Paper Bag Making Machine

Carry bags have become a more convenient way to carry daily necessities. Most of carry bags found which are made of plastics. Plastic packs are one of the most exceedingly bad and most pointless plastic polluters of the earth. Despite of all known hazards of plastic pollution, Plastic bags are used on a large scale by retailers for a simple reason that plastic bags are much cheaper than paper, cloth or other eco-friendly bags. The project aims at designing a model of paper bag manufacturing unit which will manufacture paper bags from newspapers. Newspapers which people read daily, becomes almost useless on the next day. These newspapers are used as raw material for this manufacturing unit. The paper bags are designed by taking into consideration it is cost, load carrying capacity and aesthetics. These bags are tested for standard conditions and were found to have enough strength to replace 20-micron plastic bags. This project is based on reuse of newspapers instead of any recycled papers. It also aims on reducing the time required for manufacturing newspaper bags manually, so as to decrease the cost of bags. Project is semi-automated so that mass production of bags can be achieved, so as to make its production cost comparable to plastic bags and inherently increase its production rate so as to fulfill the ever-increasing demand in India.
