How to open an industrial production of plastic bags. How to open an industrial production of plastic bags Make plastic bags with a logo
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. The packages are used in a variety of areas of production and service. The demand for them is growing steadily every year, and manufacturers operating on the market cannot cover it. The niche is open to new participants, so the production of bags 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 provide economic calculations.
Market trends
Plastic bags in Russia began to be produced and introduced into the market in the mid-1980s, although they became widespread in the 90s.
According to data for 2016, the world market for flexible plastic packaging exceeded 60 million tons. This is somewhere around 1.5-2 trillion bags. The dynamics in the Russian Federation in recent years are as follows:
- 2013 - 26.7 billion units;
- 2014 - 24.7 billion units;
- 2015 - 24.3 billion units;
- 2016 - 22.6 billion units.
Production and consumption volumes on the market are recovering after a fall in 2014-2015, and the share of importers is declining. If just a few years ago more than half of all PE bags were imported, then in 2016 only 5 billion pieces were imported.
There are several in Russia large manufacturers and many small ones.
Analysis of product demand and sales market
Plastic bags are used for carrying and storing various things and products. This product is used in all areas of business. In everyday life, in wholesale and retail trade, in industrial enterprises, in the construction industry.
The demand for PE bags is increasing in proportion to the growth of production in the country. How more products, the higher the need for packaging material. There are a lot of varieties: “T-shirts”, gift, advertising, single- and multi-layer, for garbage.
It is worth highlighting the area of marketing separately. All large companies they order branded bags with logos and designs printed on them - this is an important element of advertising promotion.
What are the pros and cons of producing plastic bags as a business?
Before launching a business project, it is necessary to perform a SWOT analysis to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the business.
The advantages of the production of plastic bags:
- high demand, possibility of constant sales through long-term contracts;
- simple production technology using special equipment. (the process is automated);
- employees do not need to undergo long training - just go through general training on management and maintenance of equipment;
- The raw materials are inexpensive and can be recycled.
The disadvantages are as follows:
- high costs for workshop equipment to ensure a full cycle;
- you will need a large room to accommodate all the equipment;
- V wholesale sales Goods are most often sold on deferred payments - this creates the risk of debt and a decrease in working capital.
What does it take to open a small factory?
The main expense item for initial investment- purchase of a production line. The main monthly expense item is the purchase of raw materials.
Table 1. The amount of initial costs for creating 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 costs include costs for communal payments, advertising, cosmetic repairs.
Legal registration
We hope to open large 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 undergo testing and receive a certificate of conformity from Rospotrebnadzor. The certificate must be confirmed every quarter (this is important because consumers request documents of compliance).
Permissions from the city administration, fire service, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision are also required.
Technology
An entrepreneur can establish a full or incomplete production cycle. A full cycle means performing the entire range of work. If the cycle is incomplete, you will have to purchase finished film at an inflated price - this affects the cost finished products.
The production process consists of several stages.
- Polyethylene granulate is poured into the extruder. Here the raw materials are melted until smooth.
- By squeezing the alloy, a sleeve of film is formed.
- The sleeve is cooled and rolled out using rollers.
- Using equipment (automatic knives), the sleeve is divided into sections of the required length. Drawings are applied to these segments (if necessary).
- The film falls under the press, where the bottom fold of the bag is created, the handles are cut out, and the shape of the workpiece is determined.
- The edges are soldered - the product is ready.
Room
The production premises must be located in industrial area 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 ceiling height in the work shop where the production line will be located is at least 8 m, three-phase electricity. All communication systems must be equipped, good ventilation must be present (so that harmful fumes escape). It is recommended to make cosmetic repairs.
An access road must lead to the premises.
Suitable area - 300 sq. m for the workshop, storage facilities for raw materials and finished products, administrative premises, locker rooms, bathrooms.
When arranging the premises, take into account 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 and does most of the work itself. The staff only operates the equipment and monitors its operation. The equipment described in this section provides a full production cycle.
Table 2. Equipment required for the production of plastic bags.
Raw materials
There are 2 main types of raw materials for the production of PE bags:
- polyethylene high pressure(LDPE), granular, for food products(requirements according to GOST 16337-77);
- granulated low-density polyethylene (HDPE), for non-food products (requirements according to GOST 16338-85).
To apply color images you will need:
- concentrate for coloring polyethylene;
- paints for drawing;
- solid polymer MSX-145 for creating photopolymer clichés and forms.
You can also create non-edible film using recycled granulate, which is much cheaper. The quality of the finished product based on it is worse.
On Russian market plastic raw materials from both Russian and foreign manufacturers are sold.
Staff
The equipment for the production of PE bags does most of the work itself - production workers perform only a maintenance function. This allows you to reduce staff and monthly costs. However, the salary must be high to motivate people to work well and “hold on” to their place.
The staff should include:
- workers in the workshop, 2 people;
- loaders, general workers, 2 people;
- technologist, 1 person;
- sales manager, 1 person;
- driver, 1 person;
- accountant, 1 person;
- manager of a mini plant, 1 person.
You can combine the positions of a technologist and a shop manager - the person holding this position will monitor how other employees work. We recommend hiring a driver with your own car, and outsourcing an accountant. The functions of the manager of a mini-factory can be taken on by the businessman himself.
Marketing and sales plan
Start looking for buyers and orders even before production begins. Conclude preliminary agreements or full contracts with potential buyers.
Thoroughly study the market, current supply and prices, find those who need plastic bags for work. A sales manager will work with clients - negotiate and conclude contracts. Design and print POS materials (including business cards).
Make an official website, describe the advantages of your enterprise in it, place Commercial offer. Organize a mailing list.
Be sure to place ads on the Internet, thematic media, and promote your products at industrial exhibitions.
Payback and profitability calculations: business plan
Size initial costs amounted to 5.24 million rubles.
The workshop will operate 22 days a month for 8 hours (standard working day). Line productivity per hour is 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. (the cost of 1 package is 75.2 kopecks).
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 will hardly be possible to sell everything that is produced in a month. If you line up an active sales activities, work in different regions and actively promote yourself, you can pay for yourself in about 1 year.
Tables 3. Economic justification for a business idea.
PE bags are harmful to the environment. The plastic from which they are made takes 300 years to break down. There is not yet a full-fledged system for the collection, disposal and processing of polyethylene - neither in Russia nor in other countries. Most of the used bags end up in landfills, dumped into the ocean, and cause significant harm to the planet’s biosphere. Because of this, many countries (mostly the USA, Western Europe, Japan) are gradually abandoning this product and are looking for a replacement (for example, paper bags).
In Russia, the volumes of production and consumption of plastic bags are growing. Experts believe that this situation will continue in the medium term.
One more 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 just being developed, but in a few years the fee could be introduced - this will create an additional burden on producers. Take this into account when drawing up detailed business project.
Despite the negative attitude of environmentalists towards polyethylene, the idea of production is profitable. According to the business plan, the production of plastic bags will reach zero within a year of active work. The business requires considerable expenses, but the financial return is quite decent.
The Spectr Pro-Active company, a direct manufacturer of polyethylene products, offers to order wholesale packaging with your own image in Moscow and the Moscow region with further delivery. Product production is the main direction of our work.

- Full range of offers: from creating a template to delivering ready-made packages.
You can clarify the specifics of selecting products for a specific purpose and place an order for products with a design or printing on products from our employees by calling the numbers listed on the website.
What film materials do we use for production?
The Spectr Pro-Active enterprise produces packaging using the following film materials:
- High pressure (HHP);
- Low pressure (LPP);
- Medium pressure (MPD);
- Multilayer film (COEX).
The high-pressure film is similar to wax upon tactile contact. It has little strength and is translucent. As for service characteristics, LDPE is resistant to compression, separation, and resistant to mechanical defects from sharp objects. In any case, this material is quite easy to pull out. Typically, fashion products are made directly from high-pressure film. For presentation or promotion, it is recommended to use high-pressure film packaging.
Low-pressure film is the most durable, bags made from it are made thinner, less energy is spent on them, and subsequently the price of these products is noticeably lower. In addition, these packages have a high tensile density. The disadvantages of HDPE products are: appearance, difficulties in printing full-shade images with high resolution and fairly rapid wear of polyethylene. This packaging is considered suitable for numerous applications.

Features of the production of plastic bags | When manufacturing products Special attention
is given to such a parameter as density. Its standard value is 50 microns. At the same time, plastic bags with a density in the range of 50...100 microns can be produced to order. This characteristic is directly related to the strength of the finished product and its wear resistance. Denser products withstand severe mechanical tensile loads, while reducing the likelihood of tearing or damage to the material.
In the manufacture of plastic bags, low, medium or high pressure polyethylene is used:

Manufacturing plastic bags is a fairly common business. However, it has not lost its relevance for many years. People buy plastic bags to carry luggage, pack gifts in them, put groceries in them when leaving stores and supermarkets. Such containers are inexpensive. It is often used as an advertising field to popularize trademark or shares. To produce polyethylene products, you will need a production line of several installations, a production workshop and several personnel. This business can be classified as a small business.
How to start a business producing plastic bags
Before you start organizing production, you need to study the product market in your region. Usually about ten enterprises “get along” well in one economic zone. Of course, there is competition among them, but there is also enough work for everyone. It is necessary to analyze whether there is a free product niche where you could sell your product. Large enterprises, even on a national scale, not so much. For example, the production of T-shirt bags is usually established in each region. It meets the needs of enterprises and the population. On average, the profitability of the full production cycle is 15%.
How much money do you need to start a business producing plastic bags?
The easiest way to build technological process– this is the stamping of finished bags from polyethylene blanks. To do this you will need a cutting and soldering machine. It costs on average 200-250 thousand rubles. A semi-automatic device will cost even less. However, such equipment will make it possible to produce the simplest and cheapest products from thin film. Any additions in the form of handles will require other production equipment. But the assortment can be supplemented with garbage bags.
Technology for the production of plastic bags
Polyethylene film is a transparent and thin material that is produced by extrusion. The method itself consists of pressing molten raw materials through a hole of a given size and shape. The units for its implementation are called extruders. The raw materials are poured into it in the form of granules, and at the exit from the installation, a polyethylene blank in the form of a sleeve or sheet will be obtained. Polyethylene granules are produced by domestic factories, so delivering it to production is not difficult. Typically, granules are used that are closest to a spherical shape and have a size of 3-5 mm. You can use recycled materials for garbage bags. The extrusion unit is the basis of the production line.
The whole technology can be described as follows:
Simple products without handles are simply fed into the machine, sealed and cut. The technology for producing T-shirt bags is a little longer. First, the bottom of the bag is sealed, then the handles are cut using a hot knife. If the product has a pattern, the equipment recognizes it using a photocell.
Equipment for the production of printed plastic bags is complemented by a photographic machine. By the way, it can work not only with polyethylene surfaces. Elastic paints are used as colorants.
Today you can find a variety of models and configurations on the bag production equipment market. Mostly devices from China, Korea and Turkey are presented. Gradually, domestic manufacturers began to develop this market. It is important to choose the best option that would satisfy the needs of production and allow expanding the range of products. A basic set of machines will cost approximately 60 thousand dollars. The printing machine will cost about 65 thousand dollars. If a businessman does not have enough investment to purchase it, then the application of the image can be entrusted to other companies that have such equipment. The cost of printing services will not greatly affect the cost of the final product.
What kind of premises is needed for the production of plastic bags?
There are certain requirements for the room where the line will be installed. This should be a workshop with high ceilings. The extrusion machine has quite large dimensions, and its height reaches 6 meters. Exhaust and heating must work in the room. Unsteady temperatures or excessive pollution in the air affect the quality of polyethylene. Personnel must be recruited at the rate of one employee per technological operation. Working with the equipment is not difficult, but it is still better if employees are trained to use it. Such courses are usually organized by machine tool supplier companies.
How much can you earn from producing plastic bags?
And some more numbers. All machines for producing bags will cost a minimum amount of 250 thousand rubles. This is if you focus on the basic option. The equipment is capable of producing 25 thousand products per shift. The cost of one package usually does not exceed 30 kopecks. When purchasing in large quantities, prices start from 60 kopecks. In a month, an enterprise producing the simplest products can receive an income of 500 thousand rubles. This figure is calculated taking into account the fact that all products are sold without delay in warehouses. The return on investment will then occur in 12-18 months.
Finally, it should be mentioned that all over the world today they are trying to switch to more environmentally friendly packaging materials. In our country there is no competition for plastic bags yet. They can be used without any restrictions. However, given the general trend towards the use of environmentally friendly packaging, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of producing alternative, more natural products.
Which OKVED code must be specified for the production of plastic bags
For this line of business, the OKVED code is in section “C”, which corresponds to manufacturing. It contains a special code 22.22, which directly relates to the manufacture of plastic products intended for packaging various goods.
What documents are needed to open
When opening small production– mini-workshops, it will be enough to register as individual entrepreneur. The registration period does not exceed 5 days. To do this, you will need to submit an application and attach a photocopy of your passport to it, as well as pay a state fee for its consideration. You will need to register with government bodies and open a bank account.
If you set up production that is quite impressive in terms of volume, then you need to register legal entity, in this case, a society with limited liability. The package of documents here is more impressive compared to an individual entrepreneur. In addition to the application itself, you will need:
- Shareholders' decision to create an LLC;
- Charter;
- information about the director and chief accountant;
- payment of state duty;
- legal address;
- authorized capital, etc.
Which tax system to choose for the production of plastic bags
IN mandatory When submitting documents for registration, you will need to indicate the taxation system according to which taxes will be paid. Simplification is suitable for this area of activity. It allows you to pay 6% of the income received or 15% of net profit, i.e. from the income-expense difference. However, in the latter case, you will need to provide supporting documents about expenses incurred during the reporting period.
