Why do we need corporate bags with a logo? Branded bags with a logo Who needs bags with a logo.

Once upon a time, bags were in short supply in our country and many were used even when the paint was peeling off and holes were sealed with tape. At that time, the packages were colorful: with different landscapes, photographs of female models and images of cities. always stood out from the crowd and they were always foreign transnational companies (Coca Cola, Pepsi ), and with varnish from under clothes and shoes it was perceived as a full-fledged bag, which young girls constantly carried.

More than 10 years have passed and now a package with a logo is taken for granted. Not only product brands began to make bags with logos consumer consumption, but also on b2b market. It has become customary to give corporate gifts in branded paper bags, both large and small.

So what is the functional purpose of the package from a marketing and advertising point of view?

Firstly, in addition to its direct task (packing items), it creates an atmosphere and significance for the person to whom the package is presented, especially when a gift is given. A beautifully designed package gives psychological weight to the gift. And we are always pleased to receive “expensive” gifts. Small paper bags are often used by jewelry and watch companies.

Secondly, the package itself is another free advertising medium for your company, where you can indicate services, products, company contacts,For example, a cellular companyBeeline successfully used branded bags, accessories and textiles, using only its corporate colors - and now the person is already a bearer of the brand and reminds of it (mind you for free).

That’s why branded bags are used by so many manufacturers and retail chains of clothing, shoes, retail chains, food products, electronics, and food delivery companies. Even if you have 1 small store, it is worth allocating a budget for such a talking advertising medium as a package. After all, it works not only when it is openly carried along the street, but also when the buyer comes home.

Moreover, on packages and other souvenirs and promotional clothingdo not distribute prohibiting “advertising law”. M archetologists of the alcohol and tobacco industry, think about this topic,After all, such packages can be issued in retail chainsand brand departmentsand now your advertising is moving independently around the city. You just need to remember that this will work with large-scale distribution of packages.

If the package is larger than A4 size, then it is often left and then used for their own needs and periodically contacted with your brand message, which encourages repeat purchases.

The latest trend in packaging is textile bags with a logo, in particular for boxes for shoes and clothes. It has been noticed that such handbags are used more often in life than plastic bags. The downside may be that the bag itself is much more expensive than bags.

Considering that for some motorists bags and bags for car tires are a real discovery, the question of what bags for car wheels are for cannot be considered rhetorical. Therefore it is worth dwelling on it in more detail.

Purpose of bags for wheel tires

Specialized tire bags are designed for convenient and practical carrying or for secure storage of car wheels of standard diameters. Package sizes may vary. They depend on parameters such as tire width, wheel diameter and rubber profile.

Bags for car wheels are made from so-called low-density polyethylene, which is durable. The thickness of the material can reach 18 microns, although in most cases products are produced with a film thickness of 12 to 16 microns. Therefore, in such products it is possible to carry out long-term storage and transportation of wheels of quite large mass.

They are usually produced in white color, thanks to which the shell retains most ultraviolet solar radiation, which negatively affects the condition of rubber. The surface of the bag can be made rough, which prevents it from sliding on any surface.

The dimensions of the standard package are usually 100x100 centimeters, which allows it to be used for most common types and sizes of wheels of modern cars. During use, special folds on the sides of the bag straighten, which increases its volume.

The bags can be used to store tires not only in the garage, but also in the apartment or on the balcony. After all, they prevent the unpleasant “rubber” smell from penetrating outside. In addition, a plastic bag prevents the luggage compartment or interior of the car from getting dirty while transporting the wheel. It becomes most relevant to purchase such bags and bags during the seasonal replacement of tires.

Advantages of wheel bags over other storage options

Among the most important advantages of the packages are:

• Their affordability. If the package becomes unusable for some reason, you can simply replace it with a new one, rather than bother with cleaning or restoring it, as is the case with covers.
• Strength of the material.
• Reliable protection from dirt, dust, ultraviolet radiation and accidental exposure of rubber to aggressive chemicals.
• Possibility to place wheels of standard sizes in the package.
• You can also order a package for a specific wheel size - for a motorcycle, bicycle, special vehicle, etc.
• Possibility to place the logo of a car service company on the package and thus provide advertising.

Wheel packages are regularly purchased by motorists around the world. For Russia, this type of product has become a relatively recent innovation, but thousands and thousands of car owners have already appreciated it.

As a result, it turns out that special packages for car wheels are really a profitable purchase from all sides. They are both extremely inexpensive and extremely effective. We can safely recommend them to the widest range of car owners.

Today we are so accustomed to packaging bags that we don’t even think about what materials are used for this or that type. We note rustling or creasing, degrees of transparency and strength, but we don’t even think about what the bags are made of in millions of copies. Depending on the material, bags can be divided into the following global categories:

• made of plastic;
• made of paper;
• from craft.

The most common type of packaging in all the variety of packages are bags made of polymers (plastic): HDPE, LDPE and PSD. Low-density polyethylene (HDPE, PE-HD), which is an organic compound of the polyolefin class ((-CH2-CH2-)n).

Primary HDPE granules are a thermoplastic crystalline polymer of ethylene white. They have a linear structure and a small number of branches, due to which they are characterized by high crystallinity.

HDPE granules are produced in industry using technologies that provide low pressure. The most popular of them are the following: polymerization in suspension, production of high molecular weight compounds in hexane, gas-phase polymerization.

The polymerization method is by far the most common. Purified ethylene and a mixed organometallic catalyst are used as raw materials for the production of HDPE.

The prepared solution undergoes polymerization at high temperatures and pressure of 3.4-5.3 MPa, it is catalyzed (using mainly Ziegler-Natta catalysts) for 10-15 minutes.

From the resulting mass, polyethylene is obtained by removing the solvent by evaporation and separation. Granulated polyethylene is subjected to steam treatment.

Low-density polyethylene has the following distinctive characteristics:

• Physical and mechanical properties of a given material depend on the degree of crystallinity and branching of the molecular mass. For example, thin polyethylene films are characterized by great plasticity, while in the form of thick sheets this material becomes rigid. The water absorption of HDPE is not significant (products made from it do not allow moisture to pass through and can be used in places of high humidity).
• Chemical properties This material guarantees products made from it increased frost resistance. It is resistant to most fats and oils. Does not react with salts, alkalis and acids (therefore, can be used for the production of bags and other packaging for enterprises chemical industry). Does not emit toxic substances during operation. Polyethylene itself is highly sensitive to oxidation, so to increase its service life, stabilizers are introduced into it. HDPE is resistant to compression and stretching, although it is prone to cold flow (change in size under constant load).

High-density polyethylene (LDPE, PE-LD) is a white polymerization product in granular form. Unlike primary ethylene granules, LDPE macromolecules contain side hydrocarbon chains C1-C4, which leads to the fact that the density of this material is lower than that of HDPE and PSD.

Secondary granules are a synthetic material produced in tubular reactors by polymerization or in reactors using radial initiators. They can be produced either in pure form or with the addition of dyes, stabilizers, etc. polymerization occurs under the influence of oxygen, organic peroxides, or combinations thereof.

Ethylene is mixed with an initiator, heated and compressed by a compressor. The resulting polyethylene is cleaned of unreacted raw materials, sent to a grinding conveyor, which brings it into its proper form, which, being dried, is packaged and sent to warehouses.

Additionally it can be painted. The main difficulty is technological process– the need to carry it out in a device that can withstand high pressure; and in addition, to obtain granules, ethylene must go through several cycles in the reaction system - due to the low degree of conversion.

Unlike HDPE, from which bags are made, as well as from LDPE, the latter is not resistant to oils and fats, as well as ultraviolet rays. Otherwise, it is a convenient packaging option.

It is a good dielectric, does not dissolve in any solvent at room temperature, and can withstand a weight load of 7 to 20 kg. The film obtained from LDPE is transparent, smooth to the touch and stretches easily. It is mainly used to make bags with loop and die-cut handles, in which you can carry objects with cutting edges and sharp corners.

Medium pressure (mixed) polyethylene is also called mixed polyethylene. To make it, LDPE and PSD are mixed in various proportions. Depending on the percentage, the material will have properties characteristic of the above materials. For example, the strength of the resulting film will be greater if 4-15% of primary granules are added to the LDPE; if HDPE is taken as a basis, and secondary granules are added, then the products acquire greater elasticity and become more resistant to tearing.

This type of polyethylene is produced at a pressure of 3-4 MPa in an autoclave or tubular reactor. It has a highly crystalline structure. Chemically resistant, physically durable, dielectric.

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic non-polar polymer of synthetic origin, which also belongs to the class of polyolefins.

Chemically represented as (C3H6)n. Available in the form of homopolymer and copolymers obtained at low and medium pressure by copolymerization of propylene and ethylene with the addition of organometallic catalysts; in the form of white powder or granules; stabilized, unpainted and painted.

Standard on Russian market this material is designated as PP, but other abbreviations may also appear, for example, PP HO (homopolymer), HIPP (highly isotactic polypropylene homopolymer), PPM (propylene-ethylene block copolymer (low content)), PPR (propylene-ethylene block copolymer). ethylene (medium content), PPU (propylene-ethylene block copolymer (high content)), PP random copolymer (random copolymer of propylene and ethylene), PP-EPDM or PP/EP (blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer ), EMPP (rubber modified polypropylene), mPP (metallocene polypropylene), etc.

Polypropylene can be divided into the following types (relative to the main chain relative to the side groups (CH3-)):

• isotactic;
• syndiotactic;
• ataxic.

IN industrial scale produce an isotactic type polymer characterized by a high degree of crystallinity, hardness, heat resistance and strength. In terms of density, polypropylene is inferior to polyethylene, but at the same time it is more heat-resistant and hard, and is practically not subject to corrosion cracking.

Polypropylene is characterized by resistance to alkalis, salt solutions, a number of acids and other aggressive environments. Only strong oxidizing agents have a significant effect on it. At normal temperature It does not dissolve in organic liquids and can serve as an insulating material.

The maximum operating temperature of PP is 120-140ºС. Products made from this material will withstand boiling and steam sterilization without deformation or change in properties. Its frost resistance temperature ranges from −5 to −15ºС, but this characteristic can be improved by adding ethylene to the macromolecule.

Moreover, due to the presence of tertiary carbon atoms, this material is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Prolonged irradiation of unstabilized PP leads to its premature aging. It is transparent - polypropylene acquires this property thanks to the introduction of a nucleator, as well as special adjustment of temperature fluctuations.

Paper

Today, the percentage of paper used in the production of bags is increasing, since this raw material is inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Also, paper bags are indispensable for storing and transporting many goods that cannot but lose their properties when using polyethylene. In addition, the paper is ideal for applying various types of advertising to its surface.

Absolutely any paper can be used as a starting material. However, for the production of thin bags they often use - coated cardboard.

A special coating of adhesive and plasticizing substance and pigment (chalk or kaolin) is applied to the cardboard. This coating gives the material additional special properties and shine.

Coating makes the material, above all, attractive appearance. Almost mirror gloss, low porosity of the front layer guarantees the best further printing processing - a high-quality and bright image.

Coating can be carried out in three ways: machine, non-machine and cast. Also used is the method of over-coating the material, followed by smoothing and leveling it with a scraper - a long thin plate.

This method is called scraper coating. In addition, the coating can be applied in several layers to provide additional whiteness and shine to the surface.

The material, coated on one side, is called duplex. It consists of a bottom layer (bleached or unbleached cellulose (waste paper)), a liner (a thick layer of cellulose, waste paper or low-quality wood pulp), a top layer (bleached or unbleached cellulose, wood pulp or bleached waste paper) and the coating itself.

The composition of the material coated on both sides, triplex, is somewhat different. If the liner remains the same, then the top and bottom layers should be made from higher quality raw materials.

According to the pan-European classification, coated cardboard is divided into three types:

SBB (SBS) - Solid Bleached Board (Sulphate) - made of bleached cellulose, solid, density 185 - 390 g/m2, single- or double-sided coated;

FBB - Folding Boxboard – chrome mersatz. – three-layer (the outer layers are made of bleached chemical cellulose, the liner is made of wood pulp). Its density is 170-850 g/m2, coating is triplex;

WLC - White lined Chipboard - is made from waste paper pulp with the possible addition of wood pulp. The insert is made of cheap cardboard, the outer layers are made of high-quality waste paper. Both duplex and triplex coating is possible.

Cardboard is also marked according to the German classification at the manufacturing plant: uncoated (UD), cardboard made from virgin fibers, duplex and triplex - GC, GD and GT, respectively.

In Russia there are a number of additional characteristics: M - cardboard coated on the top layer of bleached cellulose, MNO - coated cardboard (unbleached base), MO - coated cover.

Coated paper

Another thing bags are made from is coated paper. Its production at the initial stage is no different from the process of producing ordinary paper. The paper web is dehydrated, pressed and dried. The paper is filled with kaolin, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide and glued.

The fabric is then passed under pressure and high temperature between the shafts to give it strength, smoothness and shine.

The paper is then coated once or repeatedly with coating paste. Each subsequent coating is applied either to the dried first one or to the wet one. Depending on the amount of coating paste applied to the paper and the depth of penetration, coating is divided into light, full and cast.

When scraper coating, the paste is applied in excess. And then the excess is removed with a special knife; when cast, the coating layer is sprayed, which makes the coating more uniform.

Coated paper is classified according to a variety of characteristics: by the content of fibrous components, by the number of coating layers, by the weight of the coating, and by the component composition.

The properties of coated paper include density, whiteness, sunlight permeability, roughness, moisture and resistance to plucking of the paper web.

Each trademark offers several types of paper of different weights. The main densities of coated papers are 70, 90, 130, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 g/m2. Packages with a density of 80, 115, 170 g/m2 are also in demand.

Roughness or smoothness indicators determine the average height of paper micro-irregularities in microns. This indicator for coated papers should be about 0.83 microns. Resistance to plucking is an indicator that affects the quality of printing. For coated paper, this indicator varies from 4 to 7, which ensures optimal paint absorption.

Craft

The raw material for the production of kraft paper is long-fiber cellulose. It is further processed by a certain method - sulphate cooking. Its essence is to remove the substance lignin from the incoming raw material, the properties of which prevent the production of strong and bendable paper material. The main part of the crafting process involves treating wood chips with an aqueous solution that contains sodium sulfate and hydroxide.

The density of kraft paper is in the range of 35-120 g/m2. Depending on it, the scope of application of kraft paper is determined. Kraft paper bags are breathable, durable, moisture- and temperature-resistant.

The quality of the pulp used in the production allows kraft paper to be given various shades. Using unbleached wood will result in a brown color, while bleached wood will produce shades from yellowish to white.

It is important that kraft paper is environmentally friendly. It can be used as a recyclable material due to the use of wood in its production. Kraft has excellent protective properties both from mechanical stress and from the effects of temperature and direct sunlight.

Spunbond

The word “spunbond” is used both for the name of the nonwoven material and for the technology of its production itself. The main raw materials for creating this material are chemical fibers, most of them polypropylene, the advantages of which include resistance to chemicals, mechanical stress and low weight.

Spunbond technology is the main method for producing this non-woven textile material by melting polymer raw materials, carrying out its complete purification, making a mixture of fibers and forming continuous flow threads of small diameter. Actually, the die is a perforated heat-resistant steel plate.

Subsequently, the resulting threads can be fastened using various technologies, depending on desired result(areas of application). In production, the most common methods are needle-punched bonding and thermal bonding (using calenders, hot rollers that melt the threads at certain points).

Regarding the characteristics of spunbond on physical level, then this material is resistant to creasing and has the ability to restore its original shape after removing the “irritant” that caused local deformation.

Long-term use of spunbond bags and bags is possible due to its resistance to liquids and acids. It does not rot or mold; it can withstand cold down to -55 °C without changing its strength, and with the addition of special components at the production stage, heat up to 130 °C. Can be painted while the polymer is melting, as well as when already formed into finished product. Non-toxic in air and water at temperatures environment even in the presence of other factors and foreign substances.

Papermatch

The technology for producing papermatch bags from polymer paper allows you to integrate the strength inherent paper bags, with elasticity and low cost of polyethylene.

Calcium carbonate and talc of various fractions are used as additives to polyethylene. These additives give the surface of the material used a dullness and “roughness”, making it look like a PSD (medium pressure polyethylene) bag. Silk-screen printing looks advantageous on such surfaces. The colors are absorbed perfectly, the images are shiny and bright.

The use of additives makes a paper match bag look like paper - it wrinkles, crunches and seems quite dense, while having the strength of polyethylene.

• What are the advantages of using branded bags with a logo?
• How branded bags with a logo are made

You can often hear the following remarks from clients: “Why do you need to buy packages with a company logo?” or “I’d rather buy a regular bag without a picture, because it’s cheaper,” etc. But really, why overpay, is it necessary? Let's figure out what branded packages with a logo are available and what their role is in the business processes of the company purchasing them.

What business benefits can branded bags with a logo provide?

Today, branded bags with a logo are an important and integral part of any organization, be it a small local company or the largest trading network, whose sales points are located all over the world. The original color and design of the packages may become business card for your company, in addition, they will provide additional advertising and attract new clients.

Therefore, the production of bags with your organization’s logo is important marketing ploy, which in no case should be neglected.

Company owners have long noticed that in modern world advertising on paper or in media mass media does not bring the expected result. Therefore, every businessman strives to popularize his company using other advertising methods, including branded bags with a logo.

Think carefully about the design, make the packages bright and stylish, then they will surely attract the attention of many people. But each of them can be potential client companies. Therefore, branded bags with the company logo are a simple and effective way disseminate information about new services or products of the company among the population.

You can order branded bags with a logo at any enterprise specializing in the production of packaging products. Before placing an order, it is important to analyze reviews about the plant and its ratings. This is very important, because the quality of the packages will partly reflect the quality of your goods.

The production of branded bags with a logo is carried out by companies that have mastered modern technology applying images to various materials. The price of the product will depend mainly on the quality of the source materials. The production of bags with a logo is a well-established, fast process, and it is such thanks to the high qualifications of the manufacturer’s employees used in production innovative technologies and a well-functioning production mechanism.

Not long ago, the most common type of packaging became paper branded bags with a logo. The high demand is due to the attractive appearance of the products and their practicality.

By ordering branded bags with a logo, the company receives not only attractive packaging for its products, but also additional advertising, and also increases its status in the eyes of customers.

Packages with a logo have proven themselves as good way transfer of information to customers and are therefore used by each successful company. They are practical and easy to use, emphasize the style and solidity of the company, and most importantly, despite all their advantages, their costs are minimal.

Branded bags with a logo are used as packaging for bulk, piece and weight goods; they are able to preserve the attractive appearance and freshness of products.

Branded packages are widely used in all types of businesses. They are used not only by companies involved in the sale of goods, but also by companies that specialize in the construction, reconstruction and finishing of various objects.

The use of branded packages with a logo guarantees a constant influx of new customers interested in the company’s services and products.

Based on everything said above, we can conclude that the production of branded bags with a logo is in demand. The company’s presence of not only high-quality goods, but also original packaging for them shows its high status and interest in good customer service.

How to make branded bags with a logo

The style, design and material for branded bags with a logo should be chosen in accordance with the tasks that the packaging is designed to “solve”. For example, if packages are needed for delivery to customers simple goods, used in everyday life, then practical and inexpensive polyethylene can be used as a material for them.

If branded bags with a logo are used as gift packaging business partners, work colleagues, clients, then you shouldn’t save on them. In this case, it is better to use designer paper as a material. Bags made from it will look expensive, stylish and original.

Process the source material and apply it to it corporate logo you can use one of the following methods, such as:

1. Flexography.
2. Silkscreen printing.

Flexography is a machine method of applying an image. It is fast and economical, and therefore is used for the production of large quantities of branded bags with a logo.

Silk-screen printing is a method of printing images, which, in comparison with the previous one, is characterized by high material costs. And all because the method of applying an image to the surface of a product is more labor-intensive and time-consuming, but at the same time the quality finished products significantly higher.

When producing branded bags with a logo using silk-screen printing, the paint is pressed through a special mesh, which is attached to a frame with edges of a given width. This option of applying logos and images to bags is used for small orders, but with high requirements to the quality of the product.

In addition to these methods, the following methods are used to design branded bags with a logo:

– branded bags with a logo are coated with a special polymer solution, which hardens literally in a split second when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Thanks to this, the surface of the product becomes smooth and acquires a glossy shine. This coating looks original and stylish if it is not applied to the entire package, but used only for the logo. Due to the contrast of glossy and matte textures, the desired effect is achieved.

Thanks to this method of decorating branded bags with a logo, the image can be given an interesting texture and metallic shine. The foil is placed on a special cliche and, subjected to high pressure and temperature, is combined with the material used, resulting in a stylish metal imprint left on the packaging. Embossing is done with silver, gold or colored foil.

– a method of applying a logo to a branded package without the use of paints and foil. The relief image on the product is obtained by embossing paper between the matrix and counter-matrix, as a result of which the material used is deformed and the logo on it becomes convex.

Logos can be printed both on branded paper bags and on packages made from LDPE, PSD or HDPE. Of the last three options, it is most practical to use high-pressure film - LDPE. It is more durable and stretchable, and, in comparison with PSD and HDPE, it looks more presentable. LDPE bags do not wrinkle during use, do not rustle, look beautiful, have shine and smoothness, and most importantly, they are very reliable.

Thanks to their increased strength and stretchability, branded LDPE bags practically do not tear, even if they have already been partially damaged. This is very important, both for the convenience of the buyer and for the image of the company. For example, if the bottom of the package is accidentally punctured, it will not tear completely and will allow you to bring your purchases home safely.

Printed images on LDPE bags do not bleed, which ensures a clear and attractive appearance of the printed company logo.

Branded bags with a logo can be made using ready-made stamps or according to an individual order of a company. Each company has the right to independently choose suitable materials, the variety of which will satisfy even the most demanding customer:

1. Coated paper.
2. Efalin.
3. Imitlin.
4. Various designer papers.
5. Polylit.
6. Craft paper and other materials.

All existing species packages are classified according to several criteria.

Depending on the shape and orientation, the packages are:

• vertical;
• horizontal;
• square;
• narrow, designed for bottles.

Depending on the type of fastening and handles:

• branded bags with rope handles;
• bags with cut-out handles.

What to follow when ordering a circulation of branded bags with a logo

So, the dimensions of the goods presented in the store can vary very widely, so it is necessary to answer two main questions:

1. Which products from the entire range are the most popular?
2. What maximum size product that should fit in a branded bag with a logo?

A fragile and unreliable package can cause a serious blow to the company's image. Excessive savings on packaging materials can lead to large-scale financial losses in the future.

When it comes to producing branded bags with a logo, you must use common sense and respect the price-quality ratio.

• The price of the package is directly related to its thickness.
• If the bag will contain light and soft goods, for example, textiles, then dense branded bags are more likely a payment for the status and image of the company, rather than for usefulness and practicality.
• But if the product or its packaging has sharp and hard edges, then a thick bag will be an ideal option.
• To increase the carrying capacity of your packaging, order branded bags with reinforced handles.
• The reliability and strength of products directly depends on the selected material.

And, in conclusion, a number of compelling arguments in favor of purchasing branded bags with a logo:

1. In any case, purchases are given to the client in packages, which means that the company still spends part of the budget on them. But such packaging does not perform functions other than containers for goods. Which means cash were wasted.
2. A branded package with a logo is an effective and inexpensive way to attract new customers through constant “walking” advertising.
3. A branded package with a stylish design and high quality, will increase the status of your company not only in the eyes of customers, but also of competitors.

Plastic bags are used everywhere: in supermarkets and stores, for standard and gift packaging, for storing food and removing garbage.

It is impossible to list all the areas of application of plastic bags. Gone are the days when our compatriots preferred to use rag bags, and plastic bags were carefully folded and stored. Today, a plastic bag fulfills its main purpose - to be a disposable means for packaging and comfortable transportation of products. This means that the demand for them will be stable and not prone to decline.

In addition to the obvious functions, packages have become a means of effective mobile advertising - after all, almost everyone large company, boutique or supermarket there is a branded package with the company logo, a list of services and contact information, which are distributed as a gift. And the client is pleased, and there is never too much advertising.

Analysis of demand for products (plastic bags) and sales market

According to statistics, the market domestic production There are enough unfilled niches, because 20% of polyethylene products continue to come from foreign manufacturers. At the same time, the main competitors of domestic entrepreneurs are Turkish and Chinese-made bags, characterized by extremely low prices and appropriate quality. Torn handles, not completely soldered seams, falling out bottoms are just a small list of the “delights” of purchasing such products. But for our consumers, price has always been the decisive factor, so such competition takes place, especially in border regions.

However, this only applies to direct wholesale sales finished products. It is much more profitable to work to order, concluding agreements for the supply of packaging materials and ready-made bags for various trade, manufacturing, construction and agricultural enterprises. This is where the “company image” rule comes into play: no self-respecting company will offer the buyer a product in low-quality packaging.

Polyethylene products are in demand in any region. Moreover, even if your city already operates large plant, average and small business will freely find his niche by studying the offers of competitors. There are many types of plastic bags: banana bags, T-shirt bags, garbage bags, gift bags, promotional packaging with a logo, single-layer, multi-layer, various sizes, colors and shapes. The entrepreneur’s task is to find products with the highest demand, or to occupy a niche not covered by other manufacturers.

Choosing a strategy and legal registration of business

When starting the production of plastic bags, you can go in two ways:

• full cycle production (from film production to production of bags of any configuration);
• partial production (from purchasing finished film, applying images, cutting into shapes with subsequent soldering).

Let's consider full cycle like more perspective view business. Although capital investments such an enterprise will require more sales opportunities, versatility of the products produced and, accordingly, profitability will be significantly higher. In addition, such an enterprise can become the same supplier of finished film for incomplete cycle production.

Possibility of using the finished film:

• universal packaging material,
• construction waterproofing,
• material for greenhouses, greenhouses and other needs of the agricultural sector,
• protection from pollution during construction or repair work.

Optimal organizational form for the production of polyethylene products – legal entity on a simplified taxation system.

When registering an enterprise, you must indicate the following OKVED codes:

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

To start a workshop, you will need a production certificate, permits obtained from the local administration, the sanitary-epidemiological and environmental service, energy supervision, and fire protection. The production of film for plastic bags must comply with GOST 10354-82 (certification of cling film must be confirmed every 3 months). But in order to obtain such a certificate, you must run technological line (of course, after receiving all production permits), and provide the resulting samples for an expert opinion.

Premises for the production of plastic bags

The production of polyethylene film is an environmentally harmful production, therefore there are a number of specific requirements for choosing a room:

• the production workshop or mini-factory must be located in an industrial or suburban non-residential area;
• availability of supply and exhaust ventilation, heating and humidity control in the workshop and warehouse;
• three-phase electrical connection, grounding of batteries; - ceiling height of at least 8 m (extrusion machine height ~6 m), interior decoration walls, floors, ceilings - made of non-combustible materials;
• placement of production equipment in the workshop premises must comply with GOST 12.3.002-74;
• the presence of a fire protection system, the possibility of safe evacuation in case of fire;
• the organization of workplaces must comply with the requirements of GOSTs 12.2.061-81 and 12.3.002-74, as well as ergonomic characteristics in accordance with GOSTs 12.2.033-78, 12.2.032-78.

To accommodate a complex of production equipment, you will need a room of 300 square meters, which will be divided into three parts: a production workshop (180 m2), a warehouse for raw materials and finished products (80 m2), an office and an exhibition hall (40 m2).

Equipment for the production of plastic bags

For the production of polyethylene film with subsequent formation of bags, it is planned to purchase a production line consisting of the following equipment:

1) Extruder– converter of raw material granules into film (width 300-550 mm, thickness - 0.009 - 0.10 mm), using the bottom-up blowing method. Productivity – 40 kg/hour;

2) Flexo printing machine– for printing drawings, logos and other images;

3) Plastic Packaging Clip Making Machine;

4)Multifunctional bag making machine, with a built-in punching press, equipped with a servo drive, a photosensor, a conveyor, thermal needles, and allows the production of packages of various modifications, incl. T-shirt, banana, double bottom seal bags, garbage bags, food packaging with plastic clip, etc.

The cost of the production line with delivery, setup, personnel training and signal launch is RUB 3,840,000.

In addition to machines, it is planned to purchase office, exhibition and warehouse equipment (racks, boxes, boxes, tables, stands) for storing raw materials, finished products and equipping workplaces for personnel. The cost of additional equipment for the workshop is 60,000 rubles.

Raw materials for the production of polyethylene bags

Polyethylene film is made from first grade or recycled polymer granules.

Two types of raw materials are used:

• HDPE (low-density polyethylene, GOST 16338-85), for contact with bulk and dry products;
• LDPE (high-density polyethylene, GOST 16337-77), intended for food packaging).

The cheapest raw material is South Korean granulate (~ $380 per ton), but there are many other types of domestic or foreign production, with a price range from $420 to $750 per ton. To produce colored film, special dyes are added to the raw materials ($15-50 per 1 kg).

At production of garbage bags or other types of non-food film, you can also use recycled granulate, which is much cheaper because it is made from polyethylene waste, but the quality of such raw materials is correspondingly low.

Technology for the production of plastic bags

1. Polymer granules are loaded into extruder hopper, from where they are picked up by the feed auger. Here the temperature is maintained from 180 0 C to 240 0 C and as they move, the granules heat up, melting into a homogeneous mass. As a result of extrusion, a polyethylene film is formed in the shape of a pipe (sleeve). One extruder can produce film of various thicknesses and widths through special settings.

2. The polyethylene “pipe” is gradually cooled, then rolled out with rollers.

3. The sleeve is cut with an automatic knife so that two identical strips of the required width are obtained.

4. The winder winds the film into rolls (cuts are packaged separately for recycling). When the roll width reaches established size, the roll is moved away with the help of the operator and the next one begins to wind. And so on until the end of the produced film.

5. Drawing. The paint is diluted with alcohol and constantly stirred so as not to lose viscosity.

6. Using a dispenser, the dye is supplied to special ink rollers, which print the design. After printing, the film is again wound into rolls.

7. The finished roll enters the bag-making machine, where a template for future bags is formed and the bottom fold is highlighted.

8. A stamping press makes holes for the handles (cuts out the “t-shirt”, cuts off the top for attaching a plastic fastener - it all depends on the template).

9. The welding surface connects the edges, sealing them by heating up to 180 0 C. The finished bags are formed into packs of 100 pieces.

10. Quality control. Checking the soldering of seams and fasteners.

Business plan for the production of plastic bags

The cost of manufacturing plastic bags is calculated individually for each order, since in addition to the price of the granulate used, it depends on a number of additional factors:

• size, shape, package design,
• film density,
• the presence of a reinforced handle and bottom fold,
• color printing (number of shades involved, pattern area, presence of complex registrations, one-sided, two-sided printing, etc.).

To calculate the payback of a business project, let’s take the production of white opaque bags with a die-cut handle, 40 cm wide, 60 cm high and a side fold thickness of 16 microns.

The cost of such a package made from HDPE granules is 0.13 kopecks, and the wholesale selling price is 0.70 kopecks. Considering that production capacity allow you to produce about 70 pieces/minute, then with one-shift work and 22 working days, the profit will be: 60 min * 8 hours * 22 rubles/day * 70 pieces (0.70 - 0.13 rubles) = 421,344 rubles/month .

Consumable part:

• rent production workshop(300 m 2 * 150 rub./m 2) = 45,000 rub./month,
• electricity – 8,000 rub./month,
• heating (for 6 months of the heating season, divided equally into all months of the year),
• water and others public utilities– 12,000 rub./month,
• staff salaries (6 people: director, accountant, technologist, 3 workers) – 128,000 rubles/month.,
• income tax (15% of profit minus expenses) – 34,252 rubles/month.

Total expenses: 227,252 rubles/month.

Net profit: 421 344 – 227 252 = RUB 194,092/month.

Profitability calculation:

Initial investment (RUB 3,930,000):

• purchase of equipment - RUB 3,840,000,
• additional equipment – ​​60,000 rubles,
• costs for documentation production (opening law firm, obtaining the necessary permits and product certification) – 30,000 rubles.

With an estimated profit of RUB 194,092/month, the initial investment will pay off in 1 year and 9 months.

It should be borne in mind that the calculations were based on one of the simplest options for finished products, but everything depends on demand and sales opportunities in your region. For example, the selling price of color packages of the same parameters will be higher by 15%, with one central single-color image - by 34% (with an increase in cost of 5 and 10%, respectively). In addition, the company can accept orders for the production of LDPE or HDPE packages according to individual designs, and the profitability of such projects is much higher.
