1 IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN TTOO SSMMEEDDAA
Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with theobjective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressiveSME support program.
Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME developmentapproach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depthresearch was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated afteridentification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral developmentstrategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking intoconsideration other important aspects including finance, marketing, technology and humanresource development.
SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits andvegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear,
textiles, surgical instruments, transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME developmentat a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’sareas of operation.
Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is alsooffered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable businessopportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents. These documents consist of information required to makewell-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plandevelopment are some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEsto exploit viable business opportunities in a better way.
This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to makewell-informed investment decisions.

Before making the decision, whether to invest in the corrugated packaging business or not,one should carefully analyze the associated risk factors. A SWOT analysis can help inanalyzing these factors which can play important role in making the decision.
3.1 Strengths
Corrugated packages provide efficient and convenient unit for marketing of the product.
They allow weighing of produce as well as handling and transport to beaccomplished in fewer steps.
When compared with wooden crates, corrugated boxes are light to carry and are preferred by air freight companies.
They are recyclable unlike non-recyclable packaging that has to be burnt at the endof its life.
3.2 Weaknesses
Corrugated packages are not reusable.
They cannot be produced economically on a small scale. Cost of labour for each batch and cost of overheads keep on decreasing with the increasing production.
They are easily damaged by water and rough handling unless impregnated withwax at extra cost.
They offer most practical and economic choice for packaging but availability ofsuitable designs at the right price remains the greatest challenge to improvements.
3.3 Opportunities
Corrugated packages allow for easy printing of labels and can be manufactured to awide range of sizes, shapes and strength specifications.
Manufacturing sector of Pakistan showed a record growth of 12.6% in the year2003-2004, which in turn increases the demand for packaging facilities as well.
3.4 Threats
Innovations in the packing industry like plastic crates, plastic bags etc. may affectthe market demand for corrugated packages.
4 PPRROOJJEECCTT PPRROOFFIILLEE
4.1 Opportunity Rationale
Corrugated Packaging is visible wherever goods are produced, transported and displayed.Since its invention years ago, corrugated packaging has ensured efficient safe and sanitarytransit of goods, protecting and wrapping about 70% of the world’s liquid and solid materials from producer to consumer.

In Pakistan, the demand for corrugated packages is increasing, as the growth in themanufacturing industry touched a level of 12.6 %1 last year Corrugated packaging protectsthe product during storage, transportation and handling. Thus the package, by virtue of its protective function-becomes a vital link in the distribution chain. Also corrugated cartonsoffer the most practical and economic choice for packaging for inter island trade.
Product range includes consumer packages, food and non food-packages, transport packages.
4.2 Project Brief
The proposed project will be producing corrugated packages. Corrugated packages are paperboard made from one or more plies of fluted paper, which is glued onto, paper orcardboard. The said business will be producing 7-ply corrugated sheets.
Different sizes of boxes will be produced to facilitate the customers nationwide. The proposed business will be manufacturing corrugated boxes for meeting the local demand.
4.3 Market Entry TimingCorrugated Packages are used in so many different sectors that the demand never getsaffected with seasons, changing trends and emerging attributes. So the proposed businesscan be started at any time of the year.
At the commencement of the proposed business, it is important that the entrepreneur musthave good public relations in the market and should have some orders in hand.
4.4 Project Capacity and Rationale
The proposed corrugated packaging facility will handle 5000 boxes per day of proposedsizes in 8 hours shift. Details are given in the following table.

7 7 ..6 6 ..22 W W aasst t ee M M aar r ggiinn
Wastage is a common feature for corrugated packages business. It is estimated that 1% ofthe total production goes into waste. But as the wastage occurs during the production process, it is generally charged to the client. The wastage on the other hand is sold as scrap by the manufacturer at the rate of Rs.8.00 per kg.
7 7 ..6 6 ..33 M M aa j joor r S S uu p p p plliieer r ss oo f f R Raaww M M aat t eer r iiaall
The raw materials are easily available in Lahore and other major cities. Some of thesuppliers in Lahore are having their sales point on Bund road and Gunpat road.
7.7 Sales Price
It is generally observed in the corrugated packages business that the sales price is fixed25% above the cost of raw material consumed for the proposed box size. This 25%includes the profit margins, cost of pasting fluids and printing costs.
On the other hand, cost of printing is approximately Rs.1 per box and pasting fluids are
available at the rate of Rs.6 per kilogram. Consumption of pasting fluids depends upon thesize of the box.
This particular pre-feasibility assumes that the sales prices are 25% above the cost of rawmaterial which include the costs of printing and pasting fluids.

The locally manufactured machinery is comparable to the imported machinery in terms of production and quality of the output, whereas price wise, local machinery has an edge overimported machinery. Some of the corrugation machinery manufacturers are listed below:
Chughtai Engineering Works, Lahore
Prime Tech International, Lahore
Sama Engineering works, KarachiThe above mentioned suppliers also export the corrugated packaging machinery toTashkent and South Africa, which proves the fact that local machinery is comparable tointernational standards.
8.1 Machinery & Equipment Requirement
The major cost involved in establishing a well-equipped corrugated packaging facility is primarily the cost of plant and machinery. Basically there are three types of machineriesavailable in the market, which are as follows:
TTaabbllee 88--11 MMaacchhiinneerryy TTyyppeess
Machine type Estimated Cost of Plant
Semi automated corrugation plant Rs. 1.9 million
Fully automated corrugation plant Rs. 8 million
Production capacity for the three types varies. Fully automated machinery employs lesserlabor and gives the highest production but as the proposed business will be order based, itis recommended that initially it should concentrate on capturing the market while keepingthe project costs at lower end therefore the proposed project will be operating on manuallyoperated corrugation machine.
There is a huge difference in the costs of the three types of machineries. As the total project cost is directly related with the cost of machinery, the proposed project will beusing manually operated corrugation machine set.
Manually operated corrugation machine set comprises of 9 machines to form a completecorrugated setup.
Details of required machinery are shown in the table below:

8.2 Repair & Maintenance
A regular inspection is imperative for the smooth running of machines. The maintenancecost can be suppressed by these regular checkups. However, maintenance will be requiredto ensure its long life and better output.
Annual repair & maintenance of the plant and machinery is estimated to be 1 % of the totalmachinery cost in the initial year and this rate is expected to grow at 0.05% in the proceeding years.
Spare parts i.e. Rollers, Bearings and Cutter Blade are easily available from the suppliersof the machinery.
