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

Recently, TANNENG Intelligent Packaging, leveraging its technical prowess in the industrial packaging sector, has collaborated with multiple branches of China Tobacco, providing them with professional stretch packaging machines and packaging solutions.

This collaboration marks a powerful partnership between a national packaging brand and a large state-owned enterprise, jointly exploring the innovative application of smart packaging technology in the tobacco logistics sector.

01 Packaging Challenges in the Tobacco Industry As a large state-owned enterprise in China, the logistics system of China Tobacco has unique requirements for packaging. Tobacco products are characterized by high value, strict moisture-proof requirements, and difficult-to-control transportation losses.

From tobacco leaf re-drying to finished tobacco distribution, the tobacco industry has packaging needs at multiple stages. The diversity of pallet packaging specifications requires a more flexible solution.

Traditional packaging methods are inefficient and struggle to ensure consistency in packaging quality. Especially during peak business periods, the packaging process can easily become a logistics bottleneck, affecting the efficiency of the entire supply chain.

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

02 Technical advantages to meet the specific needs of the tobacco industry
TANNENG Smart Packaging provides professional stretch film packaging solutions, tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of the tobacco industry.

The equipment utilizes PLC programmable control and frequency converter control, ensuring reliable performance and ease of operation. Customized coating methods and coating times can be designed according to the characteristics of tobacco products.

Pre-stretching technology is a highlight of Yangzi’s packaging equipment, with a stretching ratio of up to 1:4 or even 1:4.5. This means that a 1-meter-long film can be stretched to a length of 4 meters or 4.5 meters, significantly reducing film consumption.

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

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

Cooperation is the foundation, and quality builds trust

Adhering to the philosophy of “quality over price”, the TANNENG fully automatic packaging machine upholds the principles of practicality, ease of use, and durability, continuously upgrading its products to the forefront of technology.

Its packaging equipment is widely used in industries such as foreign trade exports, food and beverage, canning, paper making, printing and dyeing, plastic chemical, glass and ceramics, as well as electromechanical casting. Leveraging its extensive application experience, it can provide reliable packaging solutions for customers across various industries.

TANNENG Intelligent Packaging has collaborated with numerous Fortune 500 companies, including Midea, Digital China, JAC Motor, and Schneider Electric China, which fully demonstrates its technological prowess and market recognition.

Packaging demand in the tobacco industry: The Chinese tobacco system has a large demand for packaging materials and strict requirements, and has been continuously purchasing various types of packaging materials in recent years.

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

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

Hebei Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. conducted procurement projects for tobacco leaf packaging boxes in 2021 and 2022, involving a large quantity and multiple redrying factories.

These procurement activities demonstrate the importance the tobacco industry places on packaging processes and provide ample opportunities for collaboration between Yangzi Intelligent Packaging and China Tobacco.

In the logistics center of China Tobacco, the TANNENG intelligent packaging equipment operates stably, providing reliable packaging protection for tobacco products.

As cooperation deepens, TANNENG Intelligent Packaging will continue to leverage its professional technology and reliable quality to assist China Tobacco in achieving intelligent upgrades of its logistics packaging processes, jointly writing a new chapter in the cooperation of national brands.
