Paper Bags Business: How to Start Eco Friendly Paper Bags Company

Question: I am from Virginia, and I would like to request you to kindly send me detail information to start small scale business in the field of Paper Bags Industry.

  • Surf Washing Powered industry and Edible Oil industry
  • What’s the procedure to start and full detail of Machinery, Govt.Formalities, Raw Material and Costing?

Answer: If I breakdown your question, you have asked that

  • “What is the procedure for starting (chemical) FMCG”? There are many procedures and it defers with the products. As you mentioned in paper bags’ production, you can get government help because it is an eco friendly product. For washing powder and other stuff, you need to search details separately.
  • For cost of production and expected earnings, you have to read the annual reports of such companies and you have to sit and calculate different possibilities. In every business, before starting and investing, people prepare a cost sheet for different possibilities to get proper idea of future earning.
  • These are some ground works you have to do if you want to know everything in detail. So at the time work upon the guidelines I have given, and if you have any further question, you can ask questions.

    Hi

    I am Murali Krishna, from Andhra Pradesh, India. I have been working as a Software Engineer. I would like to start a small business. I have two options in my mind. 1. Paper bags 2. Medical transcription outsourcing

    1. Paper bags: Today in a newspaper they have provided a list of 30 small scale industries with annual production and investment. So I discuess with my friends and selected Paper bags, which is less investment (4 Lakhs). So I tried to get more info from internet. I got both positive and negative (more costly compared to plastic bags and paper bags would turn bad if it get wet etc etc). Could you please give me more info on this and also the steps to initiate the process.

    2. Medical Transcription: I have heard about this and also red in news paper that this has good scope and growth in future. I know two of my relatives have been working in this field for a long time. I can contact them and get more information, meanwhile could you please provide the approximate budget to start this company.

    I really appreciate your quick response…

    Mr. Murli Krishna,
    It is great that you are doing this much research for your business plans. The details which your relatives provided are correct, I would advise you to do SWOT analysis of both the business plans. It will include Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats etc.
    Once you do this, you will be clear about most of the aspects of these businesses.
    Both the options are nice and creative. It is still a market with less competitors comparing to the other options.
    If you need any more guidance, you can definitely ask your questions here.
    Thank you.

    Ms. Suparna,
    First of all you should search the process. Then search about plans, market, demand, government. Then you have to consider the cost and decide that is it possible for you to start it?
    If yes then you should make arrangements for t he place and machinery. The market research includes the raw materials, customers, suppliers etc.
    Then contact these people and you can run your business easily.

    Mr. Parimal,
    This business will take time to rock but it wil definitely rock in near future.
    The factors affecting this business are
    1. Cultural – It will take time to remove the plastic bags’ cultural

    2. Social – Our society is not as aware as it should be. Bus it is a part of some affecting factors to your business.

    3, Legal – This is showing some positive signs. It is in favor of the business.

    Once you launch with future planning of the business, it has to work.
    Thank you.

    Mr. Uman,
    I am not much aware of that place. Some things are same in every business.For machinery, you can approach a local networking media or yellow pages’ service.
    As far as loan is concerned, loan is not that easy. You have to prepare a project report and present it to along with security papers.
    I don’t think that this business will do well in less popularized place.
    Thank you.

    I really appreciate the way you reply to the questions.

    I am from MA, and start to a paper bag business. Recently here the government had banned the entire plastic bag so I think that it give an ample opportunity for business.

    I did a lot of research, on net about the machine and also have made a project report on that. But my concern is that I am not able to determine the per unit bag cost.

    How I should determine the cost nor do I know type of paper it required and who the suppliers are. How the marketing of bags should be done ?

    Mr. Arora,
    Himachal Pradesh is definitely a nice place to market your products. If you are in doubt, then you should do SWOT analysis of the plan. because obviously you must be knowing the place better than me.
