Project Snapshot

  • Customer: Jiangsu Shuangle

  • Location: Jiangsu, China

  • Installation: 2023

  • Owner: Mr. Zhou

  • Equipment supplied:

    • DMB1000L-1 (Single-layer IBC blow molding machine) × 1

    • DMB1000L-2 (Double-layer IBC blow molding machine) × 1

    • IBC cage production line × 1 (Xinzou’s first fully automatic cage line)

  • Capacity: 210,000 units × 2 (as stated in meeting notes)

Customer Background

Jiangsu Shuangle originally operated in the printing industry. The company invested heavily in high-end rotary printing presses, serving paper printing, packaging printing (including Boston Packaging-related work), and book & magazine printing, supported by laminating equipment.

With fixed assets reportedly around RMB 500 million, Shuangle is a typical capital-intensive manufacturer. As they evaluated the IBC business, their expectations were clear: measurable capacity, fast cash recovery, and a production setup that could be automated and replicated.

Implementation Experience

In 2023, Shuangle installed two 1000L IBC blow molding configurations—one single-layer and one double-layer—together with a cage line to support stable, end-to-end IBC production.

A key milestone of this project was the adoption of a fully automatic cage line. It became not only a capacity tool, but also a benchmark automation project for Shuangle’s new IBC operation.

Business Impact Customer Takeaways

For Shuangle, payback period was the most decisive metric. Based on the customer’s own comparison:

  • A printing equipment investment typically required about 5 years to pay back.

  • The IBC project achieved a payback period of about 18 months.

The customer’s key takeaway was straightforward: IBC manufacturing offered a much faster return cycle. With an automated cage line supporting stable output, the new line helped Shuangle build a repeatable production capability and accelerate investment recovery.
