They are made from environmentally friendly raw materials, so HDPE bags are used for packaging and freezing products, without losing physical properties this product. Features: matte, rough, rustling.
  • LDPE bags (High Density Polyethylene bags) - this bag is more dense, elastic and smooth. Such bags are often used at exhibitions, festivals, conferences, etc. PVD packages have a more presentable appearance than HDPE packages.

We will tell you why the business idea for the production of plastic bags will not burn out, how much money is needed to launch the project, and how justified it is to invest in such a production.

Most entrepreneurs prefer to start in already developed industries, building a business in the image and likeness of successful counterparts. The production of plastic bags is one of such areas.

Do you want to know what investments a new business will require, why it is attractive and unique, and what profit it will give? Read our article carefully.

How much demand is there for the production of plastic bags

The production of packaging materials attracts entrepreneurs with constant demand. Polyethylene has become the most popular packaging method in recent decades, and this trend is not decreasing.

Plastic bags are used in trade, public catering, manufacturing, construction, and private households. PET is used to produce garbage bags, bread bags, clothes bags, freezer bags, sandwich bags, cling film, etc. And bright plastic bags with logos are an excellent advertising medium, inexpensive and effective.

We often hear about the need to replace plastic with paper, etc. There is a trend towards this, but the market situation in Russia dictates its own laws. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the opening of the next production of PET products: the population and entrepreneurs choose budget goods.

Why is this business idea not going to work?

So, the first factor in the attractiveness of film packaging is the constant demand of consumers.

The second factor is a wide range. A full-cycle PET plant will satisfy the needs of cities and villages, trade, construction, manufacturing companies, and respond to seasonal changes in demand.

For example, during the summer season, covering material (films for greenhouses) is in demand, and when harvesting, dense bags are needed for storing and transporting vegetables, etc.

What else does the PET mini-factory attract entrepreneurs, and where are the risks?

Consider the pros and cons of the project:

Strengths Weak sides
Permanent sales (contracts with trading networks, production and construction companies etc.) guarantees stable income Large wholesalers take goods with a deferred payment. This negatively affects the payment turnover, there is a risk of overdue receivables
A simple manufacturing process that does not require special knowledge and high technology Oversized equipment will require a special room. Difficulty finding suitable space
cheap work force Risk of high staff turnover
Relatively low barriers to entry (starting capital $5,000 for part-time shop) The work of the workshop in a mini-format gives a small profit, the risk of loss (in case of a decline in demand or commercial miscalculations)
A full-cycle workshop is more profitable, will allow you to quickly recoup your costs A full-cycle workshop will require large investments (equipment from $40,000)

Strategy: mini-workshop or full cycle?

Is it possible to build a profitable enterprise with minimal start-up capital?

To answer this question, we will conduct a brief comparative analysis:

Comparison criteria mini workshop Full cycle workshop
Equipment cost (rub.) from 250 000 from 3 000 000
Equipment dimensions (mm) from 3000x1800x1800 from 8000x4500x5000
Basic raw material Finished PET film PET granules
finished product PET package (1-2 types) PET film, assorted bags
Performance (packages) from 5,000 pieces/hour from 5,000 pieces/hour
Cost price (packages) from 0.25 rub. from 0.13 rub.

The table shows the average parameters. It will take 10 times more money and effort to set up a full-cycle workshop than to launch a mini-line. But these costs will pay off faster: the cost of production is twice as high, the range is wider.

The first option (for example, a mini-workshop for the production of garbage bags) will become a profitable business if three conditions are met:

  1. A profitable contract for the sale of products was concluded.
  2. A contract was signed for high-quality raw materials at a low price.
  3. Shipping and handling costs are minimal.

At the same time, the second option, based on the complete processing of raw materials into film, and then into bags, may bring not the expected income, but losses. The reason will be the refusal of the wholesaler to cooperate, the increase in prices for raw materials or other commercial risk.

Having invested a large amount in development, you need to be prepared for both high profits and big losses. The result of any undertaking depends on the specific business conditions, agreements with partners, the market situation and the managerial competence of the owner.

How to start making plastic bags - step by step instructions for a businessman

Before making any investment, do market research and write a business plan. These actions are necessary, regardless of the chosen production format.

Of course, you can spend money by ordering market research from specialists. But if your plans do not include the establishment of an international holding for the production of T-shirt packages, and your interests are limited to the sale of packaging for the needs of the nearest farms Villa Kukuevo and outlets on the Rublevo-Figasevo highway, do your marketing.

Let's take a look at the parameters that you should definitely study.

Consumers. Think about who will become your buyer, what products and on what scale will be purchased. Take into account seasonal demand (if you plan to cooperate with construction companies and agriculture). Evaluate the distance of buyers from your warehouse (price and delivery time matter!).

Advice: take advantage of personal connections and conduct research in the business environment, find out about the needs of different companies in film or bags, volumes, prices, competitors, etc.

Competitors. Analyze who supplies products to your region, whether there are local manufacturers. Evaluate the quality of their goods, cost, terms of delivery.

Raw material suppliers. Determine the conditions under which you will receive raw materials for your workshop. Estimate the cost, delivery time, payment procedure, manufacturer's guarantees, batch volumes and everything that you consider important for your particular business.

Advice: compare several offers and identify two or three suppliers with the most favorable conditions for you.

Business infrastructure. At this stage, determine where your business will be located and who will be served. Economical options are good as long as other processes don't suffer.

For example, choosing a cheap rental of premises 120 km from consumers and railway stations, you risk ruining your business. Transportation costs for the transportation of containers with PET pellets and delivery finished products for the Rublevo-Figasevo highway will become the main cost item, there will be no money for other expenses.

The number of staff depends on the business model, its volume and strategy. Assess the labor market in your region, the level of average wages, predict the fund wages of your enterprise.

Explore labor law, think about how you will formalize relations with employees, how much taxes to pay.

Following this simple path, you need to draw up a business plan.

Step 1. We draw up a business plan

If you intend to apply to a bank for a loan for equipment, a business plan will be required. Those who rely on equity should also not neglect planning. Make a simple forecast given the data marketing research and features technological process.

  1. Sales prospects. Focusing on the planned capacity of the equipment, evaluate the real prospects for sales. For example, with a line capacity of 5,000 plastic bags per hour, you can produce 880,000 units per month. How many of them will you sell in the first month of operation and beyond?
  2. Prices and terms of settlements with clients. Large wholesalers will want individual conditions: low prices, deferred payment. Reflect this in your forecasts.
  3. Terms of supply of raw materials. Get ready to buy raw materials in advance. You can change the conditions and get discounts and deferrals by becoming regular customer major supplier. In the business plan, take into account the cost of stocking raw materials, shipping and storage.
  4. Business processes and production maintenance costs. Determine how all departments of your enterprise will work and how much it will cost to maintain it.

As a result of all calculations, you will get a forecast of income and production costs for the near future.

For beginners, an easy way: free download ready business plan and refine it taking into account your parameters, having received a realistic forecast.

An example of a business plan with calculations of income and expenses for two years.

Step 2. Registering a business

At this stage, you need to determine the form of ownership: LLC or IP. Last option preferred by most entrepreneurs working in the field of small and medium-sized businesses. This is explained by a simple registration process and reporting: the entrepreneur submits an annual income declaration.

Important! When registering, you need to select codes activities of OKVED. Suitable 25.22 and 51.47 (manufacture of plastic products for packaging; wholesale of non-food products).

It will take from one to three weeks to register your business, depending on the chosen form.

Step 3. Choose a room

When searching for a room, use the following options:

  1. Ceiling area and height. For a mini-line, a room with a standard ceiling height, with an area of ​​​​10 m2 or more, is enough. A full cycle will require special conditions: the room must be with high ceilings, have a certain temperature regime for the operation of automation and the extruder (the PET granules are melted in it).
  2. The area of ​​the premises should be sufficient for the storage of raw materials and finished products, staff accommodation (locker room, office, pantry, etc.)
  3. Ventilation and communications. PET production is an unsafe process for health, so the room must have a good ventilation system. Check the quality of other communications: electrical wiring, water supply and sewerage systems, heating.
  4. Driveways. It is important to have a ramp or area for loading and unloading.
  5. infrastructure and location. Ideally, your enterprise should be located in close proximity to consumers and suppliers of raw materials. But miracles do not happen, so look for a compromise, evaluating proposals not only in size rent but also for ease of doing business.

Step 4. We select personnel

The number of employees depends on the scope and specifics of the work. To service one line when working in one shift, two workers and a foreman with the functions of a service technician are enough. In addition to the main staff, a sales manager, a forwarding driver, a storekeeper may be required. Perhaps all these functions will be performed by the entrepreneur himself.

At this stage, it is necessary to fix relations with employees by concluding contracts, determining working conditions.

Step 5 We buy raw materials and equipment

When choosing equipment, get advice from sellers - dealers of large line manufacturers. Determine the required composition of your line (extruder, punching machine, bag line, flexo printing, etc.). It is not necessary to immediately purchase a complete set: drawings for packages can be ordered from the side, saving on the purchase of expensive flexo printing.

Plan the timing at this stage, taking into account the delivery, assembly and commissioning of equipment.

When buying raw materials, do not forget to get certificates for compliance with GOSTs:

  • polyethylene film high pressure, for food products GOST 16337-77 (PVD);
  • low pressure film, for bulk dry products GOST 16338-85 (HDPE).

Do not forget about furniture and production equipment - tables and chairs, cabinets for documents and clothes, a safe, office equipment.

Step 6. Launch the business and start selling

After the registration of the enterprise, the technical launch of the equipment and the training of personnel, proceed to production. By the opening, you should already have contracts for the supply of finished products.

What you need to get your business right

In addition to registering an enterprise (LLC or individual entrepreneur), you need to obtain permission from the local administration. The opening of a PET shop will require permits from the SES, fire protection, energy supervision, and environmentalists.

You will be able to receive a certificate of conformity of finished products to the GOST standard after the start by providing samples for examination.

How much money will it take to start a business

Answering the question of how much money you need to start, here are some simple calculations:

Registration costs 20 000,00
Purchase of equipment 4 000 000,00
Buying a stock of raw materials 200 000,00
Total 4 220 000,00
Monthly expenses:
Premises for rent 50 000,00
Communal expenses 20 000,00
payroll for personnel 100 000,00
Telecom, office, etc. 10 000,00
Total 180 000,00

This is an incomplete list of all costs, there are no taxes, marketing costs, transportation, etc.

The amount of start-up capital is determined taking into account specific circumstances. For example, the landlord will want to prepay for the premises for six months, and the supplier of raw materials will ship a year's supply of pellets.

How profitable is this business?

The production of PET products is considered highly profitable business. But how do mathematical calculations correspond to reality?

Using the data from the previous example, we calculate the payback of the workshop, subject to the release of one product - packaging bags:

Line productivity per month (5000 units/hour) 880 000,00
Wed selling price per unit (RUB) 0,65
Unit cost (RUB) 0,13
Revenue 572 000,00
Cost price 114 400,00
Expenses 180 000,00
Gross profit 277 600,00
Taxes (15%) 41 640,00
Net profit 235 960,00
Attachments 4 220 000,00
Payback (month) 17,88

Calculations show that investments will pay off in 18 months. In a real situation, the profit will depend on many nuances. For example, assortment and selling price, raw material and rental prices, etc. It is impossible to foresee all the moments, but it is necessary to plan for force majeure.

Therefore, when drawing up your business plan, take into account the possible downtime in case of equipment breakdown, dumping prices of competitors, increasing utility costs, etc. That is, plan your income to the minimum, and expenses to the maximum - this approach will give a realistic picture.

Plastic bags are the most common packaging material in Russia and the world. Our country is in 3rd place in terms of consumption of this product. Packages are used in various areas of production and service. Demand for them is steadily growing every year, and manufacturers operating on the market cannot cover it. The niche is open to new entrants, so bag making is a very interesting business idea.

In the article, we will tell you how to open a small plant for the production of plastic bags, describe the features of the business, and give economic calculations.

Market trends

Plastic bags in Russia began to be produced and introduced to the market from the mid-1980s, although they received mass distribution in the 90s.

According to data for 2016, the market for flexible plastic packaging in the world exceeded 60 million tons. This is somewhere between 1.5-2 trillion bags. Dynamics in Russia for last years next:

  • 2013 - 26.7 billion units;
  • 2014 - 24.7 billion units;
  • 2015 - 24.3 billion units;
  • 2016 - 22.6 billion units

The volumes of production and consumption in the market are recovering after falling in 2014-2015, the share of importers is declining. If a few years ago more than half of all PE bags were imported, in 2016 only 5 billion pieces were imported.

In Russia, there are several large manufacturers and many small ones.

Analysis of product demand and sales market

Plastic bags are used for carrying, storing various things and products. This product is used in all areas of management. At home, in wholesale and retail trade, on industrial enterprises, in the construction industry.

Demand for PE bags increases in proportion to the growth of production in the country. The more goods, the higher the demand for packaging material. There are a lot of varieties: "T-shirts", gift, advertising, single and multilayer, for garbage.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the field of marketing. All large companies order branded packages with logos and drawings printed on them - this is an important element of advertising promotion.

What are the pros and cons of plastic bag manufacturing as a business?

Before launching a business project, it is necessary to perform a SWOT analysis, assess the strengths and weak sides affairs.

The advantages that the production of plastic bags has:

  • high demand, the possibility of constant sales through the conclusion of long-term contracts;
  • simple production technology using special equipment. (the process is automated);
  • employees do not need to train for a long time - it is enough to pass general training management, maintenance of equipment;
  • raw materials are inexpensive, there is the possibility of recycling.

The cons are the following:

  • high costs for workshop equipment to ensure a full cycle;
  • you need a large room to accommodate all the equipment in it;
  • V wholesale sales the goods are most often sold on deferred payments - this creates the risk of indebtedness and a decrease in working capital.

What does it take to open a small factory

The main expense item for the initial investment is the purchase of a production line. The main article on monthly expenses is the purchase of raw materials.

Table 1. The amount of initial costs for starting a business for the production of plastic bags.

The calculations are relevant for a city with a population of up to 1 million people. Additional expenses include utility bills, advertising, cosmetic repairs.

Legal registration

We expect to open large-scale production - we will sell goods to large enterprises and wholesalers. Therefore, when registering, it is recommended to choose the LLC form.

OKVED codes for production:

  • 25.2 "Production of plastic products";
  • 25.22 "Production of plastic products for packaging";
  • 51.47 " Wholesale other non-food consumer goods.

The taxation system is simplified.

All requirements for the manufactured product are specified in GOST 10354-82. To start production, you must pass an inspection and obtain a certificate of conformity from Rospotrebnadzor. The certificate must be validated every quarter (this is important as consumers request conformity documents).

Permits are also needed from the city administration, the fire service, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.

Technology

An entrepreneur can establish a full or incomplete production cycle. A full cycle means the implementation of the entire complex of works. With an incomplete cycle, you will have to purchase finished film at an inflated price - this affects the cost of finished products.

The production process consists of several stages.

  1. Polyethylene granulate is poured into the extruder. Here the raw material is melted to a homogeneous state.
  2. By squeezing the alloy, a film sleeve is formed.
  3. The sleeve is cooled and rolled out with rollers.
  4. With the help of equipment (automatic knives), the sleeve is divided into segments of the desired length. Drawings are applied to these segments (if necessary).
  5. The film falls under the press, where the bottom fold of the package is created, the handles are cut out, and the shape of the blank is determined.
  6. The edges are soldered - the goods are ready.

room

The production facility should be located in the industrial area of ​​the city, far from residential areas. It is best to rent it on the outskirts of the city - here you can find a cheap option.

The height of the ceilings in the workshop where the production line will be located is at least 8 m, the electricity is three-phase. All communication systems must be equipped, good ventilation must be present (to remove harmful fumes). It is recommended to make cosmetic repairs.

An access road should lead to the premises.

Suitable area - 300 sq. m for the working workshop, storage facilities for raw materials and finished products, administrative premises, locker rooms, bathrooms.

When arranging the premises, consider the requirements of GOST 12.2.032-78, 12.2.033-78, 12.2.061-81, 12.3.002-74.

Equipment

The line for the production of plastic bags is automated, most of the work is done by itself. The staff only controls the equipment, monitors its work. The equipment described in the section provides a complete production cycle.

Table 2. Equipment required for the production of plastic bags.

raw material

There are 2 main types of raw materials for the production of PE bags:

  • high-pressure polyethylene (LDPE), granular, for food products (requirements according to GOST 16337-77);
  • low-pressure polyethylene (HDPE) granular, for non-food products (requirements according to GOST 16338-85).

To apply color images, you will need:

  • concentrate for dyeing polyethylene;
  • paints for drawing;
  • solid polymer MSX-145 for creating photopolymer clichés and forms.

It is also possible to create a non-food film using secondary granulate, which is much cheaper. The quality of the finished product based on it is worse.

Plastic raw materials of both Russian and foreign manufacturers are sold on the Russian market.

Staff

Equipment for the production of PE bags does most of the work itself - workers in production perform only a service function. This allows you to reduce staff and monthly costs. However, the salary must be high in order to motivate people to work well and “hold on” to the job.

The staff should include:

  • workers in the workshop, 2 people;
  • loaders, laborers, 2 people;
  • technologist, 1 person;
  • sales manager, 1 person;
  • driver, 1 person;
  • accountant, 1 person;
  • mini plant manager, 1 person

You can combine the positions of a technologist and a foreman - the person holding this position will monitor how other workers work. We recommend hiring a driver with your own car, an accountant - outsourcing. The businessman himself can take over the functions of the head of a mini-factory.

Marketing plan and sales

Start looking for buyers and orders even before production starts. Make preliminary agreements or full-fledged contracts with potential buyers.

Carefully study the market, the current offer and prices, find those who need plastic bags for work. A sales manager will work with clients - to negotiate and conclude contracts. Design and print POS materials (including business cards).

Make an official website, describe the advantages of your company in it, place Commercial offer. Organize a mailing list.

Be sure to place ads on the Internet, thematic media, promote your products at industrial exhibitions.

Calculations of payback and profitability: business plan

The amount of initial costs amounted to 5.24 million rubles.

The shop will work 22 days a month for 8 hours (standard working day). Line capacity per hour - up to 65 kg, per day - up to 520 kg, per month - up to 11,440 kg. There are about 200 bags in 1 kg (for example, 1 T-shirt bag 46 × 55 mm). That is, up to 2.288 million packages of this type can be made per month.

Expenses per month - 1.72 million rubles. (cost of 1 package - 75.2 kop.).

The price of 1 package is approximately 1.3 rubles. If you sell all the products produced in a month, you can earn almost 3 million rubles. Net profit minus expenses - 1.28 million rubles.

In this case, the payback period will be only 4 months. But at the initial stage it is hardly possible to sell everything that is produced in a month. If you build an active marketing activity, work in different regions and actively promote yourself, you can pay off in about 1 year.

Tables 3. Economic justification business ideas.

PE bags are harmful to the environment. The plastic from which they are made decays within 300 years. There is still no full-fledged system for the collection, utilization and processing of polyethylene - neither in Russia, nor in other countries. Most of the used bags end up in landfills, are dumped into the ocean, and cause significant harm to the planet's biosphere. Because of this, many countries (mostly the US, Western Europe, Japan) are gradually abandoning this product, looking for a replacement (for example, paper bags).

In Russia, the volumes of production and consumption of plastic bags are growing. According to experts, this situation will continue in the medium term.

Another point: in 2017, one of the special representatives of the President of the Russian Federation proposed introducing an environmental fee for the use of plastic bags. Now the idea is only being developed, but in a few years the fee may be introduced - this will create an additional burden on manufacturers. Take this into account when compiling detailed business project.

Despite the negative attitude of environmentalists towards polyethylene, the idea of ​​​​production is beneficial. According to the business plan, the production of plastic bags will go to zero in a year of active work. The business requires considerable costs, but the financial return is very decent.
