Glove business. Selection of equipment for the production of cotton gloves Business plan for the production of work gloves

If you decide to open, you need to choose and buy the necessary glove machines correctly. Let us dwell on the choice of equipment for the production of cotton gloves in order to establish a fast and high-quality production.

Despite the significant costs of modern automated equipment, it will pay off in 2 years. If you opt for a more affordable option, its work will slow down production, and it will take longer to pay off.

Machine tools for the production of gloves

There are plenty of companies manufacturing machines for the production of cotton gloves. Choose quality products, because your business depends on it.

When choosing equipment for the production of gloves, consider the following:

• low-quality machines stand cheap; using them in production, you may encounter a number of problems: slow operation, poor quality of products, constant breakdowns, violation of safety rules;
• equipment can be of high quality both with an electronic control unit (this is cheaper) and without it, but in the second case you will need to spend money on setting up machines and hiring specially trained workers;
• buy proven equipment that is not afraid of downtime, has warranty and post-warranty service;
• carry out regular technical inspections of machines in order to avoid serious breakdowns;
• when buying, read the certificates for the equipment, this will protect against the purchase of a fake;
• from time to time, upgrade equipment for gloves;
• pay attention to customer reviews.

Thanks to modern technologies, it is possible to produce gloves of different density and rigidity. Consider this when choosing equipment. Machines can additionally weave threads into the product, while it will be:

• strong enough;
• environmentally friendly;
• air permeable;
• with low cost.

For a full production cycle, the following machines are enough:

• knitting;
• overlock;
• for pvc coating;
• packaging.

knitting machine

The most important equipment for the production of cotton gloves is a knitting machine. The productivity of such machines depends on the number of knitting loops per inch.

For these purposes, you can choose a machine among the most popular models, such as AURORA and JOMDA.

Other brands of knitting machines include Shima Seiki and NewSFG.

overlock machine

The machine with the cuff processing function greatly increases the value of the products in the market. This is due to the fact that gloves fit better to the hand, which means they are more comfortable.

You will need an overlock and additional heat shrink thread that is sewn under the overlock stitch.

Pay attention to the SALUT-02 machine. Its advantages:

• high productivity (about 1,500 pairs per working day);
• compactness (dimensions - 1000x540x1500 mm);
• low power consumption;
• service is carried out by one seamstress.

Cost - from 45,000 rubles.

Application of PVC

Equipment for cotton gloves includes a machine for spot application of a PVC layer. With the right equipment, this is a simple and automated production process. PVC coated gloves are stronger and more durable.

PVC is applied to the surface with a thin layer of various patterns, up to the application of the logo. Keep in mind, the more complex the pattern, the longer the process of applying it. For high performance, the market is dominated by gloves with the simplest pattern. After applying the pattern, the products are placed in a drying chamber with the ability to control the temperature.

Among the popular models, PPM-1-M2 and GD-TD (more expensive machine) can be distinguished.

How can a store choose a range of work gloves?

How can a store choose a range of work gloves? Have in stock all types without exception or stop at a few popular positions? Glove Factory has prepared answers to these and other questions for you.

Three whales of the assortment: color, size and purpose

What attracts the buyer in the first place? Of course, color! Therefore, it is desirable to compose an assortment in such a way that several colors are present in it. If we take cotton gloves as an example, then the traditional colors - white, gray and black - can be supplemented with other options: orange, red, blue or olive. Olive and orange are high-quality hits of this season, speaking in the language of fashion. These gloves are made from durable yarn with the addition of quality polyester threads, which increases their durability and wear resistance. So such a glove will last long enough, it is not easily soiled, and in the version without PVC coating it can be washed and reused.

In addition, you can choose models with PVC coating in various colors: now in production it is possible to produce work gloves with PVC coating in black, blue and other colors. And various stencils - a dot, a wave or a protector - will help diversify the assortment within one model.

As for the size, it is necessary to take into account the fact that heavy manual labor is still the prerogative of more men than women, therefore it is better to offer gloves not only in a standard, but also in an enlarged size so that they can fit the size of a man's hand. Now the "Factory" produces models of standard size and products of improved quality with an increased size. The most popular models: 5-thread 24 size and 5-thread | LUX, as well as 5-thread LUX | Orange 24 size, 5-thread | OLIVA LUX 24 size

And of course, in order to understand which gloves you need to buy, you need to answer the question: “Why will customers buy gloves in our store?”

We take into account seasonality and the specifics of the store

When compiling an assortment of gloves for their intended purpose, you should consider the time of year when gloves will be sold, as well as the location and specifics of your store.

Let's start with the specifics and location, because it is these factors that will help you correctly form your assortment.

First of all, the most popular models should always be present in the assortment. From cotton gloves, for example, these are 5 threads with PVC, thick and medium gloves, class 10.

If there are, for example, a service station, a bus station or a taxi depot near you, you will most likely be in great demand for durable gloves that are resistant to wear and oil substances.

Thick gloves with PVC or latex coating, oil and petrol resistant leggings, as well as nylon gloves with different types of coating can form the basis of your sales.

If you sell household goods, you may be interested in such items as household rubber gloves, latex or nitrile coated gloves, and standard PVC coated gloves.

In the building materials store, you can offer all types of gloves for construction work: from universal cotton with PVC and gloves with latex coating to canvas mittens, glazier's gloves, dielectric gloves and welder's cuffs. Construction and repair is, as a rule, the largest consumer of both equipment and consumables, as well as overalls and PPE.

Work gloves can complement the assortment of an auto parts store, nylon gloves with PVC can be popular with buyers in art supply stores (nylon gloves are very thin and fit the hand well and allow for precise work), and with a floral print and a nitrile coating - in home and garden stores.

Production of PVC-coated cotton work gloves as a business

Gloves 3 strands with PVC coating - a great option for working in hot weather. They are thin, perfectly breathable, absorb moisture and do not hinder movement. 3-strand without PVC is the most budgetary model, which is also often used as an inner layer for leggings or other special purpose gloves.

In the autumn-winter period, the assortment can be expanded with insulated models, such as 5-thread wool blend gloves, insulated leggings and MBS gloves.

Enterprises that are engaged in knitting cotton gloves have very high income rates. Experts say they are 20 to 30%. The payback of such enterprises takes about two years. As a result, it is a very profitable and interesting business model. The main workforce of the enterprise is machine tools, so the production of gloves does not require a large staff.

What equipment is required for the production of cotton gloves?

Raw material - blended cotton yarn, which consists of cotton, viscose, acrylic and wool. The main suppliers are China, India, Pakistan and Türkiye. The quality of the material is determined by the country, for example, raw materials from China are not much inferior to India, all because the quality indicator is the basis - cotton. The cost of raw materials is in the range of 90 rubles. per kilogram. The country is indicated in the product certificate, so you can easily determine where the raw materials come from. Since machines or robots will be installed in the room, a connected electrical network with a voltage of 380 V will be required. Based on the calculation of income, a production process is required in which at least 10 machines will take part. Which, in turn, requires a large area. The cost of renting the premises will cost within 30,000 rubles.

1. Machine for knitting gloves, the cost of the unit is within $ 4000.
2. Overlock, based on the throughput of 200 pairs of gloves per hour - $ 2000.
3. The PVC coating machine is the most expensive part, the cost of such a machine will cost about $20,000.
4. $800 packaging machine.

How much money is needed to produce cotton gloves?

So, equipment for the production of cotton gloves, which produces up to a thousand pairs per day, will cost an individual entrepreneur $ 26,800. The stock of raw materials needed for production for two months will result in an amount of $ 7,000. In general, the estimate with all production units will cost around $ 35,000. The figures, of course, are approximate and the calculation is not accurate due to market dynamics, but you can rely on the approximate cost.

Recruitment and staff

In order for the enterprise to work and the production of working cotton gloves to go on continuously, a small staff of workers is needed. For production itself:

1. The operator, his main task will be to set the knitting program and monitor the process. Yarn breakage may occur and the machine stops working, this is a feature of the yarn and is not related to its quality. Therefore, the operator monitors the process. Then the blanks of gloves are collected in special bags, which are transferred to the seamstresses.
2. The seamstress is processing the cuff on the overlocker.
3. One more operator will deal with PVC coating.
4. The packer lays out the finished product in a packaging container.
5. As for the add. personnel, it will require a driver, an accountant and a customer service manager.

How much can you earn in the production of cotton gloves?

The general situation on the market is such that demand is steadily growing. Permanent construction sites, enterprises and factories are the main consumers of such products. Ordinary buyers are also interested. These are summer residents, people who are engaged in suburban work.

As can be seen from the table above, the production of gloves costs around 20 cents per pair, taking into account all production costs, wholesale purchase price: 30-50 cents. At retail, the price will be from 60 cents to 80. Therefore, the benefit is quite obvious.

Key customers can be: supermarkets, retail outlets, equipment contractors for large construction and industrial enterprises, housing and communal services. If it is not planned to work with large organizations, then the form of the enterprise may be - IP. When working with large companies, it is worth switching to a common tax payment system, as well as VAT registration.

We proposed our idea for a business, which has not lost its relevance for a long time. The costs at the first stage are large, but this is a one-time investment, which, at the end of the payback period, will continue to generate income. It is important to find ways to sell products as soon as possible. As a rule, in the future it will be possible to expand the sales network and increase the production of work cotton gloves.

a type of business that is distinguished by low start-up costs and the absence of sales problems. Cotton products are in high demand for various jobs. They protect hands well, but they wear out quickly and need to be updated, which keeps demand high throughout the year.

Scope and range

Cotton work gloves are used in various fields of activity - agriculture, during the construction of an object, during loading, in housing and communal services and when working with dangerous tools (hammer drill, grinder and others). They will be useful to every car owner and a good home owner.

Work gloves are conditionally classified by size, density, color and the presence of a special coating such as PVC. Products with “spraying” applied to the surface are used to protect hands when working with lubricated elements. The production of gloves without an additional layer is more aimed at covering the needs of summer residents and builders. The main advantage is the ability of the material to "breathe".

To implement the project, you will need a business plan, which will take into account initial and monthly costs, demand and other points. The study of competitors' products deserves special attention. It is important that the new product has better features or can be offered at a more affordable price.

Manufacturing features

The production technology of work gloves is simple. The main component is threads of various types - cotton, combined, half-woolen or woolen. For reliable fixation on the arm, an elastic band (cuff) is used, made of latex thread and trimmed with cotton. To give the finished product the best qualities, other elements can be added to the composition:

• Kevlar thread - makes the structure of work gloves more dense, protects hands from damage by sharp objects.
• Teflon thread - is resistant to high temperatures.

The production of work gloves is carried out using automated equipment (for example, a knitting machine). The process takes place in several stages:

1. Specifying the parameters of the finished product. The program sets the number of loops and rows. Depending on the type of equipment, the initial data is corrected on a digital display or a plastic chain. The first option is more preferable, due to the visibility of the process.
2. knitting. The device starts from the fingertips. When it comes to the cuff, rubber thread is added.
3. Finishing edges with an overlock (polyester thread is used).
4. Application of a protective PVC coating. When performing this work, plastisol is used. The surface is covered by screen printing. The type of pattern that will be reflected on the product is preliminarily indicated.
5. Drying and packaging.

Equipment and raw materials

The business of manufacturing work gloves requires the utmost attention to the choice of equipment and raw materials that will be used for manufacturing. To automate the considered technological process, the following equipment will be required:

• Knitting machine or glove machine. With this equipment, you can produce up to 350-400 pairs per day.
• Overlock (similar performance).
• Equipment for applying a protective PVC layer. Such a machine is capable of processing up to 800 pairs per hour.
• Machine for drying the finished product.
• Packaging equipment.
• Additional tools (pushers, needles, etc.).

To increase business productivity, it is worth purchasing several knitting machines. At the initial stage, 2-3 machines are enough, and in the future their number can be increased to 17-20 devices.

In the manufacturing process, the following raw materials will be required (cost for the production of one pair):

• Latex thread - 1 g.
• Combined yarn - 40 g.
• Overlock thread - 0.3g.
• PVC coating - 6 g.

How to register?

The production of work gloves, as a business, requires official registration with the relevant government agencies. If the sale of products will be carried out at retail (ordinary citizens), it is enough to register an IP. If you want to expand the sales market and cooperate with companies, you will have to register an LLC. The next step is choosing the form of taxation. Here, options are possible with the simplified tax system or UTII. The main volume of finished products will go to companies, so you should choose the form of taxation with VAT (when registering an individual entrepreneur, 4-NDFL is suitable).

Room selection

The location of the workshop does not matter - it can be located within the boundaries of the settlement or outside it. The main thing is that the staff has the opportunity to get to work on time. Requirements for the premises:

• Area - from 70 sq. meters.
• Summing up an electric 3-phase network (380 V). If this is not the case, you will have to pay a lot of money for drawing up a project and connecting electricity.
• Presence of heating.
• Sufficient lighting.

Staff

Despite the complete automation of the process, one cannot do without the involvement of workers. The task of the seamstress will include changing the yarn, collecting and distributing finished work gloves. The number of employees depends on the volume of production. So, if you have several machines (up to 30), you will need:

• Seamstress - 2 people. The task of one worker will be to maintain the machines for the production of work gloves, and the second one will wind the cuff of finished products using an overlocker.
• Operator - 1 person. The duties of the employee will include the application of PVC coating, as well as the adjustment of equipment (part-time). On average, one master is able to service up to 50-60 cars.

Prices and market

Against the backdrop of high competition, it is important to pay attention to pricing - it should be slightly lower than that of other manufacturers. With a density of 42 gr. and viscosity 7.5, the cost of the product (when selling from 100 pairs or more) - 10-15 rubles. per unit of production. The price for the goods may vary, taking into account the ordered volume of products in the batch. When selling at retail, the price will be higher - 16-18 rubles.

Work gloves are in demand all year round, and if new customers are attracted, the need for this type of protection will only grow. Every day there are construction companies that need to equip their employees.

The finished product can be sold through the following channels:

1. Private persons.
2. Garden or construction outlets.
3. Industrial enterprises (direct cooperation).
4. Municipal formations (communal services).

Financial part of the project

Before starting a business in the production of work gloves, it is worth deciding on the initial costs (investment), potential profit and payback rate.

Initial costs:

• Rent of a production workshop - 15-17 thousand rubles.
• Equipment - 1.8-2.0 million rubles.
• Taxes and payment of housing and communal services - 40 thousand rubles.
• Staff salaries - from 60 thousand rubles. (depending on the number of employees).
• Raw materials - 50 thousand rubles.
• Other expenses - 1,000 rubles.

As a result, starting investments for organizing a business amount to 2-2.2 million rubles.

Depending on the production schedule, in one month you can produce:

• 35-37 thousand knitted products.
• 33-35 thousand overlock blanks.
• 43-45 thousand pairs with PVC coating.

With such a volume, the monthly profit is 300-400 thousand rubles.

Net profit - 80-90 thousand rubles.

The profitability of the business is 20-25%, and it is possible to recoup the initial costs in 2-3 years.
