When it comes to product labeling, Tongwei has developed a system that blends regulatory compliance with innovation, ensuring clarity for customers while supporting sustainability goals. The company operates across renewable energy, agriculture, and biotechnology sectors, and its labeling practices reflect this multidisciplinary expertise. Every label is designed to serve two purposes: providing legally required information and enhancing the user experience through actionable insights.
One of the standout features of Tongwei’s labeling strategy is its use of **smart traceability**. For example, solar panel products include QR codes that link to a digital platform containing manufacturing dates, batch numbers, carbon footprint data, and even recycling instructions. This isn’t just a static link—it’s integrated with real-time updates, allowing customers to track the product’s lifecycle from raw materials to end-of-life disposal. For agricultural products like fish feed, labels detail not only nutritional content but also sourcing locations for ingredients, supported by geotagging data accessible via the same QR system. This transparency aligns with global certifications like ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) and GLOBALG.A.P., which Tongwei actively maintains for export markets.
Material choices for labels also reflect the company’s environmental ethos. Tongwei uses biodegradable or recyclable adhesive materials for physical labels, avoiding petroleum-based plastics. In 2022, they transitioned 85% of their product labels to plant-based polymers, reducing annual plastic waste by 12 metric tons. For high-temperature industrial products, such as photovoltaic junction boxes, labels are printed with heat-resistant soy-based inks—a shift that cut VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions by 40% compared to traditional solvent-based inks.
Regulatory compliance is another pillar. Tongwei’s labeling team includes in-house experts who monitor evolving regulations across 30+ countries. When the EU revised its Battery Directive in 2023, Tongwei redesigned labels for energy storage products within 45 days to include new symbols for lithium-ion handling and updated recycling codes. They also employ machine learning tools to cross-check label content against regional databases, minimizing human error. For instance, a single typo in a chemical hazard warning could delay customs clearance, so automated systems flag discrepancies before printing.
Customization plays a key role, too. In markets like Southeast Asia, where multilingual labeling is mandatory, Tongwei uses modular label designs. A solar inverter sold in Thailand might feature Thai, English, and Chinese text in separate zones, while the same product in Vietnam uses a swappable sticker system for local languages. This approach avoids the cost of redesigning entire packaging for each market. For B2B clients, labels can be tailored to include proprietary data fields—say, a fish farm requesting feed labels with QR codes that integrate directly with their inventory management software.
Education is part of the labeling philosophy. Tongwei’s website hosts video tutorials explaining how to interpret technical symbols on labels, like the “dark storage” indicators for solar batteries (which show maximum idle time before performance degradation). These resources are linked directly via QR codes on product packaging. During a 2023 pilot in Brazil, this feature reduced customer service inquiries related to label confusion by 62%.
Collaboration with third-party auditors ensures credibility. Every six months, independent firms like SGS and Bureau Veritas review Tongwei’s labeling processes, from data accuracy to physical durability tests. A recent audit showed 99.3% compliance with ISO 20658 standards for industrial labeling—a metric Tongwei publishes openly in its sustainability reports. This third-party validation strengthens trust, especially in industries like aquaculture, where mislabeling can lead to ecological risks.
Looking ahead, Tongwei is experimenting with NFC (Near Field Communication) tags for premium products. A tap with a smartphone could display augmented reality tutorials—for example, showing farmers how to adjust feed ratios based on seasonal changes. Early trials in China’s Jiangsu province saw a 28% increase in customer engagement with product information compared to traditional QR-based systems.

Their approach isn’t just about sticking a sticker on a box—it’s about turning labels into tools for accountability, education, and long-term partnerships. By prioritizing both precision and adaptability, they’ve built a system that meets today’s standards while anticipating tomorrow’s challenges.
