The International B2B Certificate of DUNS® RegisteredTM

Syncmen is certified in DUNS®️ Registered TM which provides international companies with exclusive global identities. After receiving information collection and auditing by D&B, the company was awarded the DUNS Number®️ by Deng Bai. The 9-digit global coding system created by Shiji was built on Dun & Bradstreet's global corporate database and installed with the accredited Dun & Bradstreet Corporate CertificationTM logo.

Under the globalization of economic transactions, the unique global coding system of DUNS Number®️ (Data Universal Numbering System) is widely used in corporate identity and business information, and it can quickly identify the global information of over 250 million companies’ identity.

As an internationally recognized and commonly used company identification symbol for e-commerce, the world's most influential regulatory body, International Standards Organization (ISO), more than 50 global industry and trade organizations recommendations or requests using the D&B Global Coding system. If the world's top technology company, Apple Inc., stipulates that an IOS Developer Program must be applied for, the developed App can be uploaded to the App Store. The first step of applying for an iOS developer account requires Deng to provide White's Global Code.

The important role of entering the global supply chain

Most Fortune 500 companies also embed D&B Global Codes into their internal operating systems and processes through various means to manage the information of their business or supplier partners. Examples of major global brands require their suppliers to register on the BOM Check website to manage a large bill of materials. D2un & Bradstreet Global Codes must be provided when applying for BOM Check; Walmart, the world's largest retailer, also requires more than 20,000 supplies. The company provides this code to evaluate its products and services to ensure compliance with environmental regulations in order to develop a global supply chain market with a green supply chain. D&B Global is an important player in the global supply chain specification.

The International B2B Certificate of TÜV Rheinland

Syncmen also has TÜV Rheinland certification. Consumers require quality instruction guide. Consumers particularly trust the evaluation content proposed by neutral third parties such as TÜV Germany. For decades, TÜV Rheinland's test mark has been widely trusted by the market.

In the future, we will launch a clearer test mark and combine our Certipedia online certificate database to record our testing services.

Strict test mark usage specification

• In the future, test signs used in consumer product advertisements must be accompanied by reference information.  The reference information must briefly describe the testing items and standards that have been performed so that consumers can clearly grasp the relevant content.

We have established reference sources and published test content on Certipedia, an online certificate database that can be accessed and used at any time to provide test abstracts.

• A trusted database system that presents detection results from around the world in a safe and reliable manner.

• After completion of the development, Certipedia's scale will increase and become more efficient.

We guarantee information transparency and clarity

• Since January 1st, 2016, TÜV Rheinland has not issued the test ID of Universal ID for most certificates. The universal test flag ID provides only a basic introduction to the test results.

• As a whole, we only provide exclusive IDs in the future.

• These IDs allow consumers to more accurately grasp test content and certificate information.

A single "chi" to enhance its advantages - now we are committed to making it better

TÜV Rheinland's test mark – a unique "ambition" forever.

It represents safety and quality and has been effectively promoted and adopted in the industry. Consumers have long regarded it as a valuable reference guide.

However, legal norms and consumers have higher requirements. This is the reason why we update the system. With successful test marks and online certificate databases, we provide more advantages than ever before.

We have strengthened two decisive functions for the test mark:

• Update 1, Optimize Certipedia Certificate Database

Give consumers a better understanding of the test content and abstracts. All display content can be customized, such as displaying your company's trademark, and other consumer-related information, can also be used on your company's official website.

• Update 2. Create a unique ID number

Allow consumers to obtain clear and complete testing content and test summary information directly. TÜV Rheinland creates significant advantages for manufacturers, retailers and consumers.

TÜV Rheinland has created a more consumer-oriented and less error-prone reporting method. More transparent information can bring substantial benefits to manufacturers, retailers and consumers.

• Innovative test marks are matched with Certipedia, a widely recognized online certificate database that consumers can use anytime, anywhere.

• The revised German Rhein TÜV test mark will be paired with a dedicated ID number.

• A clear and complete test summary is presented on the www.certipedia.com website.

About the court's strict decision on the use of test marks

Recently, in a ruling of the Higher Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany, it was determined that the incomplete information on the test mark was a misleading advertisement copy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to redesign test marks that meet the new regulations and take enforcement actions.

In the future, test marks used in consumer product advertising must include relevant reference information without exception. The reference information must include brief test items and introduction of test standards, so that consumers can clearly grasp the relevant content.

The German Federal Supreme Court is expected to make a final decision on this in 2016.

Paper Bag Forming Machines

The paper bag forming machines are divided into two ways of continuity printing, one being offset printing, and the other being flexo printing. Offset printing uses flat paper to print and pouch, and with most bags using thicker paper (84 gsm ~350 gm) flexo printing uses rolls of paper to print and pouch, and mostly using much thinner paper(60 gsm ~125 gsm)

In this article, we focus on introducing the offset printing machines. It is divided into automatic and semi-automatic machines. Automatic certainly means that the whole process is controlled by the machine itself. While on the other hand, semi-auto means that it only does half of the job, which is forming the main bag by itself. Semi-auto machines are used mainly for soft-roped handles paper bags. 

With hundreds of sizes for paper bags on the market, our factory machines have the capability to produce different sizes with specific machines and they can satisfy the foreign and domestic demands for bags of different sizes.

Some of our machines include:

Automatic paper bag forming machines: 260/350/380/450/520

Semi-automatic paper bag forming machines: 350/42/450 (use for thick paper)

The numbers above represent the maxim width of the produced paper bags. It can also be used as a scale of size.  For example: 260 Automatic- creates bags width of 150~260 mm. 

Our full auto machines can not only 100% finished paper bags, but also produce the main body itself. We can adjust our production line according to the orders and timeline. Full auto machines can always be adjusted to do the work of semi-autos. 

With our many production lines running, we will always notify our clients if we need to adjust the schedule to meet the intended shipments. In the case, we have a bag size that fits more than one of the intended chosen machines; we’ll adjust our production lines to incorporate different machines into production. Of course, we also acknowledge there are clients who demand a designated machine or mold for production. We will do our utmost to fulfill the client’s desires and orders.  

The process of producing a paper bag requires details and attention. Quality control is a necessary and important step in our productions. We will make sure every shipment is right and on time. We will plan and adjust everything to make sure the bags get to you, and you get them to the customers.

How Do We Feel About Taiwan Trade Competition

In this competition, we cooperate with four students whom had spent much time on this competition. They’ve learnt much throughout the competition even though they are not new to the field. To conclude, these are the four students' experience about the competition.


Jimmy(Team Leader) :

Before this competition, I had already had some experience with other commerce related competitions. So when the opportunity presented itself for me to attend this, I did not hesitate at all to join. But only when the competition started, that I knew that this one was something much different than what I expected. It was much tougher but not in the work which we do, but being a leader. We had to do a lot of repeated task such as uploading products on the site. Which is a bit annoying sometimes, as we often had to keep up with our appointed working volume. We also had some frustration as one of our team member decided to quit midway. It was sure to cause some damage, but we were able to recover and put our momentum back on track. We hope we are able to enter the top ten in the competition. Not just for me and my team, but also for Syncmen and the team there. I know I can be proud of the efforts that I worked so hard for.

Samuel:

I was thrilled to know when there is a e-commerce competition being held at a national wide scale. So me and my buddies signed up knowing we would be able to learn a heap if we attended. And yes we did, a lot. Working with Syncmen is probably the best thing that can happen to our team. We were shown first-hand the details of e-commerce, something we were not familiar with. But we learned to adapt, and after a short period of time we were kicking in high gears and flying through the contest. I personally was excited to be tasked with shooting and producing the company introduction video, which was tiring. But the finished product was worth every effort. For me, the knowledge and skills attained in this experience is far more valuable than any prize. As it is these experiences that I will carry with me outside of the school walls.

William:

When I first heard about this contest, I immediately knew that it was goanna be a challenge for sure. With times in different aspect of the world of commerce, e-commerce has slowly taken up the need for traditional conventions. I knew I had to take this chance to catch up with the world. Me and my buddies came together to join this competition together, with high expectations as well. From being interviewed by different companies, and finally being picked to be able to work with Syncmen. We were excited to work together with Syncmen after knowing it's already proven experiences in the e-commerce scene. From beginning with no experience at all, to uploading more than 200 products. We also got to visit the production factory which was also something quite eye opening. Syncmen was extremely helpful during the whole process giving us every tip and sharing their experience so we could perfect our skills. Being able to learn how one simple paper bag is produced and sold throughout the world is truly fascinating. I thank them for giving us the most valuable experience in the actual working environment.

Wu:

I had no big ambitions when I signed up for this competition. I signed up merely because our teacher presented this opportunity during class. He persuaded me to join with the reason that this was going to be something I won’t regret attending. He was right. I have learned and experience a lot since it began. From being assigned work, to learning on the go of things I was not acquainted with. Especially advertisement focused on e-commerce sales. Even though it can be tiring and time consuming from time to time, but I think it is worth it. No matter the outcome, the experience itself already made me learn many new things.

Flexo Printing

Flexography

As we indicated in previous article (Offset printing), flexography (= flexo printing) is direct printing transferring the ink from the plate to the paper on roll other than offset. Following are the main features of flexo printing.

Flexography requires the product of so-called printing plates. Regarding printing plate, with its slightly raised image and letterpress, is rotated on a cylinder and coated by fast drying ink. Ink applied to the printing area, which is then pressed against the paper so it transfers. Therefore flexo printing is also known as “surface printing”, is a relief printing method that the image to be printed is higher than the background (See below picture).

Flexography compared with offset printing, it uses water-based inks are solvent-free, not only quick-drying but also more environmentally friendly. However, drying of water-based inks is extremely affected by the surrounding environment. When the weather is humid, printing sheets are easily affected with damp. When it comes to rain or splashing by water, the surface of printed image may easily reprint to other objects.

The main difference with both processes is that offset printing is only done on flat and smooth surface while flexo printing can be used on a wider range almost any substrate with a flexible surface. For example, it can be applied to corrugated cardboard, paper, cellophane, plastic and fabric. By using different machines provides a clear impression image on diverse materials. While offset printing is well-suited for short-run work, flexography provides more economical production.

What are Advantages of Flexo Printing:

·         Runs at high press speeds

·         Economical, with high-visibility graphics when it requires the use of only a few colors.

·         Printed material range is more widely than other printing processes.

·         Lower investment costs for printing related equipment and maintenance.

·         Water-based printing ink is more environmentally friendly.

The Experience of Visiting Factory

  On May 18th, our director Angel invited three students who assisted us in building up our Taiwan Trade website to visit our factory. The purpose is to let them understand the procedure how making a paper bag. After visiting the factory, three students share their experiences. Please see below:


Samuel:

Personally I was very excited to be able to visit and shoot the company introduction video at the production factory. Being a guy who really loves tech and mechanics, visiting a factory is like going to Disney. Every part of the tour was very fascinating for me. I got to see how much detail and attention is given into the production of each bag. From printing, choosing and tuning the colors to making sure everything matches the customer’s specific orders. To cutting the paper to the right dimensions. When everything is set in place on the production lines, it’s like magic…. Magically appearing paper bags. Everything is finished with a detailed quality control. I really enjoyed my visit, getting to see everything with my eyes, and through my camera lenses.



Jimmy:

It was a privilege for us to visit Syncmen Headquarters and also their production factories. We were shown production lines that we had never seen before, and learn the bits and pieces that contribute to the production of paper packaging. The scale of the factory was what really impressed me. The production lines and the many specialized production machines were truly eye opening. Touring the factory took us almost a full day, it was a tiring but fun experience. I really loved it.



William:

As you know, paper bags play an important role in our daily life. You may think that since it is so common, it must be plain and simple. But after my visit to the factory, it truly changed my perspective. Everything is more complicated than it looks. Many details and special machines go into the production of paper packaging. Everyone was focused on doing their part to ensure the quality of the product. Before I stepped in, I thought it was going to be a very hot and messy environment. Yet all I saw was organized production lines, and even some with air-conditioning to cool the machines. I really think that this is a great experience for me to learn a lot that things are always more than what meets the eye.
