Machine blew products-machine production line, the output is relatively high, usually, a medium production line can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of daily production, but without any human skills.
The hand-blown products-each each production process of each product is completed manually, the output is low, usually, the daily output of each production team is hundreds, but each product contains the unique craftsmanship and meticulous craftsmanship of craftsmen.
