In December 2019, Xiamen Lujiang Technology Co., Ltd, an enterprise specializing in the R&D, production and sales of portable thermal printers, was officially established in Xiamen, Fujian Province. In just seven years, this tech startup born on Egret Island has grown from a new industry entrant into a major global manufacturer of portable printing devices by virtue of self-developed core technologies. It has forged a path of high-quality development centered on innovation.
Staying True to Its Original Aspiration: From a Xiamen Startup to an Emerging Industry Star
Since its founding,Lujiang has targeted the niche track of “portable thermal printing”, taking R&D and innovation as the core driving force for corporate growth. It has steadily consolidated its foundation and completed the leap from a fledgling startup to an industry benchmark within seven years.
On December 5, 2019, Lujiang was founded in Xiamen with an in-house R&D department dedicated to core technologies for thermal printing equipment, kicking off its journey in the portable printing sector. In 2020, the company successfully developed and launched its first mini printer. The Dingdang Classmate error-correction printer was officially released. Compact and easy to operate, it quickly gained market traction. In the same year, the company filed more than 20 patent applications, laying a solid foundation for subsequent technological accumulation.
In 2021, multiple patents of Lujiang were granted. The company was awarded the title of National High-Tech Enterprise for its strong technical strength, marking national recognition of its R&D capabilities. 2022 stood out as a critical year for industrial upgrading at LuckJingle. Favored by overseas buyers for its outstanding performance, the mini printer prompted the company to independently develop firmware and invest in building its own factory and production lines. This enabled full control over the whole chain from R&D to manufacturing, driving substantial improvements in production capacity and product quality. In 2023, the company received more honors.
It was named a Xiamen Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative SME, selected as an entrepreneurial enterprise led by talents under Xiamen’s “Double Hundred Program”, and listed as an Innovative SME. Its standing in the industry was further strengthened.
In 2024, Lujiang continued to expand its intellectual property portfolio, accumulating 34 software copyrights and 64 patents in total. It was re-certified as a National High-Tech Enterprise, further reinforcing its technical moat. In 2025, integrating AI and smart living concepts, the company rolled out the Luxiaoyi and Koi Translator product lines. Their precise, high-quality smart experience boosted industrial upgrading. That same year, it obtained the qualifications of Technology-based SME and Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative SME.
By 2026, up to 70% of Lujiang’s research achievements have been commercialized. The company has led the development of an AI-powered full-scenario printing ecosystem and emerged as an influential Chinese player in the global portable printing industry.
Groundbreaking Innovation: Mastering Core Technologies to Consolidate Development Foundations
Lujiang always prioritizes technological innovation. It revamps its R&D model and resolves a host of long-standing industry pain points, securing a series of proprietary core intellectual property outcomes. It actively collaborates with developer platforms and global technical partners, spearheading R&D of cutting-edge technologies such as “multi-functional portability of thermal printers” and “intelligent technology for daily use”. It has become a key provider of information output technologies for life education, cross-border commerce and cultural & creative design.
Rooted in China, with a global vision. While developing the domestic market, Lujiang vigorously expands overseas markets. Reliable product quality and robust technology have brought its portable printing devices — symbols of Chinese smart manufacturing — to the world.
As of 2026, Lujiang’s products are sold to 195 countries and regions worldwide, making it a core supplier in the global portable thermal printer market. Beyond standard products, it delivers professional OEM and ODM services for global clients, customizing personalized printing solutions tailored to regional and individual customer needs, and has won wide recognition across overseas markets.
Forging Ahead: Marching Toward a Global Innovation Leader
From a small startup office in Xiamen to an industry frontrunner with a 12,000-square-meter modern production base, Class 100,000 clean workshops, 10 dedicated production lines and an annual output exceeding 10 million units. From the launch of its first mini printer to building an AI-driven full-scenario printing ecosystem, Lujiang has written an inspiring story of a Chinese tech enterprise focused on innovation and global expansion over seven years.
Lujiang now employs around 350 staff, including a cohort of professional technicians covering mold design, hardware and software engineering. It boasts a complete industrial chain spanning R&D, manufacturing and sales. Looking ahead, Lujiang will uphold its corporate vision of “striving to become a global innovation leader in portable printing”.
It will keep investing deeply in core technology R&D, enrich its product portfolio, improve its global service system, and meet the demands of users worldwide with higher-quality products and services. It will continue to contribute Chinese expertise to the upgrading and development of the global portable printing industry.
