Production of LDPE packages as a business

Previously, polyethylene bags were used very rarely. But now they are in demand in various spheres, since the products are comfortable and cheap. Therefore, the production of LDPE packages will be in demand in business, because the demand for such products is always stable. To do this, it is necessary to carry out a marketing research to establish the saturation of the market and determine the minimum price of the product. Then everything will develop successfully.

Type of ownership

Before the production of LDPE, HDPE packages is opened, it is necessary to register the form of ownership of your enterprise. For this type of activity it is proposed to open an IP or LLC.

The best choice will be the design of a legal entity. It is advisable to apply a simplified taxation system. With registration it is necessary to designate OKVED codes:

• 25.2 - manufacture of products from plastic;
• 25.22 - production of plastic goods for packaging;
• 51.47 - wholesale of other non-food consumer goods.

Required documents

In order to start the production of LDPE packages, it is necessary to collect some documents. It is required to obtain the permissions that are issued by:

1. SES.
2. Administration.
3. Electro-inspection.
4. Ecological service.
5. Fire protection.

The entrepreneur must take into account that during use, the bags are in contact with the products. Therefore, the production should have sanitary control. Before work it is necessary to pass certification.

The products must comply with GOST 10354-82. To get certified, we need to start production and provide samples for examination. A certificate is required every 3 months.

What kind of room do you need?

To start the production of LDPE packages, you need a suitable building. It must meet certain criteria:

• Height of ceilings - no more than 10 meters;
• Maintaining the temperature regime;
• Since there will be a production with the use of chemicals, the workshop must be farther from residential areas;
• Availability of quality exhaust and ventilation;
• Working area - from 180 square meters. M, and the total area of the workshop is 300 square meters. M;
• The voltage is 220-280 W;
• Presence of fire alarm, evacuation outlets;
• On the walls and ceilings should be materials that do not burn.

To produce polyethylene bags, water is not needed. But the central water supply is still required, otherwise the permit will not be issued from the SES.

Equipment and cost

In order to start the production of HDPE bags, LDPE from the film, a line of equipment is needed. The mandatory devices include:

1. Extruder. The equipment is needed to convert the granules of raw materials. It can produce up to 40 kg of polyethylene per hour. It costs 650 thousand rubles.
2. Flexo printing machine. It is used for applying images to products. The price is 450 thousand rubles.
3. Machine for the production of plastic clips for packaging. The cost is 45 thousand rubles.
4. Packing machine. It is used to impart products of different sizes and shapes. The price is 750 thousand rubles.

The equipment will have to spend 1 million 895 thousand rubles. With it, production of LDPE bags with a logo will be available.

Necessary raw materials

For the production of packages, polyethylene is used in granules. You can buy it abroad or deliver domestic products. There are 2 types of materials:

1. HDPE (low-density polyethylene). It is used in reception of packages for storage of loose, dry products.
2. LDPE (high-density polyethylene). Used in the production of packaging for the transport of food.

In the manufacture of packages, secondary raw materials are also used. Its price is much less. From it, garbage bags of LDPE are obtained, the production of which will also be in demand. Secondary raw materials serve for the production of polyethylene for non-food purposes. In addition to granulated polyethylene, a dye is required to produce the product. The right color is created by adding it to the liquid mass.

Workshops

The advantage of business is that for its conduct the workers do not need specific knowledge. To master the features of production under the power of everyone, so the difficulties with recruitment will not arise. Workers will get to master the subtleties of manufacturing products for a shift. To produce LDPE and HDPE packages was fully established, about 10 people are needed.

Costs and Recoupment

It is necessary to invest about 3 million rubles. The cost price depends on:

• Size;
• Design;
• Thickness;
• Presence of a strengthened handle and bottom masonry;
• Presence of a color image or logo.

The average cost of receiving the package is 13 kopecks. The wholesale price is 40 cents. For a month there will be the following expenses:

• Lease of the shop - 45 thousand rubles;
• Electricity - 8 thousand;

The amount of profit is determined by the demand and saturation of the sales market. The original value of the sale is higher. The wholesale price of some products reaches 70 kopecks.

Advice

It should be borne in mind that large investments are needed to open large-scale production. To reduce costs at the initial stage, you can produce products from the finished material. But it should be understood that in the future it is still necessary to open a separate polyethylene production so that the business is competitive.

With the equipment it will be possible to create packets of different colors, sizes, assignments. Ready-made packages can be used for advertising, receiving additional income. Before opening such a business, you need to think through all the nuances so that in the future there could not be any difficulties.
