It is an important pillar industry in the region and is in the major printing town of Goose Lake. The total value of packaging and printing production accounted for a larger proportion, reaching about 50% in 2011.

The origin of the Xishan printing industry The origin of the Xishan printing industry can be traced back to the Hongzhi Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1400-1500). The Fahrenheit family of Huatuo, Huajian, etc. in Dangkou (now Xishan District, Gehu Town) began experimenting with copper type. Printed book.

The start of the modern printing industry in Xishan The beginning of modern printing industry in Xishan was basically synchronized with the township industry in the southern part of Jiangsu Province that began in the late 1970s. Under the historical circumstances at that time, the start of the township industry in southern Jiangsu had played an invaluable role in the development of the South Jiangsu economy and the employment of surplus rural labor, narrowing the differences between urban and rural areas, and laid the foundation for the start of the modern printing industry in Xishan.

In the history of Xishan modern printing industry, the most typical is the town of Goosehu, which is known as “the hometown of color printing”. The color printing industry in the area started in the early 1970s. At the end of the 1980s, it was the development stage for color printing companies. In the mid to late 1990s, it was the peak period. By the end of 1995, the color printing industry in the town had 35 one-stop supporting production enterprises from the raw and auxiliary materials to color printing and packaging products. The total output value reached 300 million yuan, accounting for 34.1% of the town's industrial output value, and it has become a pillar industry in the industrial economy. Among them, Huqiao, Huaxia, Xinya, Shin Kong and other color printing plants and the city's aluminum power plant and Sino-foreign joint venture Wuxi Dehua Color Printing and Packaging Group Co., Ltd. are the most famous. At that time, the annual output value of the town cultural and educational color printing factory (predecessor of Wuxi Culture, Education and Printing Co., Ltd.) exceeded 100 million yuan.

The adjustment of the industrial structure caused by the transformation of township enterprises to the beginning of this century, with the acceleration of the pace of reform and opening up and the rapid development of the private economy, Xishan packaging and printing industry has entered the peak period of the transformation of township enterprises, like the above-mentioned Dengkou Town Culture and Education Color Printing Factory, one night Between them, they were converted into ten limited liability companies. The town of Goose Lake registered nearly 200 packaging and decoration printing companies. Of course, these enterprises include small package printing enterprises with small and complete internal organs and large-scale professional processing enterprises with advanced equipment.

With the rapid development of China's market economy, Manorland, Komori, Mitsubishi, Heidelberg, and Gaobao have settled in Xishan, and the product structure has also developed towards medium-to-high-end liquors, moon cakes, and small household appliances. Since the departure of Xishan in 2001 and the construction of the area in Xishan, the sales volume of the Xishan printing industry has been growing at an average annual rate of over 10%, and a number of medium-sized companies with annual sales of over 50 million yuan have emerged, such as North American adhesives. Products, Dehua Color Printing, Gangqiao Packaging, Culture, Education Printing, Xingang Packaging, Xinsheng Paper Products, Maxell Color Printing, Jindu Color Printing, Hengfeng Paper, Hong Sun Printing, Dangkou Xilin Printing Plate Making Factory, Hengchang Packaging , Red bean packaging, etc., in which North American Adhesive Products Co., Ltd. in 2004 sales exceeded 100 million yuan.

After a big wave of market economy, Xishan formed its own pillar industry—printing and packaging industry. The market provided a stage for the printing industry in Xishan District to show its own energy, and at the same time eliminated the weak who could not adapt to economic development. In the seven years from 2001 to 2007, the printing industry in Xishan District has grown from an annual sales of less than 2 billion yuan to more than 3 billion yuan, on the basis that the total number of enterprises has remained basically unchanged.

The rapid rise in labor costs has triggered the climax of the automation of postpress printing. With the publication and implementation of the "Labor Contract Law" and the increase in the minimum wage in Wuxi, the proportion of labor cost in the cost structure of traditional printing industries has become more and more. high. In the printing industry, the largest cost of labor is post-press processing. The original post-printing die-cutting process basically used a single-person semi-automatic die-cutting machine (slot machine), and the box-making process was also mainly manual or semi-automatic. Take wine packaging production companies, if the annual sales to reach 100 million yuan, at least 200 employees to use more than workers, if the production of complex packaging to reach more than 300 people.

The post-press automation transformation of the Xishan Printing Industry started in 2005. The first is the automatic folder-gluer. In 2005, the first Taiwan-based Si Degang automatic folder-gluer was introduced. At present, the automatic folder-gluer has become the necessary post-press processing equipment for Xishan printing and packaging companies. In 2007, automatic die-cutting machines began to settle in Xishan. The introduction of fully automatic die-cutting machine has improved the working efficiency of the post-press die-cutting process by 6 times to 8 times, basically matching the need for new offset presses with over 10,000 sheets per hour.

According to incomplete statistics, Xishan District currently has no less than 300 automatic die-cutting machines produced by well-known domestic and foreign companies such as Shengli Weiye, Tianjin Changrong, Shanghai Yahua, and Taiwan Yan.

In early 2009, the first successful Weiye automatic hot stamping machine settled in Xishan. In the same year, Shanghai Electric Printing & Packaging Group held an exhibition of automatic die-cutting and bronzing equipment in Xishan. The equipment displayed at the meeting was ordered out on the spot. Post-press automation has formed a climax in the printing industry in Xishan. At present, the alcohol packaging and printing enterprises with an annual sales of 100 million yuan in Xishan District have reduced their average employment to about 80 workers, and their labor productivity has more than doubled.

The global financial crisis has prompted the Xishan printing industry to reshuffle the printing industry. In 2008, the worldwide financial crisis broke out. The first to bear was Xishan's foreign trade printing companies. The enterprises with domestic sales under the conditions of increasing labor costs and raw materials increased the company's economy. Benefits are also falling. However, from the two years of sales revenue statistics in 2009 and 2010, and 2011 projections, it still maintains an annual growth of 10% to 15%. The reasons can basically be used to make the following conclusions.

The strong is strong, and the weak are weak In recent years, Xishan has emerged a group of enterprises with annual sales of over 100 million yuan. In addition to Wuxi City North American Adhesive Products Co., Ltd. has exceeded 300 million yuan in annual sales, the German color printing, culture and education The printing business has also exceeded its annual sales volume of RMB 100 million. In 2011, Oka Bridge Packaging has also entered the gate of annual sales of RMB 100 million. Of course, there are also some small and micro enterprises that have come to the end of "closed doors." The market economy is the survival of the fittest.

I have no people, I have excellent In March 2011, the first Heidelberg CD102-6UV offset press settled in Youhong Printing in Wuxi, and on June 21, 2011, the first large format KBA Rapide 162A-5 offset printing press was printed in Zhongjiang. Put into production, Xishan printing industry is still brewing. As we all know, in the offset printing packaging manufacturing enterprises, the grade of the main printing equipment directly determines the grade of the finished printing products of the enterprise. The concept of “I have no people and I have excellent people” advocated by the Xishan printer will be the driving force and assistance for the development of the printing industry in Xishan. Pusher.

To play a specialty, Ning Dangzi Xishan has such a group of enterprises, its main printing equipment has been unable to meet the needs of users, upgrade and replace the main printing equipment in economic strength, but they can not catch up with, but they spotted the opportunity in the market to play the existing equipment Their expertise or small-scale capital investment, the purchase of special equipment is willing to do a supporting role in the printing market, their businesses are also operating in a very impressive, but also achieved the expected economic benefits, why not?

"Green Printing Certification" is promoting the structural changes in the printing industry in Xishan The Printing Industry Association of Xishan District in Wuxi City has formulated plans for the printing industry in Xishan District to promote "green printing certification" during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period. Xishan Association of India plans to first implement mandatory green printing certification for printing materials involving primary and secondary school teaching materials in 2012. In 2013, the company fully implemented green printing certification in publications and printing companies. In 2014, it started annual sales of over 10 million yuan. The company gradually promotes green printing certification, and strives to achieve green printing certification standards for more than 40% of printing companies in the region during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

After nearly 40 years of development, the modern printing industry in Xishan has formed a certain influence in East China and even the whole country, and occupies a certain market share. With the acceleration of China's economic restructuring, the traditional printing industry is in economically developed regions. The proportion of the total economic output is undergoing subtle changes. Is it because of difficulties or is it looking for opportunities in economic development? We believe that the new generation of Xishan printers will make the best answer with their own actions.
