, total order quantities have decreased, while fragmented small orders have increased. Offset printing cannot fully meet these new demands. To maintain customer relationships, many companies have had to accept such small orders at a loss.
In contrast, digital coated paper printing requires no plate-making, saving startup costs. For orders under 500 units, this cost advantage is even more apparent.
Additionally, Baosiwei’s integrated printer-cutter offers high flexibility. It supports on-demand production, allowing supplemental printing without needing to reserve overstock, effectively reducing operating costs and easing inventory pressure.
Fast Delivery
The integrated print-and-cut workflow skips the multi-day plate-making process. With a compact design and high output efficiency, it attracted many visitors to stop and observe. The system maintains cutting deviation within 1mm, and the printed carton surface sheets can seamlessly connect with downstream processes, greatly shortening delivery time.
Large-Format Capability
The machine supports coated paper digital printing up to 1.8 meters in width, overcoming the limitations of offset printing for large-size boxes. At the on-site sample area, many customers gathered to watch and affirmed the printing precision and stability of the equipment.
Multiple Solutions to Meet Different Needs
8-Head 8-Color Coated Paper Printer
This 8-head 8-color high-precision configuration is designed for short-run, high-accuracy packaging orders. It solves the challenges of printing on uncoated or light-coated greyback paper, with smooth gradient transitions, fine ink dots, and no smudging on large solid color areas.
During the live sampling session, many customers performed side-by-side comparisons using the same designs, and clearly observed the superior image detail of Baosiwei’s output compared to other machines. Many acknowledged that our printing precision stands out in the same class of equipment.

24-Head Industrial-Grade Equipment
The 24-head 4-color coated paper printer delivers strong production capacity. For lower precision requirements such as fruit boxes, its output can exceed 800㎡ per hour. Even under high-quality settings, it can still achieve 300㎡ per hour, meeting the needs of large-scale industrial production while maintaining stable output quality.
