Behind the Scenes: A Day in Our Wallpaper Factory

 

8:00 AM – Start of the Workday & Raw Material Inspection

The factory comes to life as workers clock in and prepare for the day's production schedule. The first task? Checking raw materials, including:
Wallpaper base materials – Non-woven fabrics, vinyl, or textile backings.
Inks and pigments – High-quality, fade-resistant, and eco-friendly.
Adhesives and coatings – Ensuring wallpapers stick well and resist moisture.

🔹 Key Process: Every batch of materials undergoes strict quality control to maintain consistent performance and appearance.


9:00 AM – Printing Process Begins

With materials inspected, production lines start printing wallpapers. Depending on the design, we use two main techniques:

A. Rotary Screen Printing

Uses engraved rollers to apply layers of ink.
Ideal for embossed and textured wallpapers.
Produces deep, vibrant colors with rich effects.

B. Digital Printing

Prints high-resolution images directly onto wallpaper.
Faster production with customization options.
Uses eco-friendly, water-based inks with minimal waste.

🔹 Key Process: Skilled operators continuously monitor color accuracy and print quality to ensure flawless results.


10:30 AM – Texture & Embossing

For luxury and decorative wallpapers, embossing adds depth and texture:
Heat embossing – Heated rollers imprint raised patterns.
Flocking – Applies fine fibers for a velvet-like finish.
Metallic foiling – Adds gold, silver, or pearlescent effects.

🔹 Key Process: Embossing must align perfectly with the printed pattern for a seamless look.

 


12:30 PM – Lunch Break

After a busy morning, employees take a well-deserved lunch break.

 


14:30 PM – Drying and Curing

Wallpapers now pass through industrial dryers or UV curing machines. This step ensures:
Strong ink adhesion—preventing smudging and fading.
Water resistance and durability—especially for washable wallpapers.
Flexibility for easy rolling and packaging.

🔹 Key Process: Drying time is precisely controlled to prevent cracks, wrinkles, or defects.


15:00 PM – Quality Inspection and Cutting

Before wallpapers are packaged, quality control specialists inspect each roll:
Color matching – Comparing samples to ensure consistency.
Texture uniformity – Checking for defects in embossed patterns.
Seam alignment – Ensuring patterns match perfectly between strips.

Once approved, wallpapers are cut into standard or custom sizes:
10m x 53cm (standard roll size).
Custom mural panels for unique wall designs.

🔹 Key Process: High-speed cutters ensure precise, clean edges without damage.


16:30 PM – Packaging & Labeling

Each wallpaper roll is:
Wrapped in protective plastic to prevent dust and moisture damage.
Labeled with batch numbers for quality tracking.
Packed into cartons for bulk shipping or direct customer orders.

🔹 Key Process: Automated machines ensure accurate packing and order fulfillment.


17:30 PM – Warehouse & Shipping

Orders are sorted and prepared for delivery:
Bulk orders are loaded onto pallets for international export.
Smaller, custom orders are packed for local or e-commerce shipments.

🔹 Key Process: Our logistics team ensures on-time delivery with proper handling.


18:00 PM – End of the Workday & Equipment Maintenance

As the shift ends, machines are:
Cleaned and calibrated for the next production run.
Lubricated and maintained to prevent downtime.

🔹 Key Process: Regular maintenance ensures smooth production and high efficiency.

Behind every wallpaper roll is a carefully controlled production process that blends technology, craftsmanship, and strict quality control. From design printing to embossing, drying, cutting, and packaging, every step ensures high-quality, visually stunning wallpaper for homes and businesses worldwide.
