What are different types of paper bags used in market:

There are different types of paper bags used in market, below are the different types

1. Medicine and bakery v bottom covers – which are used in pharma, hospital, bakery industry

Which market sector plays major role on using paper bags

Let’s divide our market sector by walk in of consumer monthly wise

Pharmacy, hospital industry – Peak walk in of consumer monthly

Grocery shops – Peak walk in of consumer monthly

Restaurants, sweet shops, bakery – Peak walk in of consumer by swiggy or zomoto etc.

Textile shops – Average walk in monthly, only peak at festival season

Mobile shops – Medium walk in monthly, but high value product

Jewellery shops – Medium walk in monthly, but high value product

As per our analysis

Jewellery shops, mobile shops and premium textile shops – will have medium walk in and they require premium paper bags as medium quantity per month

Textile shops, restaurants, grocery shops, sweet shops, bakery – will have peak walk in and they require disposable and eco friendly bags which should not burden their packaging

Medicine covers – will have peak walk in, though it is competitive because it’s paper cover since 1982

So our target market sector with peak consumption of paper bags every month is textile shops, restaurants, grocery shops, sweet shops, bakery, similar to all these industry

What our consumers or retail shop owners perception about paper bags

We need to adopt eco friendly packaging because one use plastic ban is world movement, so we are surfing for what western countries using as paper bags on above market sectors and we are trying the same in our developing countries

We need to understand the consumer(retail shop owners) perception before getting in to this paper bag making business

Let’s see an example if a multinational company launches a product in developing countries, how they will fix price and quantity of product

When pepsi or cocacola entered in to developing countries market they started with least price bottled packaging

When Nokia mobile phone is peak in developing countries, when they didn’t accept the android development, samsung introduced with android with affordable price in developing countries

Simple understanding is 

If we make beauty cream or hair oil, we need to make 500 ml package, 200 ml package, and 10 ml package, this is the core idea for doing business in developing countries

Like wise whatever new product arises it should be analysed as per consumer perception in quality, price etc.

Now let’s see the perception of retail shop owner

Retail shop owner: some consumers will bill for ₹100, some will bill for ₹500, some will bill for ₹2000, some will bill for ₹5000, Do you have paper bag packaging solution for these type selling?

Paper bag manufacturer: How this will happen? we need to provide different sizes as solution? can all be done in one step solution?

What is ISOS paper covers, why we need to introduce something new

To above perception of retail shop owners, let’s develop a unique solution for developing countries

We introduce ISOS paper covers and ISOS paper bags with handle, ISOS – Indian self opening sacks, founded by V. Shirodhkar, managing director of Feather Touch Tissues and it’s team.

SOS paper cover – which was invented by American inventor  Charles slide still 

SOS paper cover advantage – square bottom which is stand still after keeping object in bag

ISOS paper cover advantage – V bottom, with larger gusset is like stand still after keeping object in same bag

The invention of ISOS paper cover and bag is to reduce the cost of paper bag, example : we are practiced by carrying handle made bags, we can provide ISOS paper bags with handles with same price of SOS covers without handle

The idea is to increase the volume of space in paper bags with reduced cost of paper bag with user friendliness to consumer to carry
