Polythene shopping bags have vast domestic and commercial uses: they are used for
shopping, wrapping of bread, popcorn, exercise books, food items, pure water and a
multitude of other products. Because of their cheap nature, these bags are used frequently
and discarded thereby giving them very high repurchase ratios. For example, once a
shopping bag is used to carry meat or shrimps, it is discarded after use. Authoritative
industry sources indicate that annual consumption of polythene bags in Nigeria is well
over 300 million tons (domestic and commercial use only). Opportunities abound for
small scale businessmen and women to choose profitable niches in the shopping bag
market and play deep there-in. From the supply side of the market, it is important to note
that there is no clear market leader because of entry requirements. Prospective investors
should also explore the possibility of producing customized bags for big clients like
supermarkets.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The plant under consideration is a small scale plant capable of producing a very wide
range of polythene bags. On a single shift of 8 hours per day, the plant is capable of
producing 3,000 polythene bags daily. Working on three shifts of 8 hours each per day,
the plant can produce 3,285,000 bags of different shapes, designs and sizes per annum.
However, this write up assumes 2 shifts of 8 hours each per day and 300 working days in
a year. The core equipment required includes the shopping bag making machine, moulds,
hydraulic perforator. Basic raw materials for polythene are available locally and in very
large quantities. The manufacturing process is based on thermal transfer using double ply
polythene introduced from an adjustable roller into a thermal diagonal lane where cutting
and sealing takes place. Sealing temperature can be controlled and varied by the use of
temperature control.
