The 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting will be held in Shenzhen on November 18–19, 2026 — the city’s most significant international event since the 2011 Universiade. Shenzhen World Packing Industry Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of adhesive tapes and stretch films based in Pingdi, Longgang District, understands full well: hosting APEC is everyone’s responsibility; safeguarding APEC is a test for every one of us.
Over the past two weeks, the entire city has entered “APEC time.” From more than 230,000 vehicle owners signing up for the green commuting pledge to companies actively responding to the flexible-work initiative, Shenzhen is showcasing its urban sophistication to guests from across the Asia-Pacific. Since its founding in 2019, World Packing has focused on eco-friendly plastic films, adhesive tapes, and packaging materials. Our products may not appear at the main venue, but they are closely tied to the city’s logistics and warehousing operations. That is why we support APEC in the most down-to-earth way: pursuing workplace safety to the highest standard and putting green commuting into practice.
Workplace safety is World Packing’s fundamental responsibility. Tape and stretch film production involves coating, slitting, and rewinding, with storage tanks operating alongside high-speed equipment — safety leaves no room for complacency. During APEC, we have increased safety inspections from once per shift to once every two hours, focusing on electrostatic grounding, emergency-stop responsiveness, and unobstructed fire exits. We have also added a team safety cross-check post for night shifts in the stretch film workshop. In Shenzhen during APEC, any production accident could detract from the city’s image — World Packing not adding to the city’s problems is our greatest contribution.
Green commuting is World Packing’s conscious action. Shenzhen has issued a “Green Commuting, Smooth Together” initiative. Packaging manufacturing is continuous-production — lines cannot stop — but administrative roles can make way. During the APEC work week (November 16–20), non-production staff in administration, sales, and finance work staggered hours or from home: on-site staff start at 10:00 a.m., and remote-capable positions work from home entirely. Production lines use staggered shift handovers — morning at 6:30 a.m., evening at 8:30 p.m. — reducing commuter traffic overlap. Company vehicles are suspended except for emergency deliveries, and the employee private-vehicle suspension pledge target is 100%. Every kilometer World Packing doesn’t drive means one less bit of congestion for APEC guests.
APEC brings long-term opportunities for World Packing to connect with Asia-Pacific markets. This year’s APEC focuses on Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area development and connectivity. World Packing’s stretch films, adhesive tapes, and printed tapes are already exported to South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Southeast Asia — essential consumables for cross-border trade and logistics. Supporting APEC’s safe and green hosting is a vote for the reliability of Shenzhen’s supply chain — when Asia-Pacific buyers see that World Packing manages safety and order meticulously even during the meeting period, why would they not trust every pallet shipped from here?
With less than a week until APEC opens, APEC-themed banners already line Shenzhen’s streets. World Packing cannot stand on the main stage — but we can keep every safety indicator light shining in our Pingdi workshop and take one less private car off the road each commute. That is the most sincere safeguard a Shenzhen packaging manufacturer can offer APEC.
