From Being Mocked for ‘Unable to Produce Premium Packaging’ to Becoming Jakarta’s Fastest-Growing Packaging Factory in Just 90 Days

In Jakarta, Indonesia, a young packaging printing company with fewer than 30 employees dreamed of entering the premium packaging market.

They wanted to produce:

  • Luxury perfume packaging
  • Premium cigarette box printing
  • Cosmetic carton finishing
  • Metallic cold foil packaging

But reality was harsh.

Many high-end clients looked at their samples and simply shook their heads.

“This doesn’t feel premium enough.”

Especially their cold foil effects.

They once purchased a low-cost modified system from another supplier.

The results were disastrous:

  • Registration instability
  • Foil wrinkles
  • Poor adhesion
  • Massive material waste

One customer even told them directly:

“This doesn’t look like international-quality packaging.”

That night, the owner, Hendra, sat alone inside the workshop until sunrise.

Later, he searched online:

  • reliable cold foil machine supplier
  • cold foil unit for offset printing press
  • packaging cold foil solution Indonesia
  • high-speed cold foil printing equipment

That search eventually led him to TianXi.

Instead of rushing into a sales discussion, TianXi first carefully studied:

  • Their offset press model
  • Paper specifications
  • UV system configuration
  • Target customer positioning

Finally, TianXi recommended:

TianXi CFA-1020 Cold Foil Unit

Compatible with:

  • Heidelberg
  • KBA
  • Manroland
  • Domestic automatic sheet-fed screen printing and offset presses

Supporting:

  • 90–350gsm paper
  • 800–4000 pages/hour
  • Inline cold foil production

Most importantly, TianXi redesigned their production workflow to fit their limited budget.

The solution even optimized:

  • Packaging production workflow
  • Foil consumption control
  • High-speed tension stability
  • UV curing synchronization

After installation, the first official production run shocked everyone.

Under the workshop lights, the mirror-like metallic foil effect flowed beautifully across the packaging surface.

Even veteran workers stood silently watching.

Because previously, only large international factories could achieve this level of quality.

Just three months later, they successfully secured an international perfume packaging order.

During the customer inspection, the buyer even asked:

“Are you using European equipment?”

Hendra smiled and replied:

“No. This is TianXi from China.”

Later, he sent TianXi an email:

“Thank you for not treating us like a small customer.”

Today, the company has expanded into a second workshop.

And TianXi Cold Foil Unit became the key step that helped them enter the premium packaging industry.

Because true manufacturing is not only about machines.

It is about giving customers the power to change their future.
