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

Every year, humanity pays more and more attention to environmental protection. Growing popularity of environmentally friendly, non-harmful environment and products made from renewable resources (or with their help): hybrid cars and electric vehicles, 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 number of food products (flour and sugar), charcoal for barbecues (here the paper bag carries a double load: 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 that can be both sold (that is, applied promotional materials third-party organizations on their products) and use it for their own marketing purposes (print their own advertising). In the first case, this provides a considerable additional income, quite comparable to the income from the main activity. In the second, it allows you to do without the cost of promoting your products.

Sales organization, target audience definition

Before you start directly implementing a business idea for the manufacture of paper bags and bags, you should determine the need for these products in the local region and study the target audience. To do this, you need to understand what paper packaging is used for and where it is used. This is:

food storage;
food packaging (fast food, fast food outlets);
packaging and transportation of dry building mixes or charcoal;
design and decoration of flower arrangements;
packaging of gifts and souvenirs;
safety of production details;
packaging of compost and household products;
advertising material.

Based on the use of paper packaging, it is possible to determine who will be the main consumer of the product. Experts identify the following areas of consumption where paper packaging can be in demand.

Main consumers of paper packaging

Consumers	Purpose	Demand level
Supermarkets	As a replacement for plastic shopping bags or disposable food containers in stores that adhere to so-called "green standards".	Demand is low, free disposable plastic bags are still in demand
	For baking packaging	Demand is slightly below average, but the dynamics is positive
Restaurants and fast food establishments	For takeaway packaging	Demand is low but stable
Gift shops, clothes	In the form of a gift box	Demand is high, especially during the holidays
Shops and factories for the production of bulk products	As a container for bulk products that are afraid of condensate, including building mixtures.	Demand is high, but competition is high
	With a logo, when conducting marketing or advertising campaigns	Demand slightly above average, dynamics positive

In addition to the above sales areas, there are many more industries and enterprises that use paper types of containers. Therefore, it will not be difficult for the manufacturer to find potential customers for the sale of his product.

To open a mini-production of paper containers, you should focus on the mass consumer. By signing a contract for the supply of their products with a supermarket, bakery or other large enterprise where paper packaging is used, it is possible to ensure the production of a certain number of orders and establish a stable sales. 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. You can choose the best option for your production by contacting 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 their strength (stitched somewhat stronger than glued ones), 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, since different binding methods require different equipment. For glued bags, final gluing is applied using 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 high-capacity lines are 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 workpieces, equipment for forming and gluing bags, piercing machines. With the development of business, production can be gradually expanded by purchasing additional 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
	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 it is advisable to purchase a hydraulic press for boiling and an installation for stirring glue only for large-scale production. If you plan to organize a small workshop, then you can do without this equipment. Another important point: only low-power lines can be equipped with additional equipment; 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 receiver finished products. The 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 water supply, sewerage and 380 V electricity. Increased attention is also required to fire safety, because 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. The average rental price is 100-150 sq.m. for Moscow and St. Petersburg will be approximately 60 thousand rubles, in Russia - 34 thousand rubles.

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 installed equipment. For example, UBT-3000 is served by 2 people, a printing device of any type is served by 1 person, a technologist (foreman) sits at the control panel, etc.

In general, any block 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. This example assumes 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 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 packaging is focused on corporate clients, it is recommended to register an LLC. According to the OKVED-2 classification, the following should be indicated as the main activity: 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 wage employees, utility bills, rent and taxes.

Profitability of production, income

With a competent business organization, the production of paper packaging can bring its owner a high income. The monthly revenue of a small enterprise can reach 1 million rubles. But automated production can bring many times 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

The 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 open a paper packaging business, the possible risks of the project should be assessed. 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 conduct bulk purchase of consumables.

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 customers, it is recommended to develop a 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.

Polyethylene vs. paper

When thinking about your paper bag business, an entrepreneur simply has to promote his product and be proud of his work.

“Polyethylene products, popular among housewives, do not decompose for several hundred years,” says businessman Andrey Govorkin. - Another thing is paper: there is no trace of it in landfills literally in a matter of months. Yes, plastic advocates rightly argue that pulp production is more harmful than polymer production. However, the overall environmental benefit of using paper bags is higher, despite the strong “pro-polyethylene” PR campaign in some countries, such as Russia.”

In other words, the future manufacturer of paper bags will have to compete both with sellers of plastic disposable household containers and with "colleagues in the shop", although it will be crowded in its own market.

Market Overview

Speaking about consumer demand for paper bags and packages, experts mention the following areas of consumption where finished products can be in demand:

Consumers	Purpose	Demand level
Supermarkets	As disposable food containers in stores that adhere to the so-called "green standards".	Demand is low, free disposable plastic bags are still in demand
bakeries	For baking packaging	Demand is slightly below average, but the dynamics is positive.
Restaurants and fast food establishments	For takeaway packaging	Demand is low but stable
Gift shops, luxury alcohol and branded clothing	In the form of a gift box	Demand is high, especially during the holidays
Shops and factories for the production of bulk products	As a container for bulk products that are afraid of condensate, including building mixtures	Demand is high, but competition is high

There is a total dominance of plastic bags. Paper is inferior to polyethylene, and significantly.

“Let's face it,” says packaging expert Mark Ekstrin. - In Russia, especially in the provinces, there are few "green" supermarkets. Even if there are “green cash registers” in stores, they are not in demand. In seven out of ten bakeries, bakery products are packaged in film. Fast food is preferred to be eaten on the spot, with the possible exception of pizzas. Elite alcohol and branded clothing do not make the weather. In fact, the packing of loose and bulk products remains, but everything is divided there.

Indeed, various studies and surveys of entrepreneurs who have opened a paper bag business show that the market is in equilibrium. As for the capacity of demand for paper bags, according to various estimates, it is in the range of 700 million - 1.5 billion rubles, and there is a double excess of production capacity. However, a breakthrough is possible in this area.

“With landfills, it’s a disaster, and everywhere,” Ekstrin adds to the picture. - The situation is such that the authorities will have to fight plastic containers. Not the first year there have been talks on this topic, but it is no longer possible to endure. So those who are already writing a business plan for the production of paper bags are doing the right thing.

What can be the production of paper bags

Serious businessmen must thoroughly understand the technological processes of their production. No matter how good the idea, production requires special and in-depth knowledge.

“Production can be both manual and automatic,” says technologist Natasha Babkova. - For small volumes and with a small start-up capital, you can assemble packages manually, especially since it is not difficult, although laborious. With the help of cutters and manual bending devices, it will be possible to produce up to 3 thousand gift bags per month. Often this is enough to get into the business.”

Manual assembly

Manual assembly can be done at home, practically from scratch. The technology for the production of paper bags with their own hands is described in detail. On the forums you can find descriptions of devices assembled literally “on the knee”, and from what is available in any garage: wheels for creasing, cutters, the simplest device for flashing, bending mechanisms for double folding, hole punches. You will also need an application gun and double paper tape.

In-line manual assembly consists of 9 fairly simple operations:

production of blanks on a stencil and scoring of the package (you can purchase ready-made semi-finished products, however, with a loss of profitability);
sticker on the future inside of the handle seal package:
longitudinal gluing with an application gun and obtaining a “half-sleeve” with overlapping edges;
"Half-sleeve" is glued into a sleeve;
the formation of the sidewalls of the package on the device with two folds;
top shaping;
formation of the bottom and bottom seal using double-sided adhesive tape with an applicator;
flashing holes for handles (or installing eyelets);
cutting rope handles.

If stitched bags are made, one more time-consuming operation will be required. The cost of assembling one gift paper bag 300 × 400 mm with rope handles reaches 25 rubles, while stores take them for sale at 40 rubles per unit. However, you should not count on a quick implementation.

Automatic Assembly

If there is confidence in the demand for industrial scale(for example, for packing cement into bags at a building materials plant) and with a multimillion-dollar start-up capital, it is reasonable to purchase an automatic line. This paper bag business can safely be called average, since the equipment alone with a capacity of up to 60 open and 30 closed bags per minute weighs almost 3.5 tons and has dimensions of 18 m × 1.7 m.

Such a line costs more than 5 million rubles and, in addition to the control panel, includes the following components:

block for loading paper rolls or feeding blanks;
mechanism for preliminary creasing and technological cuts;
workpiece vacuum opening unit;
main creasing device;
glue application unit;
valve forming and gluing machine;
valve insertion mechanism;
bottom forming table with guides;
cover sheet application mechanism;
conveyor for unloading finished products;
pressing conveyor for easy transportation;
storage of finished bags.

At the pre-creasing stage, as a rule, offset printing of logos, labels, advertising, and so on is performed. In addition, the necessary information on future bags can be printed using flexography and silkscreen printing.

There is another option - semi-automatic assembly from semi-finished paper. True, businessmen are not very satisfied with such production: the need for manual labor crosses out all the benefits of automatic gluing.

How much money do you need to start a business

For manual assembly of paper bags, approximately 50 thousand rubles will be required for equipment, racks for semi-finished products / finished products and long tables. For the first batch with a circulation of 3,000 bags, up to 100,000 rubles will be spent on materials - on paper, glue, threads, ropes, adhesive tape. In this case, the business plan for the production of bags is extremely simple:

registration as an individual entrepreneur,
purchase of blanks in an online store (search engine to help),
assembling packages at home (YouTube to help),
sale to stores.

“And then 100 thousand rubles will become working capital in this business,” explains Natasha Babkova. - You won't have to count on more than 30 thousand rubles of income per month. However, even if money is taken on credit for the development of small businesses, the return on investment can be achieved in six months. In principle, you can start with a batch of 100-200 bags. How much money you need to open will depend on the chosen circulation.

For automatic release on an industrial scale, you need a whole manufacturing facility 100 or more sq. m for the installation of equipment for the production of paper bags, and high energy consumption is guaranteed. True, the absence of manual labor significantly increases the profitability of production, even with a low price tag for finished products.

“Count on investments of eight million or more,” says Andrey Govorkin. - From my own experience I know that in this business there is a high proportion of unforeseen expenses. In particular, it may be necessary to install a small gantry crane to move paper rolls. Do not buy a forklift to operate it for 10 minutes a day.

That is why most often the balanced costs of starting a business predetermine the bet on semi-automatic lines. The main stages are automated here: gluing (or firmware) and bottom bonding. Everything else, as a rule, is carried out by workers, while the first stage - the supply of blanks - is the most time-consuming.

Equipment and raw materials

When purchasing a separate machine for the production of paper bags worth up to one million rubles, you need to be aware that additional equipment will be required - for example, a machine for making multilayer blanks (sleeves), equipment for gluing the bottom, a machine for stitching and gluing blanks. It is also wise to purchase an offset machine for printing on paper bags.

The most minimal expenses for a semi-automatic line, according to our expert Andrey Govorkin, will amount to at least 2.5 million rubles. In this case, it will be necessary to purchase not roll bag paper, but semi-finished products, losing profitability. Plus put up with a large amount of manual labor.

“More than 1,500 packages per shift will not work, you will have to turn around like a squirrel in a wheel,” the expert noted, “You need to be pragmatic about the choice of equipment. There are too many nuances to trust advertising articles on the Internet. In addition, the cost of paper is also not cheap.”

Ordinary sack paper is sold at 36,000 rubles per ton, bituminized sack paper costs almost 50,000 per ton, and bagged kraft paper and laminated paper cost 75,000 and 90,000 rubles per ton, respectively. High transport costs make it unprofitable to buy one roll.

The minimum working capital for semi-automatic production is estimated at 300-500 thousand rubles.

Staff

The semi-automatic production of paper bags will require at least six workshop workers, including a foreman. But the duties of the driver, advertising manager and director will have to be performed by the business owner. He will also monitor the normal operation of the equipment, as well as ensure compliance with contracts with service departments.

Premises for rent

When choosing a room, it is not necessary to focus on areas with good infrastructure, but the workshop should be warm and dry. Workers need to be provided with good conditions in terms of safety and sanitary standards.

Income and payback periods

Building materials factories, as a rule, have their own huge production of paper bags. Therefore, experienced businessmen are advised to bet on several categories of consumers.

“Having invested approximately 3-3.5 million rubles in a semi-automatic line, it is hardly necessary to focus on 400 thousand rubles of profit per month, as you can sometimes read on the Internet. The maximum I received was 175 thousand rubles a month, and on average - 100-120 thousand of income. Not bad, but not mountains of gold, ”Andrey Govorkin shared.

In his opinion, the business will pay off in 2-3 years.

Business risks

The forums talk in detail about the risks and disadvantages of business:

“The equipment, alas, often breaks down. In my opinion, this is the most big risk, so how to find a good specialist difficult for cars. You have to figure everything out yourself. The real headache is spare parts. Before you buy machines, do not be lazy, find those who have already purchased them.

“Last year, I was idle three times: an average of two weeks. The workers don't like it. They may not come, but there is a lot of manual labor, and the equipment is noisy. Not everyone will go to this production to work.

“I have a small package production. It's hard and laborious. But, as the French say, "a la guerre comme à la guerre" - in war, as in war. business as usual with your problems and risks, but not 20 thousand a month like at a factory when you work for your uncle.

Conclusion

In the production of paper bags, it is not necessary to count on large incomes, although a lot depends on the clientele. Experienced businessmen complain about the unreliability of the equipment on the market and the shortage of qualified tuners and repairmen. However, entrepreneurs do not see these challenges as insurmountable. Among the advantages of the business, one can single out good prospects, taking into account the “war on landfills”. This means that paper products can be expected to replace polyethylene products over time.

Making paper bags is considered very profitable business. For a successful start, you need to choose the right production equipment.
We will consider the basic equipment for the production of bags in small batches using the example of the assortment of one domestic enterprise. The release program is approximately 250 bags/hour.

Recently, one can notice such a trend: there are more and more business ideas related to environmentally friendly production - hybrid cars, organic food and cosmetics, clothes made from natural materials, waste recycling and much more.

This also applies.

This idea is not new, but quite relevant in modern times.

As you know, plastic bags decompose for a long time, causing harm to the environment.

For this reason, many countries have already moved away from such packaging and preferred paper packaging to it.

In addition, many products and goods must be stored in paper.

Therefore, if you want to contribute to the conservation of nature, then this line of business is perfect for this purpose.

Let's take a closer look at the main organizational issues such a business.

Paper Bag Business Overview

Few people may come up with the idea to start the production of paper bags.

This is due to the fact that this industry is not so popular among future or experienced entrepreneurs.

But packages of this kind surround us everywhere, which indicates the demand and demand for this product.

So, paper bags are used for packaging:

food products - baking, bakery products, flour, salt, coffee, tea, cereals;
ready meals to order - fast food, ;
flowers and plants;
gifts;
elite alcohol;
clothes;
industrial products and dry building mixes.

The main consumers, and, consequently, the distribution channels will be the following enterprises:

Consumers	Purposes of use
Cafes / restaurants	Takeaway food packaging
Retail stores and supermarkets	Packaging of baked goods, culinary products and products for sale
Food manufacturers	Packaging and storage of sugar, flour, salt, chocolates, sweets, coffee, tea
Clothing stores	Packaging of purchased clothes and accessories
PR agencies	Brochure and booklet packaging
Gift shops and flower shops	Decorative packaging for goods sold
Industrial enterprises	Packaging and transportation of dry building mixtures: cement, gypsum, and charcoal
Agricultural enterprises	Packaging and storage of fertilizers and compost

It can be seen that the range of use of paper bags is quite wide.

But the main consumers will be the legal entities or individual entrepreneurs who are engaged in the described activities.

Moreover, the enterprises listed above constantly need such packaging, since it is essentially disposable.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Paper Bag Making Business

Consider a number of advantages and disadvantages associated with the production of paper bags.

Advantages:

a wide range of uses, which leads to a large potential number of consumers;
low advertising costs for the business: you can put your contact details directly on the package;
simple and understandable production technology;
fast payback and high profitability;
the ability to work with wholesale lots of goods.

Disadvantages:

high competition;
despite the large number of consumers, there are difficulties in establishing distribution channels;
there are practically no development prospects, except for a simple business expansion;
expensive equipment;
it is desirable to purchase printing equipment for applying drawings and logos to the packaging, as well as your contact information.

Technological process for the production of paper bags

It is impossible to start such a business without knowledge of the technological process.

It consists of three main steps:

Selecting the type of material and making blanks
Drawing a picture or logo on a paper bag
Sewing and gluing the bottom of the package
Making, if necessary, a valve for the package
Bottom fixation
Pressing paper bags for their further packaging and transportation.

Stage	Description
Making blanks for the future package	There are two types of bags: with longitudinal or transverse sizing. The package itself looks like a multilayer sleeve. If the packaging is supposed to be used for dry building mixes, perforation is used.
Application of drawings or logos	This stage is selective, since not every production has special equipment for drawing patterns. Drawing can be applied in such ways: offset printing, silk screen printing, flexography, embossing.
Sewing and gluing the bottom of the package	Depending on the wishes of the client, the bottom of the bags can be stitched or glued. The first way is more expensive.
Valve manufacturing	Valves are made on special equipment, and are designed to ensure that the package can be closed.
Bottom fixing	Bags with a glued bottom are additionally pressed, and with a stitched bottom, they are stitched again with a special “chain” stitch.
Packaging of ready-made paper bags	Finished packages are pressed and packed into bales, which, after marking, are sent to the warehouse for shipment of finished products.

How to start paper bag production: step by step algorithm

Starting any business should begin with a business plan.

Firstly, with the help of it you can streamline the entire organization process, secondly, make detailed calculations of financial investments, and thirdly, calculate possible risks.

Be sure to pay attention to the following steps:

registering a business and collecting the necessary permits for;
search for premises for the future workshop and its preparation;
selection of raw materials and search for their suppliers;
purchase of the necessary equipment;
recruitment of production and administrative staff;
financial calculations;
study of possible risks.

1. Business registration

To start entrepreneurial activity, it needs to be registered.

There are two options to choose from: Sole Proprietor or LLC.

Opening the first option will be cheaper, but then there is no way to hire a lot of people, the second one is more expensive, but more promising, since in the future there is an opportunity to expand the business and also hire a staff of people.

When registering, you will be required to provide a contract for the sale or lease of premises for the production workshop, as well as a number of documents:

permits of the sanitary and epidemiological station and the fire service;
product quality certificates;
documents for equipment for the production of paper bags;
certificate that the company is tax registered.

2. Search for premises for the workshop

Before registering a business, it is necessary to find a premise for the future production of paper bags.

No special and exceptional requirements are put forward for him, except for increased attention to fire-fighting measures.

And so everything is quite standard - it should be equipped with such communications:

electricity with a voltage of 380 volts,
water supply,
sewer,
ventilation,
heating.

As for the area of the room, it should be large - at least 120 square meters. m.

Then the workshop must be divided into a production part, warehouses for raw materials and finished products, and sections for workers.

3. What raw materials are needed to produce paper bags?

One of the benefits of starting such a business is the availability of raw materials.

Depending on the purpose of the future packaging, you can use paper of different density, structure and color.

Most commonly used:

plain paper,
cardboard,
craft,
luxpack,
efalin,
art libris and more.

To glue and stitch the edges, seams and bottom of the bag, you will need special glue and threads.

4. Equipment for the production of paper bags

To open a shop for the production of paper bags, you will need special equipment, which may differ in the type and composition of the production line, capacity, and the method of fixing the bottom.

So, for gluing or flashing, you will need different machines.

If funds allow, it is possible to purchase immediately mixed equipment.

As for automation, there are both fully automated machines that do not require human intervention, and semi-automated ones.

As a minimum composition of equipment, it is necessary to purchase such machines and devices for:

forming and gluing layers of a paper tube (blank) - 500,000 rubles;
forming and gluing the bottom of the package - 250,000 rubles;
gluing or stitching the seams and edges of the package - 200,000 rubles.

On such a complete set of equipment, you can receive up to 200-250 pieces of bags per hour.

When deciding to expand the business, you will have to purchase the following equipment:

machine for printing and applying drawings and logos;
perforation machine;
paper loading device;
device for pressing finished packages;
mechanism for lifting and turning paper;
machine and containers for the preparation of adhesive composition;
device for flashing the multilayer bottom of the packages.

A fully equipped production line, which will produce 1,500 finished bags per shift, will cost 2,000,000-4,000,000 rubles.

5. Recruitment

“Successful people are always on the move. The more success they achieve, the more they want to achieve it in the future, and the more they find ways to achieve their success. In the same way, another tendency works, when something fails, during these periods, it is very important to hold on and not go into a downward spiral.
Tony Robbins

Even with the opening of a small workshop on its own, it will not cope.

The staff of the enterprise should include production and administrative personnel.

Position	Qty	Salary, rub.	FOT, rub.
Total:	10		RUB 199,000
Production personnel
Shift supervisor (chief foreman, technologist)	2	20 000	40 000
Shop workers	4	17 000	68 000
Driver	1	15 000	15 000
Administrative staff
Director	1	30 000	30 000
Sales manager	1	23 000	23 000
Accountant	1	23 000	23 000

The work of the shop workers is not qualified, but the shift supervisor, who will monitor and manage the technological process, requires knowledge of the equipment.

In order to avoid downtime in production and not to reduce productivity, the work schedule of production personnel should be in shifts.

As for the position of director, at first the business owner himself can take over his duties.

6. How much money do you need to start and maintain a business?

Financial calculations in are key indicators that demonstrate the profitability of the business.

The main costs for opening the production of paper bags are summarized in the table:

For a business to function, it is necessary to spend monthly on renting premises, paying salaries to employees, paying utility bills, purchasing raw materials, and establishing distribution channels.

Monthly expenses will look like this:

7. Income forecast

In second place in importance after the calculation of capital investments, is the income forecast.

To do this, you will need the following indicators:

the cost of recyclables - 35,000 rubles / t;
the average amount of raw materials used for the production of one package is 8 g;
the cost of one package is 3.4 rubles.
the number of sold packages per month - 180,000 pieces;
the average cost of one package is 8 rubles.

Based on the above data, you can calculate the expected profit and, therefore, the payback period.

With an approximate net profit of 490,000 rubles, the investment in the production of paper bags will pay off in a year and a half, which is quite acceptable for such a large capital investment.

And here is what the equipment for the production of paper bags looks like:

8. What problems and risks may arise?

Any business has a number of risks and problems that may arise in the course of its conduct.

And in order to solve them in a timely manner, you need to know about them in advance.

So, you may encounter the following problems:

search for cheap raw materials

Consumers deal with paper bags on a disposable basis, so it is best to work with recycled materials in this case.

To do this, you need to look in your region for factories and plants that are engaged in paper processing.

energy saving

The production of paper bags requires a large consumption of electricity, so it is recommended to purchase modern energy-saving equipment.

establishing sales channels

Despite the large number of consumers of paper bags, it is important to enter into long-term contracts with enterprises that need such products.

To do this, you need to cover as much of the market as possible in your city and offer cooperation to bakeries, supermarkets, shops, florist shops, and construction companies.

Perhaps some clients will come by themselves.

Thus, production of paper bags- this is a worthy business that brings a good monthly profit.

The most important thing here is to find customers for your products as soon as possible.

And if you can as soon as possible establish distribution channels and offer cooperation to many enterprises, you can shorten the payback period and quickly begin to expand the business, and reach a new level.

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

Every year, humanity 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 vehicles, 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 number of food products (flour and sugar), charcoal for barbecues (here a paper bag carries a double load: it is also used for ignition), some building 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 for your 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 to the income from the main activity. In the second, it allows you to do without the cost of promoting your products.

To open a mini-production of paper containers, you should focus on the mass consumer. By signing an agreement for the supply of your products with a supermarket, bakery or other large enterprise that uses paper packaging, you can ensure the production of a certain number of orders and establish stable sales. This will be the first step towards organizing a highly profitable and promising business.

Technology for the production of paper bags and bags

The paper bag production process consists of 5 technological steps:

Drawing a logo or drawing. For these purposes, various modern methods of application are used - offset printing, flexography. You can choose the best option for your production by contacting the printing house with which you plan to cooperate.

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

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
	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

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).

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. The 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 the useful property of being reconfigured to the desired format of products (length - from 30 to 120 cm; width - from 20 to 61 cm for the described line), unlike mini-factories, producing packages or bags of only a predetermined and exposed format and requiring structural additions to change it.

Raw materials and consumables

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. The minimum working capital for semi-automatic production is 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. The average rental price is 100-150 sq.m. for Moscow and St. Petersburg will be approximately 60 thousand rubles, in Russia - 34 thousand rubles.

The average rent for industrial premises is 100-200 sq. meters*

Possible risks of paper bag production

Ready-made ideas for your business

Another important problem is finding buyers. Before starting production, agreements should be made for future packaging deliveries. Grocery and retail stores, bakeries, fast food establishments, printing houses, agricultural and industrial enterprises that produce mineral fertilizers and building materials may be interested in your products. To work with potential customers, it is recommended to develop a 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.

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 potential customers by e-mail, 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.
