Small and medium-sized garment factories embrace automation, and the Garment Packing Machine market has an opportunity to sink

As the trend of "machine replacement" in the manufacturing industry continues to deepen, the garment packaging link, which has long relied on manual operation, is ushering in a quiet automation revolution. Especially in small and medium-sized garment companies, the automation equipment that was originally difficult to afford is now rapidly popularizing with a new attitude that is more cost-effective. As one of the main equipment in this transformation, Garment Packing Machine is becoming a key tool to promote the implementation of intelligent manufacturing at the end of the industry.

In the past, many small and medium-sized garment factories invested resources mainly in the front-end processes such as fabrics, cutting, and sewing, while ignoring the importance of packaging as the "last mile". However, with the rise of e-commerce channels and the increasing trend of order fragmentation, packaging efficiency has directly affected the delivery speed and customer experience. Garment Packing Machine integrates functions such as automatic folding, bagging, sealing, and labeling, effectively replacing high-cost manual operations, and has become a key breakthrough for small and medium-sized factories to increase production capacity and control costs.

Unlike the high-investment, highly integrated automated production lines of large garment groups, small and medium-sized garment factories focus more pragmatically when purchasing equipment: low investment threshold, simple operation, convenient maintenance, and short effect cycle. This is exactly the key to the large-scale market expansion of domestic Garment Packing Machine in recent years - with "high cost performance" as the core, flexibly cut into various small and medium-sized production scenarios.

At present, the price of mainstream domestic Garment Packing Machine is concentrated in the range of RMB 30,000 to 80,000. Some compact equipment can be put into production at even RMB 20,000, which is much lower than the price of imported equipment of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. For many processing plants with a monthly output of 10,000 to 50,000 pieces, this price level is controllable, and the equipment usually pays back within 6 to 10 months, which greatly reduces the threshold for purchasing decisions.

Small and medium-sized factory customers have large differences in product structure and frequent order changes, so they have higher requirements for the adaptability and flexibility of equipment. The new generation of Garment Packing Machine generally adopts a modular structure, and users can choose whether to add automatic folding, coding, anti-wrinkle treatment, barcode upload and other functions as needed.

As the industrial chain gradually spreads to second- and third-tier cities and counties, the sales focus of Garment Packing Machine has also shifted downwards. Behind this trend is the strong demand of small and medium-sized factories to reduce costs and improve efficiency in the packaging process, especially micro-order processing points serving cross-border e-commerce and social e-commerce.
