Recently, Heyuan Guolong Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. announced that it will cease all operations and production starting November 29, 2025. This once ambitious company's quiet exit from the market reflects the current survival difficulties faced by the printing and packaging industry.
In its announcement, Heyuan Guolong Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. stated: "Since its establishment, the company has suffered severe losses and is struggling to survive. To save the company, the shareholders and management have made tireless efforts and tried various methods, but to no avail. Currently, some suppliers have filed lawsuits and seized the company's accounts and assets. The company's operations have indeed reached a point where they cannot be sustained..."
Currently, Heyuan Guolong Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. has officially terminated its labor contracts with all employees. To properly resettle employees and settle their wages, the company is making efforts to raise funds. Meanwhile, regarding suppliers, the company "has arranged for contact persons to coordinate and handle debt verification and filing matters."
Public information shows that Heyuan Guolong Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. was registered in September 2024 with a registered capital of 1 million yuan. Located in Heyuan High-tech Zone, Guangdong Province, the company has a full range of production equipment, including Heidelberg offset printing machines, laminating machines, hot stamping machines, and gluing machines. It focuses on the production and sales of printed packaging products such as color boxes, gift boxes, flyers, brochures, and books.
But no one expected that in just over a year, the company would be forced to cease production and operations. Its rise was meteoric, and its decline was equally sudden, a truly lamentable situation. It's not hard to guess that the weak recovery of the macroeconomy, fluctuations in raw material prices, increasingly fierce market competition, and insufficient working capital were undoubtedly the main reasons for the company's downfall.
The rise and fall of Heyuan Guolong Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. serves as a mirror, reflecting the fragility of the current packaging and printing industry ecosystem: the entry barrier for new businesses is low, but the survival barrier is extremely high; equipment can be quickly configured, but customer trust, cash flow management, and risk resistance capabilities require long-term accumulation. When any link in this chain breaks down, it can trigger a chain reaction of collapse.
The industry is facing difficulties, and business operations are challenging, but even a long winter cannot stop the arrival of spring; even heavy pressure cannot break a fighting spirit. May every company that perseveres see the dawn of victory as it forges ahead.
