Our company is manufacturing plastic bags with a high quality logo, which are an attribute of corporate identity and are used by enterprises to promote a new brand. - a high-tech process that is performed on modern equipment using high-quality primary raw materials and consumables.
Print Methods:
- silkscreen (circulation from 100 pieces)
- Drawing a picture using stencils.
Persistent dye in the locations of the printing elements penetrates the printed material. Silk-screen printing can be used to apply large images with sufficient brightness. When making bags, this process takes a minimum of time. - Flexography(runs from 3000 pieces)
- rotational printing based on liquid quick-drying inks using printing elastic forms mounted on cylinders with different circumferences.
The process is fast, not expensive and allows you to get a high-quality, very bright and wear-resistant logo. Profitable with a circulation of more than 3000 copies
In the process of manufacturing bags, high, medium and low pressure polyethylene is used. Before printing, the product is exposed to an electrical current. After such a procedure, the logo remains in its original form for as long as possible. The production of bags of various types is carried out using equipment of a certain model.
Bag making process
First stage making bags "Extrusion" is a process of converting granular polyethylene into a film.
AT manufacturing facility raw material comes in granules. The pellets pass through the forming holes of the extrusion equipment, whereby they are melted. The melted granules are sent to molding. During the molding process, the amorphous hot mass turns into a film, which cools down, hardens, and then is wound into rolls.
Second phase- Drawing on a film of drawing.
Polyethylene is applied with flexographic printing, which is characterized by high productivity. In recent years, flexography has been widely used for printing on the film of future packages and packaging material. At the second stage of bag production, a special dye-printing machine is used.
Third stage- the roll is cut into a package.
Film rolls with a finished pattern are cut into bags using special cutting machines. For the manufacture of products of various types are used various models high-tech devices that also perform cutting and strengthening of handles. Automated machines are able to recognize cuts and welds, carry out recalculation and packaging of finished products.
In the manufacture of bags with a logo, products are obtained various shapes, With different ways handle attachment.
Our company produces plastic bags:
- type "t-shirt";
- high pressure with a cutting handle;
- medium pressure with cutting handle;
- low pressure with a cutting handle.
Bags made of high-density polyethylene have an attractive appearance. They will not tear, even if there is an object with sharp edges inside. The logo is applied to the finished LDPE products with a cutting handle using the silk-screen printing method. HDPE bags (matte and rustling) are able to withstand a very large weight. They can accommodate bulky items. Products of PSD are characterized by high density. The design and size of products, the composition of raw materials and the method of applying the logo are selected based on technological capabilities, the wishes of the customer, terms and circulation.
In order to pack sandwiches and fruits, the first packing bag was made in America in the 50s. It turned out that it was convenient, and already in the 60s bread began to be sold in such packages. Traditional "T-shirts" appeared on sale only in the 80s, and all over the world they have become popular since the early 2000s. And for good reason: the production of plastic bags is quite simple, the price of the product is low, and the convenience is mass. Today we will “look” into the workshop and tell you how plastic bags are made.
Technology for the production of plastic bags
The production of polyethylene bags takes place in several stages:
- the extruder blows out a polyethylene "pipe";
- the pipe is cut into pieces;
- glue the seams by welding;
- cut out handles;
- drawing or coloring is applied on a special machine;
- after this, the product can be further laminated. Of course, this is not required for “shirts” and “packings”, but for long-term options with handles, branded packaging, it is relevant.
How film appears
The polyethylene film from which the bags are made is produced by extrusion. First, polyethylene in the form of granules-balls is loaded into the extruder hopper: there it melts at a temperature of 180-240°C, is pressed through and blown out through a round hole. The molten material under the pressure of air rises to the top of the extruder, where it is cooled and wound on a drum. When the required footage is wound, the film is cut and a new roll is started.
Important: if you immediately need to get an opaque film, then dye is poured into the extruder hopper along with the granules.
Printing a pattern
To apply a picture or logo, you will need a machine: flexographic - for runs of more than 3000 pieces or silk-screen printing - for runs of 100 pieces.
What is the difference between silk screen printing and flexography:
- silk screen printing uses stencils to quickly create bright and large images;
- The flexograph prints with highly elastic liquid inks. The machine consists of rollers on which soft polymer-printed forms are mounted. The dispenser feeds the ink, the roller is wetted with it, and then the drum starts rewinding the film. During rewinding, the film rotates the rollers, and they leave a bright, durable pattern on it.
The paint must be diluted with technical alcohol and constantly stirred during operation so that it does not thicken.
Cutting and welding seams
The bag making machine cuts the roll according to a given pattern, forms a fold on the side and on the bottom seam. heating press at a temperature of 180 ° C, it seals these folds into the seams in just 2 seconds.
Sealing takes place according to a given seam size - this indicator is responsible for the strength of the package, since the greatest load goes to the bottom.
Now the film has turned into a roll of blanks, and it is sent for cutting. To do this, the roll is pulled through an optical sensor: it marks the boundaries of each package, guided by the pattern and seams. Such a sensor is required when you need to put logos or a specific picture in a certain part of the package.
A guillotine (hot knife) or a punch press cuts products according to a template, and also forms a handle. Depending on the template, the handles can be cut out, if this is the manufacture of T-shirt bags, they can be cut to shape, for which a special nozzle is required for the press. At “bananas”, the handles are reinforced: they are soldered on with dense plastic of the same color.
That's all: ready-made bags are packaged in 100 pieces, sent for quality control, and then to the warehouse.
For packaging finished products, you will need plastic clips. For their manufacture, you also need a special installation.
Equipment for the production of plastic bags
So, for a full cycle, you will need such machines for the production of plastic bags:
- extruder - "inflates" sheets 30-50 cm wide and 0.1 mm thick from polyethylene granules. Piston, disk, single-screw and multi-screw extruders with a capacity of 40 kg / h are suitable;
Warning: you can save money by buying a semi-manual machine and a finished film, but in the end the cost of the finished product will be higher. It will be possible to produce on such a machine only “packing” and garbage bags - you won’t be able to clear up the assortment. Therefore, companies with full-cycle production often have cheaper packages than semi-handicraft shops, and the product line is wider.
- a bag-making machine with a built-in heating and punching press, thermal needles, a photosensor - it will cut and cut handles (“T-shirts”, “bananas”, packages with a plastic clip, etc.);
- flexograph - will print a picture;
- machine for laminating, drying and making clips.
The service life of the machines is about 10 years, if preventive maintenance is done in time.
A plastic bag production line needs a shop floor system that maintains temperature control. This is necessary so that the resulting sheet cools and freezes evenly.
The workshop should have ceilings from 8 meters, area - approx. 150 sq. meters. To protect the health of employees, powerful ventilation is needed, since when melted, polyethylene releases aggressive volatile compounds. Therefore, the workshop building itself should be located in a non-residential or industrial area. Equipment, placement, systems and organization of workplaces are checked for compliance with GOST 12.3.002-74, 12.2.061-81 and 12.3.002-74.
Raw materials and suppliers
Raw materials for the production of polyethylene bags must comply with GOST 10354-82 (it is necessary to pass certification on a quarterly basis, providing produced samples for examination).
The best polyethylene for the production of bags is spherical granules with a diameter of 3-5 mm.
What are plastic bags made of?
- high pressure polyethylene (LDPE)- it is high-quality, non-toxic, designed for the food industry. Goes to the production of polyethylene bags for packaging. “T-shirts” are made from it, bags with cut and loop handles. The product does not tear even from sharp objects and does not crack in the cold. Complies with GOST 16337-77;
- low pressure polyethylene (HDPE) - there are both better options with food contact approval, and standard HDPE for storing dry and bulk products. Such products can withstand a lot of weight, garbage bags are often made from them. They are not afraid of frost and chemicals, they correspond to GOST 16338-85.
LDPE compared to HDPE is softer, more plastic and more pleasant in appearance, with a matte surface. HDPE is tougher, denser, not so transparent and rustles.
In addition, all granules are divided by type into the first grade and recycled polyethylene.
Recycled polymer bags are worse in quality, they are toxic, it is forbidden to put food products in them. Secondary raw materials are suitable only for the production of garbage bags.
Among manufacturers, granulated polyethylene of grades 10803-020, 15813-003 and 15313-003 of Russian (Kazanorgsintez PJSC, Tomskneftekhim LLC) and South Korean production is popular.
The manufacturing process itself is simple. The main thing is to work before the start of production: do not save on automatic equipment and high-quality raw materials. Recycled polymers and semi-automatics often result in high cost and time costs that cancel out any initial savings.
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. Packages are used in the most different areas production and service. Demand for them is steadily growing every year, and manufacturers operating on the market cannot cover it. The niche is open to new entrants, so bag making 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 give economic calculations.
Market trends
Plastic bags in Russia began to be produced and introduced to the market from the mid-1980s, although they received mass distribution in the 90s.
According to data for 2016, the market for flexible plastic packaging in the world exceeded 60 million tons. This is somewhere between 1.5-2 trillion bags. The dynamics in the Russian Federation in recent years is as follows:
- 2013 - 26.7 billion units;
- 2014 - 24.7 billion units;
- 2015 - 24.3 billion units;
- 2016 - 22.6 billion units
The volumes of production and consumption in the market are recovering after falling in 2014-2015, the share of importers is declining. If a few years ago more than half of all PE bags were imported, in 2016 only 5 billion pieces were imported.
In Russia, there are several large manufacturers and many small ones.
Analysis of product demand and sales market
Plastic bags are used for carrying, storing various things and products. This product is used in all areas of management. At home, in wholesale and retail trade, on the industrial enterprises, in the construction industry.
Demand for PE bags increases in proportion to the growth of production in the country. The more goods, the higher the need for packaging material. There are a lot of varieties: "T-shirts", gift, advertising, single and multilayer, for garbage.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the field of marketing. All large companies order branded packages with logos and drawings printed on them - this is an important element of advertising promotion.
What are the pros and cons of plastic bag manufacturing as a business?
Before launching a business project, it is necessary to perform a SWOT analysis, assess the strengths and weak sides affairs.
The advantages that the production of plastic bags has:
- high demand, the possibility of constant sales through the conclusion of long-term contracts;
- simple production technology using special equipment. (the process is automated);
- employees do not need to train for a long time - it is enough to pass general training management, maintenance of equipment;
- raw materials are inexpensive, there is the possibility of recycling.
The cons are the following:
- high costs for workshop equipment to ensure a full cycle;
- you need a large room to accommodate all the equipment in it;
- in 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 the initial investment is the purchase of a production line. The main article on monthly expenses is the purchase of raw materials.
Table 1. The amount of initial costs for starting 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 the cost of communal payments, advertising, cosmetic repairs.
Legal registration
We expect to open large production- we will sell goods 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 pass an inspection and obtain a certificate of conformity from Rospotrebnadzor. The certificate must be validated every quarter (this is important as consumers request conformity documents).
Permits are also needed from the city administration, the fire service, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.
Technology
An entrepreneur can establish a complete or not full cycle production. A full cycle means the implementation of the entire complex of works. With an incomplete cycle, you will have to purchase finished film at an inflated price - this affects the cost of finished products.
The production process consists of several stages.
- Polyethylene granulate is poured into the extruder. Here the raw material is melted to a homogeneous state.
- By squeezing the alloy, a film sleeve is formed.
- The sleeve is cooled and rolled out with rollers.
- With the help of equipment (automatic knives), the sleeve is divided into segments of the desired length. Drawings are applied to these segments (if necessary).
- The film falls under the press, where the bottom fold of the package is created, the handles are cut out, and the shape of the blank is determined.
- The edges are soldered - the goods are ready.
room
The production facility should be located in the industrial area of the 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 height of the ceilings in the workshop where the production line will be located is at least 8 m, the electricity is three-phase. All communication systems must be equipped, good ventilation must be present (to remove harmful fumes). It is recommended to make cosmetic repairs.
An access road should lead to the premises.
Suitable area - 300 sq. m for the working workshop, storage facilities for raw materials and finished products, administrative premises, locker rooms, bathrooms.
When arranging the premises, consider 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, most of the work is done by itself. The staff only controls the equipment, monitors its work. The equipment described in the section provides a complete production cycle.
Table 2. Equipment required for the production of plastic bags.
Raw material
There are 2 main types of raw materials for the production of PE bags:
- high pressure polyethylene (LDPE), granular, for food products(requirements according to GOST 16337-77);
- low-pressure polyethylene (HDPE) granular, for non-food products (requirements according to GOST 16338-85).
To apply color images, you will need:
- concentrate for dyeing polyethylene;
- paints for drawing;
- solid polymer MSX-145 for creating photopolymer clichés and forms.
It is also possible to create a non-food film using secondary granulate, which is much cheaper. The quality of the finished product based on it is worse.
On the Russian market plastic raw materials of both Russian and foreign manufacturers are sold.
Staff
Equipment for the production of PE bags does most of the work itself - workers in production perform only a service function. This allows you to reduce staff and monthly costs. However, the salary must be high in order to motivate people to work well and “hold on” to the job.
The staff should include:
- workers in the workshop, 2 people;
- loaders, laborers, 2 people;
- technologist, 1 person;
- sales manager, 1 person;
- driver, 1 person;
- accountant, 1 person;
- mini plant manager, 1 person
You can combine the positions of a technologist and a foreman - the person holding this position will monitor how other workers work. We recommend hiring a driver with your own car, an accountant - outsourcing. The businessman himself can take over the functions of the head of a mini-factory.
Marketing plan and sales
Start looking for buyers and orders even before production starts. Make preliminary agreements or full-fledged contracts with potential buyers.
Carefully study the market, the current offer and prices, find those who need plastic bags for work. A sales manager will work with clients - to negotiate and conclude contracts. Design and print POS materials (including business cards).
Make an official website, describe the advantages of your company in it, place offer. Organize a mailing list.
Be sure to place ads on the Internet, thematic media, promote your products at industrial exhibitions.
Calculations of payback and profitability: business plan
The amount of initial costs amounted to 5.24 million rubles.
The shop will work 22 days a month for 8 hours (standard working day). Line capacity per hour - 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. (cost of 1 package - 75.2 kop.).
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 net of expenses - 1.28 million rubles.
In this case, the payback period will be only 4 months. But to sell in a month everything that is produced, for initial stage hardly succeed. If you build an active marketing activity, work in different regions and actively promote yourself, you can pay off in about 1 year.
Tables 3. Economic justification business ideas.
PE bags are harmful to the environment. The plastic from which they are made decays within 300 years. There is still no full-fledged system for the collection, utilization and processing of polyethylene - neither in Russia, nor in other countries. Most of the used bags end up in landfills, are 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, looking for a replacement (for example, paper bags).
In Russia, the volumes of production and consumption of plastic bags are growing. According to experts, this situation will continue in the medium term.
Another 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 only being developed, but in a few years the fee may be introduced - this will create an additional burden on manufacturers. Take this into account when compiling detailed business project.
Despite the negative attitude of environmentalists towards polyethylene, the idea of production is beneficial. According to the business plan, the production of plastic bags will go to zero in a year of active work. The business requires considerable costs, but the financial return is very decent.

Production of plastic bags to order
There are two types of plastic bags:
- HDPE bags (bags made of low pressure polyethylene) - such bags are often used by grocery stores, these can be packing bags and T-shirt bags, they are very roomy, have a high load capacity and strength. They are made from environmentally friendly raw materials, so HDPE bags are used for packaging and freezing products, without losing physical properties this product. Features: matte, rough, rustling.
- LDPE bags (High Density Polyethylene bags) - this bag is more dense, elastic and smooth. Such bags are often used at exhibitions, festivals, conferences, etc. PVD packages have a more presentable appearance than HDPE packages.
Printing on plastic bags
