Tahsin Printing only made paper boxes in Taiwan but when they set up a plant in Dongguan they discovered that it was hard to obtain the paper rolls they needed and thus learned how to make them themselves. Now the company makes paper boxes both from rolled paper and from colored flat paper.
東莞的大新彩印紙品公司就是一例，「大新」在台灣原只製作紙箱，來到東莞發現製作紙箱的紙板難以取得，於是研發製造紙板，「升級」成為紙板紙箱、平版彩色兼製的紙箱廠。
