Zhongshan Lianfu Printing Factory, a leading Chinese provider of integrated design, production, and printing services, has been delivering high-quality packaging solutions since 2004. With a 5,000-square-meter facility and 85 employees, the company has consistently prioritized innovation to meet diverse client demands. In recent years, Lianfu faced growing challenges in fulfilling scattered orders for uniquely sized corrugated boxes. Their search for agile box making solutions led them to Aopack Ltd., a pioneer in compact, automated box-making machinery.
Addressing Production Challenges
Lianfu core machinery struggled with unconventional orders, particularly for extremely small or oversized boxes. Traditional equipment required lengthy setup times and minimum order quantities, limiting flexibility. To maintain competitiveness in serving niche markets, Lianfu needed machines capable of handling low-to-medium volume orders efficiently—down to a single-box production.
Aopack Tailored Box Making Solutions
In 2024, Lianfu purchased the Aopack BM2508-Pro, a fully automatic, all-in-one machine integrating slotting, creasing, slitting, trimming, and optional vibrating knife functions. This compact system allowed Lianfu to process over 150 box styles, including irregular shapes, with minimal setup. The BM2508-Pro versatility in handling orders as small as one unit revolutionized their approach to scattered demand.
Impressed by the results, Lianfu upgraded their capabilities in 2025 with the Aopack BM3000-HD, a heavy-duty model designed for AAA corrugated cardboard. Installed in April 2025, this machine retained the vibrating knife function for complex die-cutting while adding rugged durability for thicker materials. Both machines are CE-certified and backed by Aopack patented technologies, ensuring compliance with global safety and performance standards.
Operational Impact
While Aopack machines aren’t Lianfu primary production workhorses, they’ve become indispensable for specialized tasks:
– Zero-MOQ Flexibility: The ability to produce single-box orders allows Lianfu to serve startups, sample requests, and custom projects profitably.
– Niche Market Expansion: Uncommon box sizes (e.g., miniature packaging for electronics or oversized industrial crates) are now achievable without costly retooling.
– Reduced Waste: Precision processing minimizes material loss, critical for low-volume runs.
– Speed-to-Market: All-in-one automation slashes production time by 60% compared to manual workflows.
Strategic Partnership
Over two years of collaboration, Aopack has proven its commitment to after-sales support, providing timely maintenance and technical guidance. “Aopack machines fill a critical gap in our production chain,” noted Lianfu production manager. “Their compact design saves floor space, while their reliability ensures we never turn down a client, no matter how unconventional the request.”
Global Recognition, Local Success
Aopack 710+ installations across 60 countries underscore its reputation for innovation. For Lianfu, this global expertise translated into localized success—enhancing their reputation as a versatile, client-centric supplier. The factory now confidently promotes its ability to handle “any size, any style,” attracting clients from e-commerce, luxury goods, and industrial sectors.
Conclusion
Zhongshan Lianfu investment in Aopack technology exemplifies how strategic equipment upgrades can unlock new revenue streams. By combining Aopack engineering excellence with their own printing expertise, Lianfu has positioned itself as a agile, future-ready player in China competitive packaging industry. As demand for customized, sustainable packaging grows, this partnership continues to deliver measurable value—one box at a time.
