Jiangmen Top Packaging adds Weigang flexo press

Jiangmen Top Packaging has validated Weigang’s factory acceptance test (FAT) of a high-specification ZJR-450G flexographic press, marking another investment in advanced packaging production technology by Weigang. 

Jiangmen Top Packaging is part of a major packaging group serving the food, beverage and consumer goods sectors in China. The company operates more than 50 production lines, maintains Class 100,000 cleanroom facilities, and supplies packaging to a range of well-known consumer brands. 

The newly validated ZJR-450G platform is configured with 12 flexographic printing units and Siemens controls, complemented by a range of integrated automation and process-enhancement technologies. The line combines UV and LED curing, rotary screen printing, die-cutting, automatic waste handling, online inspection, inkjet coding, corona treatment, anti-static systems and dual-side web cleaning within a single production workflow. 

In addition, the press has been prepared for MES connectivity, enabling future integration with digital manufacturing and production management systems. 

The investment reflects a broader trend across the packaging sector, where converters are increasingly seeking highly integrated production platforms capable of supporting productivity, quality assurance and traceability requirements in large-scale consumer goods packaging. 

As brand owners continue to place greater emphasis on production consistency, supply chain transparency and operational efficiency, packaging producers are investing in equipment that can combine printing, inspection, coding and data collection into a unified manufacturing process. 

During the factory acceptance process, representatives from Jiangmen Top Packaging reviewed the machine's performance, automation systems and production capabilities, while also gaining a closer understanding of Weigang's manufacturing processes and quality control standards. 

For Weigang, the project highlights the growing demand for advanced flexographic technologies that support both high-volume production and increasingly sophisticated quality management requirements. The ZJR-450G platform has been developed to address these needs through modular configuration flexibility and integrated workflow capabilities. 

The successful completion of the factory acceptance test represents an important milestone ahead of the machine's delivery and installation, supporting Jiangmen Top Packaging's continued development of advanced packaging production capabilities.
