At present, there are many categories and complex specifications in the plastic bag market. Many customers often only ask how much it costs when consulting with plastic bag manufacturers. In fact, this makes it difficult for manufacturers to answer because the prices of products with different styles, materials, and specifications vary greatly, and their pricing standards are also different. Even the commonly used plastic bags in the market have different prices due to different raw materials. Therefore, whether ordering or selling, it is necessary to have a systematic understanding of the common sense of plastic bags. Otherwise, it will be answering irrelevant questions or questions. Below, we will briefly introduce several important factors that determine the price of plastic bags.

1. Plastic bag style

This plays a crucial role in the price. There are various styles of plastic bags, such as tote bags, vest bags, tear off bags, flat bags, etc. Different styles of products have different production processes and production efficiencies. Some products have simple production processes and easy molding, so their prices are relatively cheap, while others have relatively high prices. Some products have high production efficiency and can be mass-produced by machines, so their prices are relatively low, while others have low production efficiency and require manual or semi manual production, so their prices are relatively high.

2. Plastic bag raw materials

Different raw materials determine different prices, including plastic pellets, additives, and so on. Some products use raw materials that produce products with very good color, resulting in high prices. However, some raw materials are recycled through recycling, resulting in rough colors and a world of difference from good products, resulting in very low prices. Additives are also like this. In fact, raw materials are directly proportional to costs. The better the raw materials, the higher the cost, and vice versa.

3. Plastic bag size specifications

In plastic bag trading, specifications are often asked, but we usually calculate dimensions in centimeters, which include three benchmark data: length, width, and side width. The size of the dimensions determines the amount of raw materials required for plastic bag production and the size of the printing area. It is also directly proportional to the cost, with larger dimensions leading to higher prices, and vice versa

4. Plastic bag material thickness

Thickness is also a key factor in determining the price of plastic bags. There is also a specialized unit in the plastic industry called "silk", where one thread is equal to 0.01 centimeters. Of course, thickness is proportional to price, just like size. However, "silk" is a professional unit, and customers often do not know how to use "silk" to measure thickness during the consultation process. Moreover, plastic bags are already very thin, and customers cannot measure them with specialized tools. They can only give a rough usage purpose. Manufacturers can determine how many threads are needed based on the usage purpose.

5. Printed patterns on plastic bags

Patterns can be expressed as' monochrome single-sided printing ',' monochrome double-sided printing ',' two-color single-sided printing ',' two-color double-sided printing ', and printing colors, etc. Monochrome printing requires one plate, while two-color printing requires two plates. Moreover, the ink used in printing has different prices, and some patterns require special colors or special inks, which are even more expensive. This requires detailed communication between manufacturers and customers to avoid future disputes.

6. Customized quantity of plastic bags

The minimum order quantity varies for different styles and specifications. Some customers may say, 'Please give me a price first, and I will determine the customized quantity based on the price - this will make it difficult for the plastic bag factory customer service.'. There are two reasons why the customer service asked about the customized quantity. Firstly, ordering plastic bags involves the issue of "minimum order quantity". When making 1000 bags and 10000 bags, the amount of raw materials wasted during machine debugging is almost the same. The waste rate of orders below the minimum order quantity will be astonishing, and the pricing of plastic bags will be outrageously high, which you will not accept. 2、 Plastic bag manufacturers usually customize according to user requirements, rather than producing one or several specifications of products in the warehouse and waiting for wholesale.
