2. PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential
entrepreneurs in project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility
may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this
objective, the document / study covers various aspects of project concept
development, start-up, production, marketing, finance and business management.
The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in Injection
Molding Plastic Products business by providing them with a general
understanding of the business with the intention of supporting potential investors in
crucial investment decisions.
The need to come up with pre-feasibility reports for undocumented or minimally
documented sectors attains greater imminence as the research that precedes such
reports reveal certain thumb rules; best practices developed by existing enterprises
by trial and error, and certain industrial norms that become a guiding source
regarding various aspects of business set-up and it’s successful management.
Apart from carefully studying the whole document one must consider critical
aspects provided later on, which form the basis of any investment decision.
3. INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was
established in October 1998 with an objective to provide fresh impetus to the
economy through development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
With a mission "to assist in employment generation and value addition to the
national income, through development of the SME sector, by helping increase the
number, scale and competitiveness of SMEs" , SMEDA has carried out ‘sectoral
research’ to identify policy, access to finance, business development services,
strategic initiatives, institutional collaboration and networking initiatives.
Preparation and dissemination of prefeasibility studies in key areas of investment
has been a hallmark of SME facilitation by SMEDA.
Concurrent to the prefeasibility studies, a broad spectrum of business development
services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include
identification of experts and consultants and delivery of need based capacity
building programs of different types in addition to business guidance through help
desk services.

6. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND PRODUCT
Plastic is a common name for polymers that are materials made of long strings of
carbon and other elements. There are many different types of plastic, depending
on the starting monomer selected, the length of polymer chains, and the type of
modifying compounds added. The varied use of plastic in our everyday life has
made it an integral component in almost everything. Plastic is used in everyday
items like ballpoint pen, buckets, containers, glasses, water pipes, plastic bags to
items of engineering excellence like cars and airplanes. The per capita
consumption of plastic in Pakistan is 3.1 kg, while it is 3.3 kg in India and 7 kg in
China. The highest per capita consumption of plastic is in United States and
Germany, where per capita consumption is 120 kg per annum. Globally, the per
capita plastic consumption works out to be around 24 kg per annum. There are
around 6,000 plastic manufacturers in the Pakistan and 600,000 people are
directly or indirectly engaged in this business.
The injection molding business is assumed to operate as a sole proprietorship,
however, partnership opportunities may be explored if further investment is
required.
• Technology: The proposed facility is to be setup with used plastic injection
molding machine including molds for production of 500 grams plastic
containers.
• Location: The unit is proposed to be established as a manufacturing facility at
a location where utilities, infrastructure and other provisions essential for the
production process are conveniently available such as industrial zones in
Karachi, Hub, Hyderabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan, Rawalpindi and
Peshawar etc.
• Product: The project is assumed to manufacture food grade and other plastic
containers using injection grade HDPE / Co - PP plastic in a contract
manufacturing mode operating 20 hours a day, 312 days a year. The setup
would have an installed capacity to manufacture 187,200 units of 500 grams
plastic containers per annum.
• Target Market: Karachi, Hub, Hyderabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan,
Sialkot, Faisalabad, Gujrat, Rawalpindi, Quetta and Peshawar etc. are good
markets for the product under consideration.
• Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct
employment to 12 people.

covered with 30% space for warehouse, around 12% for office and tool shop and
rest 58% to be utilized for production.
The proposed premises would be acquired on a rental basis with 3 months deposit
and 3 months advance rent after which rent will be payable on monthly basis. The
monthly rent is estimated at approximately Rs. 16/ Sq. feet amounting to Rs.
32,800 per month for the proposed injection molding setup (2,050 Sq Ft.)
The premises renovation and customization costs of Rs. 205,000/- would be
depreciated at the rate of 10% per annum using diminishing balance method.

The injection molding machine is available in Pakistan with local suppliers dealing
in used / refurbished machinery. However, since the life of this machinery is very
long (15 to 20 years) many people prefer using used machinery which requires a
SMEDA Services / Information related to PM’s Youth Business Loan are FREE OF COST - 9
regular maintenance but the capital investment is significantly lower than new
machines. These machines usually come in two technological formats
1) Computerized
2) Analog
The most common brands for injection molding machinery are Jet Master, Super
Jet, Mitsubishi, BM Biraghi, Engel, Horizon, Sintesi etc. A used analog injection
molding machine of Triad origin is proposed for this setup. Chinese machines are
also available but Japanese, European or American machinery is preferred by
manufacturers and buyers. The molds are very costly and need to be carefully
picked. Some molds are locally made but people generally prefer Chinese molds
that are usually robust and refined. Used molds to manufacture 500 grams plastic
bucket are proposed for this setup. Used molds are relatively cheap and able to
deliver the desired quality for local buyers.
A total of Rs 189,000 is required for purchase of office furniture, fixture and related
equipment. The following table gives an estimated breakup:

quality mold. A strong referral base, however, is required for toll manufacturing
contracts. Raw material inventories in such a mode of manufacturing are not
necessary.
The human resource requirement for the general and management staff are as
follows:
It is assumed that the owner would be managing the overall affairs of the plastic
molding setup. An accountant is required to process bills, invoices, receivables and
also maintain accounts etc. The purchaser would be primarily responsible for
making daily procurements; raw material and other purchases as and when
required. The Production Manager should have considerable knowledge about
polymer technology and its properties; preferably having a diploma in plastic
technology with 5 to 7 years experience. The machine operators should also have
relevant experience of handling and operating injection molding machines and
plastic processing.
The proposed project would need a total of 12 persons to handle the plastic
injection molding operations. Salaries of all employees are estimated to increase at
the rate of 10% annually.
The Sales are expected to increase by 10% every year. The 10% annual increase
in revenue is expected to result from increase in product price. The prices are
exclusive of the General Sales Tax.
