Yangtze Intelligent Packaging and China Tobacco have reached a cooperation agreement to help upgrade tobacco logistics.

Recently, Yangzi Intelligent Packaging, leveraging its technological strength in industrial packaging, has partnered with several branches of China Tobacco, providing them with professional stretch wrapping machines and packaging solutions.

This collaboration marks a powerful alliance between a national packaging brand and a large state-owned enterprise, jointly exploring innovative applications of intelligent packaging technology in tobacco logistics.

01 Packaging Challenges in the Tobacco Industry As a large state-owned enterprise in China, China Tobacco’s logistics system has unique requirements for packaging. Tobacco products are characterized by high value, strict moisture protection requirements, and difficulty in controlling transportation losses.

From tobacco leaf re-drying to finished cigarette distribution, the tobacco industry involves packaging needs at multiple stages. The diverse range of pallet packaging specifications requires more flexible solutions.

Traditional packaging methods are inefficient and struggle to guarantee consistent packaging quality. Especially during peak business periods, packaging can easily become a logistics bottleneck, impacting the efficiency of the entire supply chain.

China Tobacco needs an intelligent packaging solution that can adapt to the characteristics of tobacco products, achieve standardized packaging, and seamlessly integrate with the existing logistics system.

02 Technological Advantages, Meeting the Specific Needs of the Tobacco Industry
Yangzi Intelligent Packaging provides professional stretch film packaging solutions tailored to the specific needs of the tobacco industry.

Its equipment utilizes PLC programmable control and frequency converter control, ensuring reliable performance and easy operation. Customized wrapping methods and number of wraps can be designed according to the characteristics of tobacco products.

Pre-stretching technology is a major highlight of Yangzi’s packaging equipment, with a stretch ratio as high as 1:2.5 or even 1:3. This means that 1 meter of film can be stretched to a length of 2.5 or 3 meters, significantly reducing film consumption.

Photoelectric detection automatically tracks the height of the packaged goods, achieving precise packaging. The tension adjustment system allows users to freely adjust the stretch film tension according to the characteristics of the goods and their own needs, achieving the most suitable packaging requirements.

Soft start and soft stop functions ensure smooth and safe operation of goods, especially suitable for high-value, lightweight, and easily scattered goods such as tobacco products.

3. Foundation of Cooperation, Quality Builds Trust

Yangzi Fully Automatic Packaging Machines adheres to the philosophy of “quality over price,” upholding the principles of practicality, ease of use, and durability, continuously upgrading its products to advanced levels.

Its packaging equipment is widely used in foreign trade exports, food and beverage, canning, papermaking, dyeing, plastics and chemicals, glass and ceramics, and electromechanical casting industries. Its rich application experience provides reliable packaging solutions for customers in various sectors.

Yangzi Intelligent Packaging has partnered with numerous Fortune 500 companies, including Midea, Digital China, JAC Motors, and Schneider Electric China, demonstrating its technological strength and market recognition.

4. Packaging Needs of the Tobacco Industry The Chinese tobacco system has a large demand for packaging materials with stringent requirements, and has been continuously procuring various types of packaging materials in recent years.

For example, the Shanxi Provincial Company of China National Tobacco Corporation recently completed the 2025-2027 provincial-level centralized procurement project for plastic sealing film suppliers, selecting several qualified packaging material suppliers.

Hubei China Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. has also purchased a large number of tobacco leaf and stem packaging boxes for the packaging and transportation of tobacco raw materials.

Hebei China Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. conducted procurement projects for sheet tobacco packaging boxes in 2021 and 2022, involving a large quantity and multiple re-drying plants.

These procurement activities demonstrate the tobacco industry’s emphasis on the packaging process and provide ample opportunities for cooperation between Yangzi Intelligent Packaging and China Tobacco.

At China Tobacco’s logistics centers, Yangzi Intelligent Packaging’s equipment operates stably, providing reliable packaging protection for tobacco products.

As cooperation deepens, Yangzi Intelligent Packaging will continue to leverage its professional technology and reliable quality to help China Tobacco achieve intelligent upgrades in its logistics packaging process, jointly writing a new chapter in cooperation between national brands.
