In today’s world, where environmental awareness is deeply ingrained and consumer demands are increasingly diversified, paper products have long transcended their single attribute as a “writing medium,” becoming indispensable partners in packaging protection, daily consumption, and industrial applications. From textured picture books to express delivery boxes, from baby-grade tissues to specialty functional papers, behind each product lies the paper product manufacturer’s relentless pursuit of excellence in raw materials, processes, and technology. Today, we’ll take you through the entire paper product production process, showing how a good sheet of paper transforms from raw material into a high-quality product that combines practicality and value.
I. Raw Materials: The Foundation of Good Paper, Beginning with Rigorous Selection
Raw materials are the core factor determining the quality of paper products. Without high-quality raw materials, even the most exquisite craftsmanship is meaningless. We adhere to the principle of “source control,” carefully selecting two core raw materials to balance quality and environmental protection:
Primarily high-quality pulp: We use imported wood pulp (softwood pulp with a fiber length of 3.5mm and hardwood pulp with a precisely controlled freeness of 38°SR) certified by the FSC Forest Certification Committee, along with renewable raw materials such as bamboo pulp. This ensures the paper’s flexibility, whiteness, and stability from the source, with heavy metal content far below EU REACH standards.
Empowered by recycled raw materials: In response to the call for a circular economy, we scientifically proportion waste paper pulp that has undergone rigorous sorting, disintegration, and deinking. Our waste paper utilization rate reaches an industry-leading 85% or more, reducing resource consumption and preventing impurities from affecting paper quality through precise slag removal processes.
All raw materials undergo three tests before entering the warehouse: fiber length, moisture content, and impurity rate must all meet standards before entering the production stage, eliminating the possibility of “good paper from inferior materials” from the source.
II. Process: Over 30 steps, achieving millimeter-level precision
Paper product manufacturing is a “battle of details.” From pulping to finished product, every step allows for meticulous attention. We adhere to the core logic of “strict control at the beginning, variable control in the middle, and quality assurance at the end,” creating a refined production system across the entire chain:
Pulping: Precise proportions, like “mixing soup,” are used. The beating degree is controlled via a disc mill (38-42°SR for cultural paper, 22-26°SR for toilet paper). Environmentally friendly sizing agents, wet strength agents, and other auxiliary materials are added. Simultaneously, degassing and desanding processes remove air bubbles and fine sand, preventing “pinhole” defects in the finished paper.
Papermaking: The headbox evenly sprays the pulp onto a copper wire mesh. Through vacuum dewatering, pressing and shaping, and gradient drying (temperature 80-120℃), paper sheets are formed. Real-time monitoring of the pulp-to-wire ratio (0.95-1.05) and moisture deviation (±0.5%) ensures that paper uniformity and dryness meet standards.
Post-processing: A 3-5 roller calender (linear pressure 150-200kN/m) enhances smoothness; a slitting machine precisely cuts the product to customer specifications (error ≤0.1mm); finally, it is secured with moisture-proof packaging and wooden pallets to prevent moisture damage during transportation.
For customized needs, we break the industry convention of “only accepting large orders” and support orders starting from 100 pieces. We provide one-on-one follow-up from design and sampling to production and delivery. Whether it’s irregularly shaped cartons, special process brochures, or customized width base paper, we can achieve zero deviation between samples and finished products.
III. Innovation: Green and Intelligent, Leading a New Direction for the Industry
The paper products industry is currently undergoing a dual transformation of “green transformation + intelligent upgrading.” We proactively embrace this trend, making production both efficient and environmentally friendly:
Intelligent Production: We have introduced high-speed rotary printing presses with a capacity of over 15,000 sheets per hour and machine vision inspection equipment, coupled with an ERP management system to achieve full-process traceability, controlling the defect rate to below 0.5% (far lower than the industry average of 1.2%), and delivering regular orders within 48 hours.
Green Manufacturing: We use environmentally friendly inks and water-based coatings, with AOX emissions 50% lower than national standards. Production wastewater is treated and recycled, and the energy consumption per unit product meets the “dual carbon” target requirements. All products have passed national environmental safety testing.
Functional Innovation: Focusing on market demand, we develop specialty products such as antibacterial paper, high-wet-strength paper, and intelligent packaging paper to meet the special needs of fields such as maternal and infant products, medical care, and new energy. The proportion of innovative products is increasing year by year.
IV. Our Original Aspiration: Using Paper as a Medium to Convey Value and Warmth
From our early days of entrepreneurship, adhering to the principles of “not using inferior paper, not skimping on key processes, and never deceiving customers,” to becoming an industry benchmark combining scale and quality, we have always believed that paper products are not only industrial products, but also carriers for conveying brand value and carrying the warmth of life.
Customized gift boxes for tea brands, after 12 design optimizations and hundreds of hot stamping tests, helped increase the client’s average order value by 53%; 100,000 textbooks printed for vocational schools, thanks to our zero-page-loss sewn binding process, secured three consecutive years of contract renewals; and customized pressure-resistant cardboard boxes for e-commerce clients had a breakage rate controlled below 0.3%, reducing logistics losses. Behind these examples lies our commitment to quality and our practice of the philosophy of “adding value with paper and building trust with heart.”
The birth of a sheet of paper begins with the selection of raw materials, is refined through meticulous craftsmanship, and is achieved through innovation. In the future, we will continue to focus on raw material optimization, process upgrades, and product innovation to provide higher-quality, more environmentally friendly, and more valuable paper product solutions for various industries.
