Business plan for creating shopping bags and others

How it all started

I have always dreamed of starting my own business. However, it had to meet several requirements:

• do not require significant, initial investment;
• be competitive;
• do not depend on the crisis, default and other cataclysms in the foreign exchange market;
• be in demand.

Only one thing stopped me - I did not know which products are most suitable for this. And so, somehow walking along the streets of the city, I noticed that passers-by were running, hurrying about their business and everyone was holding packages with a wide variety of things - food, books, clothes.

Thus, the idea was born to create a private business for the production of plastic bags, at minimal cost.

Why did I carefully calculate everything?

Initially, I made a list of the necessary equipment:

• Extruder for making film from raw materials;
• Machine for cutting and soldering polyethylene;
• Punching press for the manufacture of handles;
• Flexographic machine to print attractive logos, designs.

Roughly calculated the cost of buying machine tools by looking at their prices on the Internet. I needed about 600,000 rubles, which, in our time, would not be a problem to get.

Not much, given that I planned to find companies that would be willing to pay good money for advertising - their logo on my packages.

It would seem that, in general, everything is ready, but I understood that without a well-written business plan, my production could fail at the initial stage.

• competitiveness;
• gradation of demand for goods;
• raw material costs;
• payback of the project;
• regulations, laws and many more details.

Where can I get a business plan template?

Realizing the inexpediency of spending on services consulting agency(as I roughly calculated, in order to pay for them, my factory will need three days of work), I decided to create economic program on one's own.

To do this, I downloaded an inexpensive business plan template on the Internet. It should be noted here that the network is full of free ones. Of course, I tried to download them, but the data there is so outdated that even if I substituted my derivatives, it would be impossible to achieve a clearly calibrated program.

But the template bought for 500 rubles pleasantly pleased me with a real analysis of the modern sales and consumption market. I substituted my values ​​​​into it and brought the data together in a special program, of which there are also a lot on the Internet, and I received a ready-made business plan.

Having carefully studied it, without a drop of doubt, I decided to establish my own derivative line, since the results of the payback were 100% satisfactory to me.

The next month, I spent in endless running around - I registered an IP, registered a company, looked for premises and workers, agreed on the placement of advertising logos and points of sale, and purchased equipment.

Soon, my workshop was opened and it works clearly, fully complying with the parameters of the business plan. Daily revenue is about 30,000 rubles, respectively, monthly - 900,000 rubles.

Within a year, taking into account all the costs of rent, salaries, raw materials, paying taxes and bills, I fully paid off my investment and began to receive quite stable profits.

The main stages of the production of paper bags and bags

Paper bags are significantly superior in their consumer properties to plastic ones. First, they are definitely environmentally friendly. Secondly, everything is well stored in paper bags - from food to handmade souvenirs, cement and sand. Huge Dignity paper packaging that it is easy and pleasant to work with her.

It is possible to manufacture paper bags of various shapes and sizes: from large capacious bags to small and neat bags. And do not forget that the paper itself is inexpensive, so it is profitable to use it.

The production process looks like this:

1. workpiece manufacturing;
2. drawing a logo or image (selective stage, depends on the desire of the customer);
3. gluing or flashing the bottom;
4. pressing and packing.

Additional services - equipping packages with valves, manufacturing and fastening of handles. They complicate production, which increases the cost. finished products. But in general technological process takes not so much time. Our company fulfills some orders promptly, quickly providing the client with any batch of necessary bags and packages.

Making a workpiece

The first stage is the production of a paper tube. It consists of several layers glued together with high-quality moisture-resistant glue. For greater strength, we apply a transverse fold, and the service life of the bag is significantly increased.

Packages and bags with a glued bottom are made of a perforated tube with longitudinal slits. Perforation is needed to create a hole in the bag so that it is convenient to fill it with any bulk food or construction mixes. Then the tube is driven through the line, where a special apparatus separates it into finished bags.

Logo laying on

At the request of the customer, any symbol can be applied to the bag or package: trademark, logo, inscription or image. Such a package will be an excellent advertisement for a restaurant, chain fast food, supermarket, large corporation and attract more customers.

The company uses all modern printing techniques. Best suited for mass production offset printing, it is inexpensive and makes it possible to apply a monochrome or multi-color pattern. Another popular way is flexography. The price of printing is slightly higher, but the image looks very attractive, and this method is optimal for applying noticeable logos of large organizations.

There are exclusive printing options: embossing, and silkscreen printing. The production of such packages will not be cheap, but the products will turn out to be original and presentable.

Bottom gluing

Any bags - open and closed - have a glued or stitched bottom. Stitched packages and bags are stronger and stronger than glued ones. For the production of such paper bags a high-quality nylon thread is used, which is put into one or two layers along the bottom of the bag with a special “chain” stitch. In glued bags, the bottom is formed by pressing. It turns out a solid, strong product, ready for use.

Pressing and packaging

The very last stage is the pressing and packaging of a batch of bags and bags on a special installation. Bales are marked, stacked, sent to a warehouse or to transport company. Then they are delivered directly to customers. The company is ready to release any batches and deliver them to the buyer on time in any convenient way.

Overview of the market for the production of paper bags and bags

Every year, mankind pays more and more attention to environmental protection. The popularity of environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly and made from renewable resources (or with their help) is growing: hybrid cars and electric cars, healthy food without the use of genetically modified organisms, and much more. This also applies to packaging materials. In many countries, supermarkets offer a choice of a free bag made of paper and other environmentally friendly materials or a paid plastic (polyethylene) bag. Some countries are phasing out plastic packaging entirely, using paper and textiles instead. The existing production facilities are being re-profiled in accordance with new market demands. Today, one of the promising business areas is the production of paper bags, which remains the most environmentally friendly and affordable alternative to plastic packaging.

In Russia, paper packaging is not as popular and widespread as in Europe. However, various studies and surveys of entrepreneurs involved in the production of paper packaging indicate a positive market trend. The market capacity of paper bags and sacks, according to various estimates, is in the range of 700 million - 1.5 billion rubles. Therefore, this segment of the business is quite promising, especially against the backdrop of the popularization of environmental issues. Demand for paper packaging is growing. Including because there is a huge amount of materials that are forbidden to be packed in plastic bags. For example, a row food products(flour and sugar), charcoal for barbecues (here the paper bag has a double duty: it is also used for lighting), some Construction Materials(gypsum, alabaster, cement, etc.) and much more.

Therefore, the market for paper bags is practically unlimited, and the enterprise for their manufacture is one of the win-win options. own business. It is not tied to either the raw material or the location. The raw material is thick paper, often recycled, the producers of which are in abundance in Russia. Paper bags are in demand in a wide range of industries, equally in large and small cities, urban-type settlements and other settlements. The dimensions of the equipment used in the production are quite compact, which will save on renting space. At the same time, even a person without experience can work on such equipment.

The manufacturer of paper bags and bags has an almost unlimited advertising resource, which can be either sold (that is, apply third-party advertising materials to their products) or used for their own marketing purposes (print their own advertising). In the first case, this provides a considerable additional income, quite comparable with the income from the main activity. In the second, it allows you to do without the cost of promoting your products.

Advantages and disadvantages of paper packaging production

This will be the first step towards organizing a highly profitable and promising business.

Technology for the production of paper bags and bags

A novice entrepreneur is obliged to study the technology for the production of his future products. To select high-quality equipment for the production of paper bags. Understanding the intricacies of making paper packaging is not difficult. This is a simple and fast process that does not require significant time and money investments.

The paper bag production process consists of 5 technological steps:

Production of blanks according to a pre-designed project. The bag blank is a multilayer glued paper tube. Using a special installation for mixing soluble glue, the workpiece is glued. Some types of paper packaging require perforation. This process is carried out automatically or semi-automatically using a perforator.

Drawing a logo or drawing. For these purposes, various modern methods application - offset printing, flexography. Choose the most best option for your production, you can contact the printing house with which you plan to cooperate.

Valve preparation. This step is assumed if closed bags with a valve are produced. Valve blanks are made on a semi-automatic paper tape cutting machine. The valve itself is made on a valve machine.

Firmware or gluing the bottom of the package. Paper bags are divided into two types: stitched and glued. They are distinguished by strength (sewn somewhat stronger than glued), as well as manufacturing time and cost - the former are more expensive, since their production requires a nylon thread. It is recommended to select one type of paper bag for production, because different binding methods require different equipment. For glued bags, final gluing is used with a press, and for stitching, a device is needed that performs multi-layer stitching of the bottom of the paper product.

Pressing and baling in a packaging plant. The bales are then labeled and stored or transported directly to the buyer.

Equipment for the production of paper bags and bags

for the production of paper bags and bags, but the fundamental difference is in the capacity of the equipment. The latter, as a rule, predetermines the type of equipment: low-power lines are semi-automatic mini-factories, and lines great performance in most cases automated. Of course, the price depends on the type of line.

Depending on the starting capital, you can purchase production lines that are completely different in price and characteristics. The basic minimum consists of: a machine for multilayer gluing of blanks, equipment for forming and gluing bags, piercing machines. With the development of business, production can be gradually expanded by purchasing optional equipment. For the initial stage, you can organize a small workshop with a production capacity of no more than 250 bags per hour.

You can buy new or used equipment. For example, a used machine UBT-200M (semi-automatic) can be bought for 300-400 thousand rubles and equipped with additional equipment. Then the minimum production line will cost about 700-900 thousand rubles.

Let's take a closer look at the cost and configuration of the new automated line.

Equipment for the production of paper packaging

Device	Power	Application	Cost, thousand rubles
	up to 120 blanks per minute, Number of blank layers: 1-5.	The line automatically produces blanks of 1-5 layers with longitudinal and transverse gluing, with the application of sector perforation and longitudinal cuts
	Capacity: up to 80 valves per minute	Produces single paper flaps of various sizes for gluing into closed bags (valve)
	(included in the cost of UBT-3000)	Lifting and moving mechanism
	open bags - up to 550 pcs. at one o'clock; closed bags - up to 250 pcs. at one o'clock.	Machine for forming and gluing the bottom of an open and closed paper bag
		Plant for stirring cold-soluble glue
	up to 5000 meters of single tape per hour, which generally corresponds to the performance of the line as a whole	Semi-automatic machine for cutting fastening, cushioning and cover tape (sheets)
	PFM-2 (two-color printing)	Devices for printing flexographic PFM, which can be equipped with the UBT-200M machine
	PFM-3 (three-color printing)
	PFM-4 (four-color printing) working speed – 95 m/min
		Hydraulic press for bag boiling
The price of equipment is presented on the website www.meshkodel.ru

This table will allow you to calculate the cost of equipment and plan production. For example, a complete set of a line that produces up to 800 thousand open or 360 thousand closed bags per month, with printing up to 2 colors, will cost 6.5 million rubles.

Such a large difference in prices is easily explained by the productivity, which is up to 120 blanks per minute, regardless of the number of paper layers for the produced bags (from 1 to 5).

It should be noted that Hydraulic Press for boiling and the installation for stirring the glue, it is advisable to purchase only for large-scale production. If you plan to organize a small workshop, then you can do without this equipment. Another important point: it is possible to complete the machines with additional equipment only for low-power lines; and high-capacity lines, as a rule, are sold complete, tuned and adjusted to certain production parameters.

Technically, the line for the production of paper bags and bags consists of the following units and blocks: an unwinding unit, a block for interlayer transverse gluing of paper layers, a block for longitudinal gluing of paper layers, a device for forming a paper sleeve with one side fold (fold) and three side folds (folds) according to GOST R53361-2009, a perforation unit (up to 144 holes up to 3 mm in diameter) with a slitting device for making a glued bag bottom, a sleeve pulling and cutting device with a counter of finished paper tubes, a conveyor and a finished product receiver. Production is fully automated and controlled from the control panel.

Separately, it should be noted that the line for the production of paper bags and bags also has useful property be reconfigured to the desired format of products (length - from 30 to 120 cm; width - from 20 to 61 cm for the described line), in contrast to mini-factories that produce packages or bags of only a predetermined and set format and require structural additions for its shifts.

The line is usually equipped with an additional flexographic printing unit, as well as a lifting and moving mechanism for installing paper rolls weighing up to 1 ton, which automates the supply of paper rolls. Types of produced paper bags - any.

Raw materials and consumables

One of the advantages of paper packaging production is the availability of raw materials. Here you can use paper of any kind, structure and density. Most often they use cardboard, craft, coated paper, efalin, luxpack, artlibris. In the production of paper bags, thick paper from recycled materials, for example, from recycled waste paper, is used. For the manufacture of paper bags with handles, cardboard or any other dense type of paper is used.

The cost of ordinary bag paper is 65 rubles. per kg, and kraft paper bag and with laminate - 50 and 130 rubles each. per kg, respectively. High transport costs make it unprofitable to buy one roll, besides, the cost per kg of paper in large rolls is lower, so it is recommended to buy in bulk. Minimum working capital for semi-automatic production are estimated at 200-300 thousand rubles.

Personnel and premises for the production of paper bags and bags

The choice of premises when organizing the production of paper containers has quite flexible criteria. Therefore, difficulties in this process should not arise. The main factors to pay attention to are: the premises must be equipped with plumbing, sewerage and 380 V electricity. the main raw material belongs to flammable materials. Smoking and the use of heating devices (except for steam and oil radiators) are prohibited in the workshop.

Required production area - 100 sq. m. This will be enough to accommodate a workshop with equipment, a warehouse for raw materials, a rest room for workers and a director's office. The cost of renting such an area may be different - depending on the location and region. For this business, the location of production is not so important, so you can choose a more budget option on the outskirts of the city or in the industrial zone. average cost rent 100-150 sq.m. for Moscow and St. Petersburg will be approximately 60 thousand rubles, in Russia - 34 thousand rubles.

* according to the Avito website as of 04/02/2018

Regarding the personnel, it should be said that most of the workers belong to the category of unskilled workers under the leadership of a foreman who is also a technologist, and their number directly depends on the type of line and the installed equipment. For example, UBT-3000 is served by 2 people, printing device of any type - 1 person, a technologist (foreman) sits at the control panel, etc.

In general, any unit requires one operator, except for the aforementioned UBT-3000 and USD-6M, which must be served by two. On average, 4-5 people are required to service one mini-line, while 8-10 people are required for a “large” one. IN this example It is assumed that there will be a staff of 4 employees who will work in shifts in shifts. This will improve the efficiency of workers and avoid idle machines.

Start-up and monthly expenses of the enterprise

Depending on the planned scale of the project, the initial investment in the paper bag business can range from 1 to 7 million rubles. As an example, calculations are made for a price equipped with an automated production line UBT-3000. More accurate cost estimates and revenue forecasts can be obtained by developing a business plan that will take into account all the nuances of a particular project. The main costs for starting a business from scratch in this case consist of the following items of expenditure:

rent of production areas - 120 thousand rubles;

purchase of equipment - 6.5 million rubles.

You should also consider the cost of setting up a business. Since the production of paper containers is focused on corporate clients, then it is recommended to register an LLC. As the main activity, according to OKVED-2 classification, the following should be indicated: 17.21 Manufacture of corrugated paper and cardboard, paper and cardboard containers.

Paper packaging production activities are not licensed. It is only required to obtain permission to open in the Fire Service and SES. Thus, the cost of solving bureaucratic procedures will amount to about 20 thousand rubles. In addition to the initial investment, there are monthly expenses, which include salaries to employees, utility bills, rent of premises and taxes.

Profitability of production, income

At competent organization business, the production of paper packaging can bring its owner high income. The monthly revenue of a small enterprise can reach 1 million rubles. And here automated production can bring much more. To calculate profit, it is necessary to determine what the cost of manufactured products will be. How to calculate the cost? With the help of the following indicators:

the average cost of raw materials is 50 rubles. per kg;

consumption for 1 package with a size of 120x150x50 mm, - 0.09 kg of raw materials.

other expenses (employee salaries, energy costs, depreciation, etc.) for 1 package - 0.5 rubles.

Based on these data, the cost of 1 package will be 5 rubles. With a retail price of the product of about 12 rubles, the profit from the sale of 1 package will be 7 rubles. Now you can calculate the profit received from the production on a semi-automatic machine (250 bags per hour). For a month, the number of working hours will be about 160 hours, for which 40,000 packages can be produced. The proceeds from the sale of this volume of products will amount to 480 thousand rubles

Automatic line can produce from 200 thousand pieces. per month. In this case, the revenue will be 2,400 thousand rubles.

If we subtract the cost, we get a profit before tax equal to 280 and 1,400 thousand rubles, respectively. After taxes net profit will be about 240 thousand rubles. for semi-automatic production and 1,120 thousand rubles for an automated line. With this level of profit, the initial investment can pay off within 1.5 years. And the profitability of the business will be 25-30%.

Possible risks of paper bag production

Before deciding to start a paper packaging business, one should evaluate possible risks project. The main problem affecting the profitability of production is the search for cheap raw materials. Therefore, it is recommended to use secondary raw materials and make bulk purchases. Supplies.

Ready-made ideas for your business

Another important problem is finding buyers. Before starting production, agreements should be made for future packaging deliveries. Your products may be interested in grocery and Retail Stores, bakeries, fast food establishments, printing houses, agricultural and industrial enterprises producing mineral fertilizers and building materials. To work with potential clients, it is recommended to develop Commercial offer and presentation of your products. Work on finding customers must be carried out constantly so as not to lose the pace of sales and profits. It is recommended that you start looking for customers and potential customers long before your line is equipped with all the necessary production equipment and before the first batch of goods is manufactured.

Due to the fact that specialized equipment is involved in the production, technological risk should be taken into account. Breakdown of machines can lead to a complete stop of production and lead to loss of profit. To minimize this risk, equipment and vendors should be carefully selected. It is advisable to purchase new machines, not trying to save on used ones. Now some suppliers of specialized equipment also offer services for its maintenance and repair. This is very convenient, as it simplifies the process of managing technological risks.

To consolidate the information, we repeat the main recommendations when opening a business for the production of paper packaging:

To save on the purchase of consumables, purchase recycled materials.

High-tech equipment for the production of paper bags is more expensive, but very economical in terms of energy consumption. Pay attention to the characteristics of the purchased devices.

The client base can be created and expanded using Internet resources: create your own website, send out a commercial offer to email potential customers, add information about the company on various forums and social networks. networks, place commercials on popular portals.

It is best to seek out customers and regular customers before starting production or at the initial stage of work.

For a more accurate study of the sales market, production planning and profit forecasting, develop a business plan. This will allow you to take into account all the nuances and competently plan all business processes.

The advantage of opening a production, whose activity is the manufacture of paper packaging, lies in the availability of raw materials. Here you can use paper of any kind, density, structure. Most often used cardboard, efalin, craft, coated paper, luxpack, artlibris.

Making paper bags with handles will require the use of cardboard or any other equally dense material. Products are carefully glued or stitched (depending on the design). Bags and bags for beer are carefully glued in several layers during production, and then cross-gluing is also performed. Bread bags are made of thin paper and do not need seam reinforcement. Bags for flour and other bulk goods are made from multilayer paper. All seams are sewn with thick thread.

Start-up and monthly expenses of the enterprise

Renting premises and purchasing equipment will require significant financial investments. The rental price varies depending on the region and area of ​​the premises. On average, the amount will be from 50,000 per month and above.

When creating a small workshop for the purchase of machine tools, an entrepreneur will spend about 600,000 rubles. A more powerful enterprise will cost at least 950,000 rubles at the start. An automatic line that performs all production cycles will cost at least 2,300,000 rubles.

Fund wages for 4 experienced employees will be at least 90,000 rubles. At the first stage, you can hire two people and take on part of the work. With the growth of production, it will be necessary to recruit additional staff.

At least 15,000 rubles will be spent monthly. for household needs, and about 40,000 rubles. to pay taxes.

Profitability of production

The production of paper bags, if you approach the organization with all seriousness, is a business that brings its owner a high income. The monthly revenue of a small enterprise will be at least 240,000 rubles. That is, all investments will pay off in 10-15 months.

The cost of raw materials is 35,000 rubles. per ton. One package, 120x150x50 mm in size, takes about 0.09 kg of raw materials, that is, 3.15 rubles. If we take into account other expenses (employee salaries, energy costs, etc.), then the cost of 1 package is 3.25 rubles. The retail price of the product is about 10 rubles. Hence, the profit from the sale of 1 package will be 6.75 rubles.

Now it is possible to calculate the profit from a small enterprise that produces about 200 bags in 8 hours, and from a powerful production line that can produce at least 6,000 bags and bags per day. In the first case, the income of the enterprise will be at least 40,000 rubles. per month, in the second - from 1,200,000 rubles. per month (excluding weekends).

But in the second case, transport costs should also be taken into account, which can reduce the rate of return. But a little trick used by entrepreneurs balances such costs: the delivery of goods is included in the cost of production. That is, a buyer who exports the goods on his own can count on a discount equal to this amount.

Customers and regular customers are best found before the start of production, or at the initial stage of work. Available sales outlets for finished products ( bread stalls, souvenir shops and other small trade enterprises) in themselves will be a good advertisement with the proper quality of the products supplied.

• Production of paper bags
• Kraft bag production

Making paper bags is a good alternative to making bags made of polyethylene and plastic, and here's why. Increasingly, our attention is drawn to environmental issues. Polyethylene and plastic bags, as well as other packaging made from these materials: mass, popular and easy to use, cause serious harm to the environment. According to ecologists, the decay time of polyethylene in wildlife is 100-200 years, and the bulk household waste from polyethylene ends up in ordinary garbage. One way to solve the problem is to use, where possible, eco-friendly paper packaging, which is made from renewable raw materials and is easily recycled.

Paper Bag Making - Distribution Channels

Paper can be successfully used for environmentally friendly packaging. In addition, certain materials are in principle prohibited from being stored inpolyethylenepackages. These include:

• dry building mixes - people involved in construction or repair know that cement, dry plaster, putty, self-leveling floors, etc. are sold in bags made of paper;
• charcoal is packed in paper bags;
• flour - sold only in paper bags.

Where else can paper packaging be found:

It turns out that there is a steady demand in the paper bag market and a tendency to increase it, since such packaging is environmentally friendly, and its scope is constantly expanding.

There is competition in this area. But if the products are of high quality, inexpensive, if you manage to offer original ideas, then you can find your niche in this area of ​​\u200b\u200bproduction.

Step by step plan to start a business

• Market analysis.

Market analysis will identify the target audience - those enterprises and firms that will be interested in purchasing paper bags. This will be the first step in building a base of potential customers. In addition, you will decide on the range of products and possible production volumes.

• Room selection.

Primary requirements:

• area - 120-200 sq. m to accommodate: an office, as well as a warehouse and workshop;
• availability of all communications (hot and cold water, electricity with a voltage of 380 V, sewerage, heating);
• Fire safety, since all work is carried out with flammable material;
• location is not important, only convenient access ways are needed. The location of the enterprise in the suburbs or in the industrial zone will reduce the cost of rent.

• Purchase of equipment.

The price of equipment directly depends on the power. The cost is also affected by the installation size, line type, build quality, functionality. The more powerful, the more expensive. An automatic machine is more expensive than a semi-automatic line, and its purchase will cost from 3 million rubles. A device for the production of multilayer bags is more expensive than equipment that makes ordinary bags. But it is better when these functions are combined - accordingly, the price will be even higher. Remember that the number of customers and ultimately your profit depends on the quality of the products. More information about the necessary equipment and its cost will be discussed below.

• Personnel selection.

The production team consists of a foreman-technologist and workers servicing the machines. highly qualifiedpersonnelnot required, but experience preferred. 4-5 people are enough to work on a mini-line, 8-10 people are enough for a large production. The final number of employees depends on the mode of operation of the enterprise - in shifts or not. Shift work generally improves efficiency and reduces equipment downtime.

The company will need the services of an accountant, sales manager, driver, cleaner.

• Selection of raw material suppliers.

Paper is suitable for the production of bags various kinds, structures and densities: coated or craft, cardboard, imitlin, linen, tracing paper, polylite, iwobel, plyk, moisture-resistant paper and luxpack, etc. Glue and nylon threads are used in production.

• Business registration.

Since your main clients are companies, it is better to register a businessin the form of LLCwith a simplified systemtaxation.

You will also need permits from the fire inspection and the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service, all documentation for equipment and quality certificates for finished products.

How to make paper bags

The technology for the production of paper bags consists of six stages:

1. Production of blanks.

First, a paper tube is formed, which is cut into separate semi-finished products - the top and bottom of them are open.

2. Drawing on blanks of printed information.

Printing requires appropriate hardware. Types of printing used: offset, flexography, silk screen printing, embossing.

3. Firmware

Stitched bags are stronger than glued ones and are more expensive. But the equipment for flashing is more expensive than for gluing.

4. Valve manufacturing.

This procedure is performed only when making closed bags.

5. Fixing the bottom.

The bottom is once again glued or stitched.

6. Packaging of finished products and preparing them for shipment.

Production of paper bags

Paper bags are durable high volume products. They pack cement and other building mixtures, charcoal, seeds, medicines, feed and additives, food, etc. Construction mixtures often packaged in 50 kg packages - the packaging must be very strong in order to withstand more than one transportation. The main material for production is thick recycled paper.

Bags are divided into open and closed (valve). They are of the following types:

Kraft bag production

Kraft bags are products made from Kraft paper, which is made according to special technology using sulfate pulping of coniferous wood. Possesses the increased power indicators. In addition, kraft paper is a breathable material, which allows products stored in such packaging to perform air exchange with environment with changes in temperature and humidity. Such bags are often used for bulk food products (flour, sugar, salt). The image on kraft bags is usually applied by flexo printing, and sometimes by offset printing.

Production of paper bags with logo

The production of paper bags with a logo and / or other information is a good option advertising. You can advertise both your own products (saving money on other ways to promote the product), and the products of other companies, thereby earning extra money on advertising. Packages with company logos are usually produced in limited editions. Printing information on paper bags requires appropriate equipment.

Necessary equipment for the production of paper bags

Required for productionspecial equipment. Its composition, type, power depend on the types of products, quantity, size of available Money. Equipment is the most significant expense in this type of business.

The minimum set of equipment includes:

• machine for gluing the workpiece;
• a machine that forms and glues the bottom;
• equipment for sewing seams and edges.

Such a set will cost about a million rubles. The average productivity is 250 units per hour.

In the case of expansion of production, the mini-line can be subsequently supplemented with new equipment: for example, machines for punching and printing, devices for pressing bags and loading paper, as well as bottom sewing finished products, aggregates for the preparation of the adhesive base, a mechanism for turning paper.

An automatic line with all the necessary devices, producing 3,500 ready-made bags per shift, will cost 3-5 million rubles.

Equipment and materials for production different types packages differ both in functionality and cost.

When buying equipment, the following characteristics matter:

• length of the cutting part;
• bottom size;
• product width;
• paper density;
• roll dimensions;
• performance;
• power.

The more powerful and functional the equipment, the more types of products it can produce, and the higher the quality of the packages produced.

How much can you earn from this

Costs at the start of a business project:

Monthly expenses:

When the mini-workshop operates in two shifts, about 100 thousand products can be obtained per month. Sales proceeds - about 900 thousand rubles. Monthly profit - 150 thousand rubles.

The automatic line, when working in two shifts, can produce about 200 thousand units of products per month. Sales proceeds - about 1.8 million rubles. Monthly profit - 900 thousand rubles.

The payback of the business is about one year.

Production of paper bags - profitable business, despite the large starting investments. This type of packaging is increasingly used in the construction, food, agricultural, chemical and other industries. Paper bags can be actively used for advertising and thus generate additional income. The main thing is to find start-up capital, competently organize the production process and find buyers for your products.
