Napkin Packaging Equipment

Napkin Packaging Equipment designed to automate the process of packaging and sealing.

Depending on the characteristics and brand of packaging equipment, several types of film are used.

• CPP and BOPP are produced on the basis of polypropylene. The optimal thickness is 20-25 microns.
• LDPE films made of polyethylene are used less often to equip equipment. This is due to the specifics of the manufacture of the material.

The most convenient form of packaging for napkins is a BOOP film bag. Packaging paper napkins in this way has several advantages:

• products retain their shape and do not tear during transportation,
• the buyer can evaluate the quality of the content,
• bottom pleat design increases pack capacity,
• It is easy to print on the film if desired.

Recently, polypropylene-based bags are increasingly used for packaging napkins and other paper products.

Napkins as a commodity are good because they are quickly consumed - this is a one-time item that no one can do without. The production of napkins always has a market, which implies a high income.

What profit can be expected from the production of paper napkins and how much money should be invested to start? The article will give a concise overview of the main issues and a business plan for this project.

Company registration

For a business project for the production of napkins, registration is required, as cooperation with wholesalers, supermarkets, cafes, canteens and other organizations is expected. For this reason, it is beneficial to register as an LLC, which costs about 20 thousand rubles. This will make it possible to conclude contracts with suppliers of raw materials and large wholesalers.

You also need to register with the tax office by selecting the OKVED code 21.22 and the appropriate taxation system. Favorable STS rates of 6% of income and 15% of income minus expenses.

After obtaining permits from the SES and the State Fire Supervision Authority, you can immediately begin work - a license for such production is not required.

Product range and distribution channels

Types of dry paper napkins:

• simple single-layer products without a pattern;
• multilayer napkins with a beautiful pattern for serving;
• handkerchiefs for personal hygiene.

Sales channels:

• market wholesalers, shops and supermarkets;
• cafes, pizzerias, restaurants, and other catering establishments;
• sanatoriums, recreation centers, kindergartens, schools and other places with catering facilities.

Wholesalers are interested in cheap goods, while some cafes and restaurants will order patterned napkins.

room

The production equipment does not take up much space: the length of the machine for making napkins is about 3 meters, and the width is 1 meter. Together with the packaging machine, the equipment needs an area of ​​20 m2 so that the worker can walk freely and perform his functions. In addition, you need a place for a warehouse where finished products of 15-20 m2 will be stored. For the entire production process, it is necessary to rent a room of 30-40 m2. The rental price is ≈ 6 thousand rubles.

Raw material

Raw materials or consumables for napkins are:

• base paper in rolls. Price ≈ 50 rubles per kg;
• polyethylene (polypropylene) for packaging;
• pipografskaya paint for drawing.

Paper for napkin production is special - it is a loose and porous base, which may differ in density and whiteness. The lowest price is from 35 rubles per kg, but the quality of the finished product will be low.

Equipment

To implement the project, it will be necessary to purchase special equipment for the production of napkins. These are automatic lines that form and cut four-fold napkins from special paper.

Napkin machines can not only fold a napkin, but also apply a pattern on it. Additionally, you will need a packaging machine that wraps a pack of napkins in polyethylene using the “envelope” method.

The end customer is in great demand for cheap large packs of napkins without logos. If you plan to work with restaurants and cafes, then it is better to purchase a napkin machine with embossing and drawing.

Many machines can produce both napkins and toilet paper.

Napkins are packed in two ways: automatically, i.e. on packaging machines and manually. For automatic napkin packaging The film is chosen depending on the brand of packaging equipment.

BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene films) are used for packing napkins with a thickness of up to 30 microns, but more often in order to save money it is 20-25 microns thick. On the roll, if necessary, put a photo mark, for reading on the equipment. We can apply up to 8 colors to BOPP film. The percentage of printing here is chosen by the customer. As a rule, the packaging for napkins with a pattern is not tightly sealed so that the pattern itself can be seen.

CPP (film made of cast polypropylene) for packing napkins use 25 microns. This is the most optimal thickness for custom polypropylene (both for printing and for packaging). CPP 20 µm is very stretchy during printing and packaging. We print up to 8 colors on cast polypropylene. Patterned napkin packaging is sealed minimally so that the pattern on the napkin can be seen. Packaging for white napkins can be sealed at the request of the customer up to 100%. With such a large area for printing the packaging, it is necessary to leave free margins for reading the photo mark. Also, when for napkins, it is necessary to take into account the geometry of the welds. With a high percentage of printing, there is a possibility that the ink will get on the parts of the packaging machine during the sealing of the film. This will significantly reduce the speed of packaging and may even disable the machine.

PVD films for packing napkins

High-density polyethylene films are used much less often, although equipment operating on LDPE films is also quite popular for packaging paper napkins. Here it is necessary to note the formulation of the film. Often this is linear (LDPE) polyethylene in its pure form or LDPE with additives of linear polyethylene. You can print such material up to 8 colors. All the printing rules described earlier for BOPP packaging and CPP films are relevant here.

Bags for packing napkins from BOOP film

The most popular packaging for napkins are, of course, bags. Film bags are often used to wrap paper napkins. The configuration of such polypropylene bags provides for the presence of a bottom fold. BOPP film bottom pleated bags create the shape needed to pack a thick pack of 50-100 paper napkins. The bottom fold in such packages opens up to the thickness of the pack and creates the necessary volume in the package. Printing on BOPP bags is possible on both sides of the bag (up to 8 colors).

The best organizational and legal form is LLC. This will make it easier to work with suppliers and buyers. When registering, select OKVED 17.22- "household and sanitary-hygienic purposes". The manufacturing process must be adjusted in accordance with GOST R52354-2005, since the main purpose of the product is hygiene.

Permits are required from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, Rospotrebnadzor, fire inspection. We focus on the production of products in packages of 50 or 100 pieces. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a packaging design and register your trademark with Rospatent.

Registration of documents and permits will require approximately 3-4 months and investments in the amount of 1800-2000 dollars.

room

To organize an enterprise, you need a room with an area of ​​200 square meters, divided into three parts: a workshop, a warehouse for raw materials and products, and household premises.

Mandatory requirements:

• Availability of hot and cold water;
• Ventilation and heating;
• Electrical network 380 V;
• Equipped in the floor drains to the sewer;
• The walls of the workshop are finished with tiles;
• Ceiling height from 3 meters.

Renting a building for a factory will cost approximately $ 1,500 per month. Repair, carrying out all necessary communications - another $ 1,000.

Technology for the production of paper napkins

The napkin itself goes through several stages:

1. Installing a roll of raw paper on a special machine.
2. With the help of a tape drive machine, the tape is unwound and folded;
3. The paper is passed through three-dimensional embossing rollers, where it is folded in half across;
4. The vertical knife cuts the tape into 4 parts, two lines of finished products are formed;
5. The finished product is packed on an automatic machine.

Equipment for the production of paper napkins

The workshop is equipped with a napkin making machine and a packing machine. Usually the machine is sold as a whole line, including an unwinding unit, a tape drive, a cutting knife. Packing equipment sold separately.

A standard paper napkin machine is designed to produce 400-600 items per minute, in one or two layers and with a density of 13-20 grams / square. m.

The cost of a new line of an inexpensive manufacturer is in the range of 5-6 thousand dollars. If you plan to make your product more interesting (colored, with a logo), you will have to pay several thousand more.

Machine tools from Turkey, China, Italy have a good reputation. Smaller firms prefer to manufacture products on Chinese machines, as they are cheaper and boast good productivity. But they consume a lot of electricity. The best brands in the domestic market:

• Stanprom;
• Omsk paper plant;
• Lad-M;
• OOO Osnova;
• Technoline.

A separate cost item for equipment is the purchase of a packaging machine for sealing products in polyethylene. A semi-automatic machine costs around $ 2300-2800. Popular manufacturers Lad-M, Solaris, Chinese Xinyuanda.

Raw materials for the production of paper napkins

Such a disposable product is made from cheap raw materials, namely, special paper obtained from a mixture of waste paper and cellulose. The main characteristics are thinness, softness and porosity to absorb moisture. You need to purchase paper grade "A" or "B". Depending on the quality, the price of raw materials ranges from $400-900 per ton.

Often companies selling equipment have their own workshop for the production of napkin bases, you can arrange supplies from them. It is easier and cheaper for a small firm to purchase raw materials in the CIS, and not abroad. Top companies:

1. OOO Osnova;
2. Technoline;
3. PALP Invest.

Staff

In addition to the manager, you need to hire four workers to work in two shifts, a sales manager, a cleaning lady, and a security guard. It is more profitable to outsource accounting calculations. The total minimum staff is 8 people. This is $ 3500-4000 for monthly salaries.

Sales

To ensure that products do not stay in stock, it is worth finding distribution channels before the launch of the workshop. In addition to shops and other points of sale of household chemicals and household goods, your customers can be:

• Catering establishments (cafes, restaurants, pizzerias);
• medical institutions;
• boarding houses;
• Kindergartens and schools;
• Decor studios, art studios.

Costs and profits

Capital investments for opening a business include paperwork, rent (for a month) and repair of premises, purchase and adjustment of equipment. At this stage, the company will spend about 12 thousand dollars. Monthly expenses (rent, wages, purchase of raw materials and utility bills) - about $ 7,000.

We calculate profitability based on the output of 500 units of goods per minute (5 packs). For two shifts per month, 100-105 thousand packages of paper napkins are produced. The product is sold at a wholesale price of $0.15 to $0.23 per pack. Monthly profit will be 15-16 thousand dollars, and net income - 8-9 thousand, subject to 100% sale.

It's easy to figure out how to use paper napkins. As a business, this is a profitable enterprise that does not require large investments and brings good profits.
