Russian production of plastic toys

In the 2020 catalog, the list contains 20 Russian factories. The companies produce and sell wholesale. Prices are up to 70% cheaper than imports. Popular brands on the Russian market:

  • "Nordplast"
  • "Stellar"
  • "Novokuznetsk Plastics Plant"
  • JSC "Plastmaster"
  • "Ogonyok" etc.

Plastic toys are confidently replacing wooden ones. Children are offered sand sets, functional construction sets, models, pyramids, cars, dolls and other game modules and items. Industrial enterprises are expanding their range of products, modernizing equipment, and mastering new technologies and materials.

The production of plastic children's goods uses polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene. Children's collections of educational games made of plastic are constantly updated. The business is profitable - production in the country grows annually by up to 10%. Products are sold wholesale and through online stores and company websites.

Manufacturers invite dealers, wholesale buyers, and suppliers to cooperate. Addresses and telephone numbers are available in the “Contacts” tab. Delivery - Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg, federal regions, CIS. To buy products in bulk, download the price list - contact the manager.

For the production of more than 30% of all products made from polymers, such a common method as plastic injection molding is used. It allows you to obtain a very wide range of products that find their application in a wide variety of fields.

Plastic injection molding refers to the process of injecting a polymer alloy into a special mold. After this, the workpiece is cooled. Special powders with thermosetting properties, as well as thermoplastic granules, are used as raw materials for such production. Moreover, the first type of material can be used only once - irreversible changes occur in it during the casting process. The second one is quite suitable for further processing, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of products made from such “used” plastic.

Modern high-quality equipment makes it possible to make the casting process fully automated, but do not forget that the technology itself is quite complex and requires constant monitoring at each stage of production. In addition, devices that carry out injection molding of plastics are characterized by a fairly high cost, and also require sufficient qualifications of the craftsmen working with them.

Due to the above reasons, plastic molding is usually carried out on a production scale, since if there are only small volumes of orders, the purchase of such devices simply will not pay off. However, sometimes businesses need plastic parts or other custom products. In this case, our company will come to the rescue, because we perform plastic injection molding to order, and we do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. We will produce the required batch of products for you, while ensuring that all the subtleties of the casting process will be observed.

Production of plastic products: plastic characteristics + material classification + market analysis + opening instructions + premises requirements + 3 types of raw materials + 10 suppliers + technological process features + equipment + product sales + start-up investments.

Experts consider the production of plastic products to be one of the priority areas of business. It has enormous potential and prospects, since Russian enterprises do not fully provide the country with finished products.

Basically, plastic goods are bought from the Middle Kingdom or Europe. Based on this, the question arises: does it make sense to open an enterprise for the production of objects from this material or not? How much money will you need? What organizational issues will have to be resolved?

Let's figure it out in order.

What do you need to know to produce plastic products?

First you need to understand what an entrepreneur will have to deal with if he decides to produce plastic products.

Before delving into the technology and assortment, you should get acquainted with the subject of work, i.e. with plastic mass.

Plastic (plastic) is a material that is created using natural or synthetic polymers. A remarkable thing about plastic is that it can retain its specified dimensions and shape after cooling.

For various purposes, in the production of plastic materials, fillers, pigments, inorganic fibers and other components can be added to the polymer. Therefore, most plastics are a multicomponent mixture.

Such products are widely used in all areas.

Plastic materials are not known for their high density and strength. Heating and compression have a destructive effect on it. But the material also has many positive properties. For example, it has low thermal and electrical conductivity. Plastic products are also not afraid of moisture.

The following properties of plastic are also distinguished:

  • a light weight;
  • resistance to strong acids, corrosion;
  • amenability to processing;
  • low cost;
  • frost resistance;
  • insensitivity to shocks.

The plastic substance can be of various types. It is classified depending on its composition, area of ​​application, and binding component.

An entrepreneur whose production is in one way or another connected with plastic should know that its waste does not decompose over time. Therefore, large volumes of landfills are formed on Earth.

There are 5 garbage patches in the World Ocean due to plastic waste, which poses a danger to the environment as a whole. Due to the mass production of plastic items, nature, marine animals and those living on land are dying.

Plastic products also pose a threat to human health. During the production process, toxic gases are released, which can spread over long distances and fall in the form of precipitation, causing harm to vegetation and polluting water and soil.

When engaged in the production of plastics, an entrepreneur must
control the content of vinyl chloride in the air above the enterprise.

Before products are introduced into industry, the food industry, or medicine, an examination is carried out regarding the composition of toxic substances.

If possible, the manufacturer should either label them to prevent consumers from disposing of plastic products by incineration.

1. What plastic products can be produced?

The number of products made from plastic substances today is very large. There is a huge variety of their types - different shapes, dimensions, capacity and purpose.

Plastic is used widely in the automotive industry. This allows you to achieve comfort, save weight and even fuel, reduce noise, increase safety and service life, and reduce operating costs.

You can find up to 100 kg of plastic parts in a car! In addition to the automotive industry, the production of plastic products is beneficial for modern architecture and construction, and medicine. In general, for almost all industries.

Plastic products serve as the basis for the manufacture of suspended ceilings, pipes, floor coverings, window profiles, electrical tape, and tarpaulins.

Plastic is also needed to create:

  • bottles,
  • packaging,
  • covers,
  • blisters,
  • oilcloths,
  • detergents,
  • packages,
  • dishes,
  • children's toys,
  • furniture,
  • spare parts

Most items for the garden and home, as well as consumer products, are plastic products (buckets, scoops, trash cans, toiletries).

That's not all. You can set up production:

  • pet supplies (trays, portable baskets for dogs and cats, bowls);
  • canisters, basins;
  • packing handles;
  • fan heaters, housings for equipment;
  • pumps, bottles;
  • food containers, drying racks;
  • flowerpots, flower pots;
  • cutting boards and other kitchen paraphernalia.

As you can see, the choice is huge. If products are metalized during production, the list of products will be even longer.

2. Is it worth starting a production of plastic products?

The domestic market for plastic products is developing, and this is facilitated by:

  1. Active import substitution policy.
  2. Expansion of the “range” of polymers.
  3. Availability of capacity.

But there are also factors that hinder the development of the industry. Thus, the production of plastic products is subject to a considerable tax, the equipment and raw materials are expensive, there is an oligopoly on the market, and there is a shortage of Russian-made polymers.

Over the past years, there has been a positive growth trend in the production of plastic materials:

More than 5 million tons of plastics are produced annually. Compared to Europe, Russia consumes 6 times less plastic products. There is at least 42 kg per person.

Polymer production increased by 37% and consumption by 6%, while imports decreased by 25%. The market for products made from plastic raw materials shrank by 5.7% - specifically for pipes and film.

More than 200 thousand workers are employed in this industry; more than 6.5 thousand companies are involved in production. Output per person is less than 26 tons.

The main areas of application of plastic materials in Russia are:

  • package,
  • construction,
  • Automotive industry.

There are more than 1.4 thousand especially large enterprises producing plastic products in the village. They provide the country with 1.6 million tons of products. Their list includes Poliplastik, Kopeysky Plastics Plant, Lada List, PZPI, Rosturplast, Polimerbyt, Pro Aqua, LPZ.

Medium and small manufacturers include more than 2.5 thousand companies, whose production volumes reach 3 million tons of plastic products.

Namely:

  • ZPI Alternative (Bashkortostan);
  • Maxiplast (Golitsino);
  • Mplast (St. Petersburg);
  • Plastics SPb (St. Petersburg);
  • Poliplast (Izhevsk);
  • Triton Plastic (Moscow);
  • NZP (Kemerovo region);
  • Polymer (Lipetsk);
  • Aelita (Leningrad region);
  • Apal (Tolyatti);
  • NZPM (Tver region).

Experts give not entirely reassuring forecasts regarding the production of plastic goods:

  • Firstly, this is an increase in consumer prices by no less than 14%.
  • Secondly, a 17% decrease in purchasing power is expected.

From this we can conclude that the development of the production of plastic products will be restrained by rising prices for raw materials, falling consumption levels and other factors.

As a result, the volume of the plastic products market will decrease by 5%. But the situation is not critical. The engine of production will be export and import substitution.

In order for an entrepreneur to strengthen his position, it is necessary to reduce the cost of plastic products and strengthen competitive advantages.

Step-by-step instructions for starting a plastic products production

Let’s immediately note that the focus will continue on small businesses.

Anyone who has decided to produce plastic products, has analyzed the market, all the pros and cons of polymer production, should write a business plan. Not a single serious enterprise or event can do without a clear action program that structures all the information needed in the future and sets the right direction.

To legally conduct business, you will need official registration and the choice of a taxation system. Suitable for a small enterprise producing plastic products. OKVED codes are indicated depending on the product being manufactured.

The production of products is impossible without obtaining permits. Products must be certified. Conclusions will be required from the fire service and SES. Permission must also be obtained from local authorities, Gosnadzorohrantrud, electricians, gas inspectors and thermal workers.

If the business owner is skilled, the time and money spent will be reduced. Usually everything takes up to 3 months. Next, you need to decide on the nomenclature. A detailed study of the plastic products market will help with this.

Research your competitors' activities thoroughly. To choose the right type of plastic products for production, you need to look at what they produce. It would be advisable to manufacture products that competitors offer on the market in small quantities (if demand outstrips supply).

During the analysis, you will understand: maybe it is worth establishing the production of those plastic products that are not produced at all by domestic enterprises, but also in Europe.

A win-win option would be production:

  • sheets,
  • pipes of different sizes,
  • panels,
  • disposable tableware,
  • containers,
  • packaging.

Plastic trays necessary for packaging chicken meat are also considered in demand.

Once the production of plastic products is established, increasing profits will be a top priority. It is carried out by improving the technological process, optimizing costs, expanding the range and distribution channels.

Focus on deliveries to other regions and cities.

1) What kind of premises are required for the production of plastic products?

A workshop for the production of plastic products must have standard communications (heating, ventilation, drainage, water supply, electricity). Special requirements apply to those premises where pentane is used in the production process.

When searching for a suitable facility, you should select options located in industrial areas. The production of plastic products can also be located on the outskirts of the city, away from residential areas.

Area size – from 40 to 200 sq. m. We need a large warehouse. Plastic products are light in weight, but they take up a lot of space. The room must be protected from moisture, dust, drafts and wind. In a dry, heated building, the quality of plastic products will improve, because... less moisture is adsorbed.

In addition to areas for storage of finished products and raw materials, the premises should have:

  • bathroom,
  • room for working staff and administration.

2) Raw materials used in the production of plastic products.

The choice of raw materials is a very important stage in production. It is necessary to make enough efforts to find a good supplier with optimal prices and high quality polymer.

If you constantly change contractors and raw materials, the output products will not be the same. We will have to re-adjust the equipment and re-develop the technology for producing plastic products.

Typically, polymer granules of heterogeneous composition are purchased. Depending on the type of plastic product, the composition of raw materials is selected, because each type has its own physical and chemical properties.

The main indicator that you need to pay attention to is the resistance of the plastic to various temperatures.

Conventionally, there are 3 types of raw materials:

Depending on the purpose of the plastic product, you can use polyvinyl chloride, PE, PET, polycarbonate, APB, polystyrene, etc. Polymers are supplied not only domestic, but also imported.

Previously, the following prices were relevant:

  • high-quality polyethylene - from 56 rubles. for 1 kg;
  • polypropylene – from 50 rub.

In addition to the main raw materials, the production of products will require modifying additives and dyes.

Among domestic suppliers, supply contracts can be concluded with:

  • Stavrolen is one of the large chemical plants, producing more than 400 thousand tons of polymer raw materials using modern technology.
  • PolyTer is a company that supplies granulated polypropylene to the market from manufacturing plants Ufaorgsintez and the Turkmenbashi refinery complex.
  • Centropolymer is a leading distributor of polymers, additives and dyes.
  • NPP Neftekhimiya is an enterprise engaged in the production of Rispol (branded polypropylene) and other brands of granulated raw materials.
  • Tobolsk-Polymer is the third largest polypropylene production enterprise in the world, which synthesizes about 500 thousand tons of material every year.
  • Unitrade is a company that arranges the supply of polymer of the required grade and quality for the production of various plastic products.
  • Tomskneftekhim is a production site that supplies Russia with more than 30 brands of polypropylene raw materials.
  • Koros - specializes in the supply of polymer materials and engineering plastics from any country in the world.
  • Polyom is a company that produces over 90 brands (180 thousand tons) of material.
  • Kartli - organizes complex cargo transportation of polymer and other petroleum products, purchase in installments is possible.

3) What technology is used to produce plastic goods?

The choice of technology is influenced by the type of products the entrepreneur plans to produce.

To produce bottles, vials, flasks, they resort to extrusion method. The production of plastic blisters, cups, and packaging is achieved through vacuum forming. Most often, work is carried out using the method blowing and casting(toys, bottles, etc.)

But there are other technological methods:

The casting algorithm takes the form:

First mix all the ingredients. If a homogeneous mass is obtained, gas under pressure is introduced mechanically by foaming. Gas filling of raw materials is also carried out by introducing additives into heated plastic, which at the desired speed lead to boiling.

When the mass is brought to the required consistency (a state of flexibility and elasticity), they begin to create a matrix form. The model is made of aluminum, fiberglass, resins in accordance with the required shape and size of the products.

If the production of plastic products is small-scale, use composite molds; for large-scale production, aluminum matrices will do.

Then they move on to the actual education and refinement:

4) Workshop equipment: equipment for the production of plastic products.

The production process requires special equipment. For this purpose, they use separate machines or buy automatic lines.

Depending on the type of plastic products and technological method, these types of products are purchased.

a) Extruders.

These are machines that produce profiles for windows, plastic pipes, hoses, sheet film, etc.

Flat slot units consist of elements:

b) Injection molding machines.

They are machines that are used in the process of molding plastic mixtures under pressure. With their help, the mass is poured into the matrix, after which it is cooled. This is how one-piece products are made.

On the planet, about 75% of all plastic products are produced from such plants. Injection molding machines make it possible to produce products of complex shapes, hollow, multi-colored, reinforced, and hybrid.

The structure consists of:

Such equipment for the production of plastic products is expensive and has various innovative solutions. It comes in several types.

c) Blow molding machines.

Suitable for enterprises producing canisters, large bottles, barrels, and other hollow containers of large volume and with thin walls. The device heats the plastic material to a certain temperature and then blows it into the desired shape.

d) For the production of PET.

To produce PET containers, you need to purchase injection-blow units that combine 2 methods, for example, extrusion-blow mechanisms.

These machines produce a variety of plastic products: tanks, buckets, packaging for dairy products, ketchups and sauces, bumpers, toys, bottles.

The production process is controlled by a microprocessor.

The machine structure contains:

e) Thermoforming machines.

Equipment designed for the production of products, the raw material of which is film of various thicknesses. Typically, a thermoforming machine is used in the production of cups and plastic containers.

They can be controlled manually or set to automatic/semi-automatic.

There are different types of machines:

  • tape,
  • single-position,
  • rotary, etc.

The main mechanisms are listed above, but additional devices are used to facilitate the production process.

For example:

  • loaders, conveyors;
  • dryers, mixers;
  • crushers, conveyors;
  • refrigeration units (chillers), etc.

If you are going to produce small plastic items in small quantities, a mini-machine weighing up to 15 kg would be the best option. Some models even come with a table.

Extrusion lines controlled by special programs can be bought in China. They quickly pay for themselves, are cheaper than their European counterparts, operate uninterruptedly, are easy to maintain, and have safety certificates. Production facilities are also often provided with domestic equipment.

5) Personnel policy at an enterprise producing plastic products.

The workshop will require 2-10 workers. The number of employees will be influenced by the purchased equipment (if it is an automatic line, fewer people are needed). The scale of production is also an influencing factor.

Be sure to hire a technologist who will be the main part of the staff. That's why his salary is higher. In addition, the production of plastic products requires an administrative department, a sales manager, and an accountant.

It is also necessary to establish logistics. And for this you need: a driver, general workers for loading and unloading, and a vehicle. The duration of one shift is 10 hours.

6) Features of the sale of plastic products: sales and advertising policies.

To sell plastic products, it is better to use various distribution channels. However, first think about how you will advertise the products. If your budget allows, place ads on radio and media.

Spare no expense to create your own website. All serious companies have web resources on the Internet to attract as many customers as possible. This makes it possible to place orders online, which is also beneficial for entrepreneurs.

Someone needs to be assigned to monitor the content of the site. Therefore, you will have to hire one or two more people who will publish new content, interesting articles on the site, accept and process orders.

Organize the distribution of leaflets with contacts of your plastic products manufacturing company. You can offer products to various retail outlets, construction sites, and department stores.

Everything will depend on the type of product. If you plan to produce plastic toys, you need to sell goods to children's stores. As you expand, include special offers, promotions, etc. in your sales policy. Events.

It is better to work directly with the consumer or through a one-level sales channel. If you use multi-level distribution channels, the final price will be high for the buyer and he will most likely not purchase your products.

When a product promotion system is developed in advance, problems with product sales rarely arise.

Description of equipment from China.

7) Start-up investments required for the production of plastic products.

It is impossible to depict an accurate financial plan without knowing the nomenclature and production volumes of plastic products. Therefore, we will give some excerpts based on real examples.

Profitability can reach 20-30%. Economic benefits are generated depending on the products that are produced, their cost and selling price.

Cost items will be:

  • rental and renovation of premises;
  • utilities;
  • purchase of raw materials and equipment;
  • wage fund;
  • fare;
  • tax payments;
  • advertising and sales costs;
  • registration costs;
  • unexpected costs.

Equipment can cost 1-3 million rubles. For 1 ton of plastic material you will have to pay 60 thousand rubles. Imported brands are priced more expensive (80-150 thousand rubles). You also need to take into account the cost of additives (330-450 rubles per 1 kg). At least 300 thousand rubles should be allocated for salaries.

For the production of buckets and similar plastic products, 3 million rubles will be enough. Organizing the production of plastic children's toys requires an initial investment of about 5 million rubles. To make disposable tableware you need to have at least 8 million rubles.

With a competent approach to organizing production and sales, monthly income should be about 500 thousand rubles. The investment will pay off in 1-2 years.

The production of plastic products should be opened with an adequate assessment of one’s own capabilities. This intention has undeniable advantages, but also disadvantages. Therefore, before starting such a business, carefully weigh the pros and cons.
