- As the largest specialized exhibition for carton packaging machinery north of the Yangtze River, the Dongguang International Carton Machinery Expo builds on Dongguang County’s deep industrial roots as “China’s Hometown of Carton Machinery,” “China’s Carton Machinery Industry Base,” and “China’s Famous Packaging County.” It has been successfully held for fifteen consecutive editions. Co-organized by the China Packaging Federation and the Hebei Provincial Chamber of International Commerce, the expo is themed “Digital Intelligence Empowers First Releases, Sharing Industry Benefits,” serving as a core platform for connecting global resources across the carton packaging value chain, showcasing cutting-edge innovations, and driving high-quality industry development.
- The core value of participation lies in its unique “combination of year-round and concentrated exhibitions” and its platform‑wide coverage of the entire industry chain. Dongguang County boasts an industrial cluster comprising over 1,500 packaging machinery enterprises and 40,000 employees, with an agglomeration zone spanning 12.56 square kilometers. Exhibits encompass the full spectrum of products, including corrugated board production lines, carton forming and printing equipment, post‑press processing machinery, and related spare parts and consumables. At the 15th edition in 2025, the exhibition will cover 33,600 square meters, bringing together 352 exhibitors and showcasing 1,389 complete machines along with nearly 10,000 types of spare parts and consumables, firmly maintaining its position as the largest event of its kind north of the Yangtze River.
- The expo has established an international trade platform that links to global markets, concentrating overseas buyer resources. In 2025, the event will attract buyers from 50 countries and regions, including Russia, Egypt, Vietnam, India, and Malaysia, with projected transaction volumes reaching RMB 1.5 billion. Dongguang County is home to 135 packaging machinery enterprises holding independent import‑export licenses, whose products are exported to 130 countries and regions. During the expo, a new “Exhibition‑Production Linkage” model will be introduced, featuring carefully planned on‑site visit routes for qualified professionals, enabling them to experience firsthand the manufacturing prowess of the local industrial cluster.
- The expo aligns with three major industry trends—digital intelligence empowerment, the first‑release economy, and green transformation—establishing itself as a premier showcase for cutting-edge technologies and innovative products. Under the theme “Digital Intelligence Empowers First Releases, Sharing Industry Benefits,” the 2025 edition will highlight nearly ten groundbreaking new products, such as the “Non‑Stop Single‑ and Double‑Roller Printing Line,” the “Fixed‑Type Full‑Servo Non‑Stop Six‑Color Printing Line,” and the “Model 7200 Large Dual‑Sheet Fully Automatic Case‑Nailing Machine,” demonstrating transformative advances in intelligence and digitalization. Exhibits include smart corrugated production lines, high‑speed water-based ink printing lines, fully automatic dual‑sheet case‑nailing machines, and other high‑end equipment, underscoring substantial achievements in intelligent manufacturing.
- For enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway for expanding into global markets, connecting with international resources, and showcasing their innovative capabilities. Designated as a “Key Exhibition” project by Hebei Province, the event will concurrently host supporting activities such as the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Packaging Industry Alliance events and the Packaging Machinery Development Forum, while also launching themed tourism routes to foster deep integration between industrial exchange and cultural‑tourism experiences. From setting industry standards to facilitating international procurement linkages and hosting technical competitions, the expo drives the continuous evolution of China’s carton packaging machinery—from “product export” toward “brand export.”
