Alyssa/ November 9,2025 Return

As competition in the smart packaging industry grows fierce, UBL Intelligent Packaging’s core competitiveness stems from the founder’s persistent belief that “technology is king”. Over 12 years of deep engagement in the sector, the company has accumulated more than 160 patents, laying a solid foundation for its development through powerful technological innovation.

Right from its establishment, the founder made R&D investment a core strategy. He led the team to focus on achieving technological breakthroughs in key equipment such as box-folding machines, cartoning machines and labeling machines, as well as in automated production lines. From upgrading aircraft-box folding machines for higher speed, to enabling precise control of full-automatic gluing and cartoning machines, and then to innovating integrated real-time printing and labeling production lines—every patent comes from a deep understanding of the industry’s pain points. These patents not only cover key areas like the core structure of equipment and intelligent control, but also help the company’s products obtain ISO9001 and CE certifications, making them suitable for the needs of various industries including food, electronics and medical care.

The accumulation of over 160 patents has transformed UBL from a single equipment supplier into a group enterprise. Its products are sold to more than 50 countries, serving over 30,000 customers including Xiaomi and Philips. Today, patent-driven innovation continues, acting as the core engine that propels UBL to lead the development of the smart packaging industry.
