Air bubble sheet making with other allied products is a profitable venture in the packaging industry. Apart from the sheet, you can make air bubble roll, air bubble bags, and air bubble films according to your client’s requirement. Air Bubble Wrap Sheets, a flexible and transparent plastic sheeting containing numerous small air pockets. The sheets offer cushioning and scratch protection far superior to packing paper and are used to protect items during shipping and storage. Air bubble polyethylene film is preferred over expanded polystyrene because it is cost effective. The resiliency of air bubble film is much higher than expanded polystyrene and ultimate volume of the package is much lower if air bubble film is used. It is most suitable for packaging of light fragile items, sophisticated electronic goods, calculators etc. Air bubble wrap is lightweight, water resistant, reusable on scratching and is used for packing fragile items. It can be used to cushion medium to heavy weight products.
Air bubble film is a two-layer laminated low-density polyethylene film with entrapped air inside, between the two layers in bubble form in some orderly fashion. Air bubbles render cushioning effect. The bubbles may be of different sizes. The size of bubble and thickness of film is decided depending upon the end use the type and weight of content to be packed.
AIR BUBBLE SHEET MAKING – BENEFITS & USAGE
Air bubble sheets are considered effective wrapping material in electronic, electrical, glassware, machinery, automobile spare parts, and many more industries. Air bubble sheet line material is soft in texture and the bubble like protruding features protect the products from scratch and damages during various packaging and shipping processes. Air bubble sheet plant is an affordable investment for producing safe stuffing material for brittle as well as heavy products. Air bubble sheet machine can produce sheets of various dimensions and length.
Some of the very effective and beneficial feature of air bubble sheet are:
● Excellent water resistance
● Atmospheric resistance
● High dielectric properties.
● Resistance to termite and white ant.
● Easy and economical packaging process.
● Very high shock absorption property.
● Resistant to most acid and alkalis for moderate duration.
● Light in weight, attractive look, printable, washable and heat sealable.
The major area of application may be segregated into the following fields.
● The packaging of fragile items likes crockery etc.
● Packaging of electronics and electricals items.
● Plastic machinery parts packaging.
● Precious antique packaging.
● Pharmaceutical bottles, vials packaging etc.
● Some special type of chemical packaging.
● Glassware, ceramic products and handicraft items packaging.
● Scientific instrument packaging
● Engineering and automobile spare parts packaging.
AIR BUBBLE SHEET MAKING – MARKET POTENTIAL
The demand generation of electronic goods in recent years has left a wide gap to fulfill the packaging need using air bubble film which has generated a good potential of the project for new entrepreneurs. Besides packaging applications, air bubble film is widely used in developed countries as swimming pool cover. Packaging industry in India has an estimated turnover of Rs. 11,500 crores, which is growing at the rate of 18 per cent annually. The changing pattern of the Indian Consumer behaviour directly affects the packaging industry as the direct expenditure incurred by companies to make the products attractively packaged is increasing day by day. The industry has a huge potential and it is growing at a rapid pace.
LICENSE & REGISTRATION FOR AIR BUBBLE SHEET MAKING
In starting air bubble sheet making business in india, you will need to register your company first with ROC. Obtain trade License. Apply for VAT registration. Air bubble sheet making does not discharge any harmful effluent. However, obtain ‘No Objection Certificate’ from state Pollution Control Board. You can protect your brand name by registering Trademark.
AIR BUBBLE SHEET MAKING MACHINES & RAW MATERIALS
In starting bubble sheet making business, you will need to install Polycell Bubble Sheet Making machine. With this automatic machine you will be able to produce air bubble sheets. Apart from this, you can also procure air bubble film extrusion line, air bubble film lamination line, air bubble film laminated line, air bubble film making line, air bubble film extrusion machine, air bubble film packge machine, air bubble film foil lamination machine etc. These are PE air bubble film extrusion line.
You will need to arrange LDPE granules as raw materials. In the manufacturing operation, you will need to have 373 KW. power supply approximately. Another utility item you will be required, is water. This is for colling system.
AIR BUBBLE SHEET MAKING PROCESS
LDPE granules fed into the hoppers of 100 mm and 75mm extruder respectively pass through the extruders, where they are melted, plasticised and forced through the 2 layer nips of T die. In the die two layers of LDPE sheets of required thickness are formed simultaneously.
These two layers are passed through two silicon synthetic cooling rollers where air bubbles are thermo formed over one roller and simultaneously it is laminated by forcing other layer by pressure.At this point, vacuum forming of bubble, cooling of outer surface of both layers and lamination of thermoformed layer on secondary layer occur simultaneously. Then the the formed layers are cooled and moved forward trimmed and finally to the winder through take off rollers and then to winder.
You can also make the bubble into 2 layer bubble film, 3 layers bubble film, 5 layers bubble film and other multi layer bubble film. Air bubble sheet making is also possible in different colours.
