1953
Thung Hua Sinn was established as a printing company in Chinatown, Bangkok. Our main products were stationery, schoolbooks, and calendars
Our Story
Established in Chinatown, Thung Hua Sinn Print Shop originally sold stationery, schoolbooks, and calendars
Our story begins in 1953 in four shophouses flanked by Tuk Tuk auto body shops on a compact street off Wongwian 22. The operation, then, was largely by hand, with people manually stapling lined sheets of paper into exercise books and fastening 365-page calendars with metal clasps. The company printed purchase order books and name cards and other stationery.
By the early 1970s, Thung Hua Sinn expanded our enterprise and started printing labels for canned goods, before venturing into other types of packaging. From the very beginning, we understood that packaging for modern consumption has to do more than contain and protect products like the shell of an egg. The modern packaging, unlike traditional containers like bamboos and lotus leaves, needs to communicate the essence of the products and differentiate brands to consumers. Beyond the visual appeal, it also needs to preserve the quality of the goods for extended periods of time, and, most importantly, be easy to use. We put extreme care into every process, whether it is to develop a thin 25-micron film, print with non-toluene ink, and seal a bag for use to wrap a frozen meal or a pair of underwear, or to print on carton, die-cut, laminate, and fold the cartons into tissue boxes or toy containers.
Today, Thung Hua Sinn Group produces labels, folding cartons, printed corrugated cartons, and all types of flexible packaging for FMCG, including food, garments, electronics, medical devices, and automotive parts.
THSG is certified with international accreditation for quality production and food safety such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GHP, HACCP, BRC/IOP, SEDEX and OHSAS 18001. We make sure that every production process adheres to the internationally recognised environmental guidelines. We are also the only company in Thailand that is 100 percent toluene-free. We lead the industry in utilising new technologies to reduce greenhouse gases and harmful waste.
