How to open a plastic bag production

The production of plastic bags can be organized in the garage or in your basement. We will talk about this business today.

How many times a week do you visit the shops? Have you ever paid attention to how many different packages, sachets and large plastic bags you get per day? During the week? Per month? Try and count. I think you will be surprised. But, by the way, the cost of all these bags, packages, packages is most often initially included in the price of the product itself. And how many of these bags are sold every day throughout the country? Think about these numbers and you will understand that the production of plastic bags is a real "gold mine".

The main types of plastic bags currently in demand on the market are:

Package - "T-shirt".
Package with internal handles.
Packages for packing.
Polyethylene packaging.

The production of plastic bags can be arranged from purchased film, but if you approach the matter “on a large scale”, of course it is better to have products made from your own raw materials. In the first case (the production of plastic bags from purchased film), it will be enough to purchase a soldering and cutting machine.
Accordingly, the income will be small. But for this production, it will be enough, say, a simple garage. To establish a whole workshop with a full cycle of equipment processing, much more will be required:

A special machine is an extruder that forms plastic materials by pressure.
Soldering and cutting machine for cutting the film to the desired dimensions and soldering in the right places.
A die cutter used to form handles.
A room with high (up to ten meters) ceilings and an area of up to one hundred square meters, equipped with powerful ventilation and mandatory fire alarms and located on the outskirts of a settlement or in an industrial sector. The reason for this condition is the unpleasant smell of melted plastic.

The raw materials for the manufacture of plastic bags are polymeric materials:

polyethylene (waste);
polypropylene;
polystyrene in the form of granules.

They are made in a special device - a granulator at factories. Therefore, it will be necessary to conclude a contract for the uninterrupted supply of polymer granules. The cheapest raw materials are Korean or produced in the expanses of the former USSR. The best option is to conclude a contract for the supply of raw materials directly with the manufacturing plant.

Sales of products

Plans for the sale of products need to be thought out in advance. Basically, these are wholesale enterprises. Recently, the printing of advertising on plastic bags has become widespread. This gives a significant increase in income. Of course, printing advertising will require the installation of additional equipment. An option for the production of plastic bags can be the production of eco-bags.
Rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. Additional raw materials for the production of such bags are various oxo additives, the equipment remains the same.
