Strength of Vietnam plastic bag industry

Plastic bags and its convenience and popularity are obvious nowadays. Recently, plastic packaging industry has been thriving in global market because of not only its prominent characteristics: durability, water resistance, cheap price, light weight... but also its new function in new market "promotion products". With the strength of cheap materials, cheap labor cost, Asian countries has been becoming very strong competitors in plastic industry, among those countries, Vietnam is a prominent example.

The first advantage of Vietnam in producing plastic is cheaper cost of raw material, land rent, labor cost. Big factories in Vietnam are usually located in provinces which far away from center. The reason for it is its absolute advantages in land cost and labor cost. Vietnam is usually known as an agricultural nation which specialized in working on farm with very low income. However, when industrial zone appeared, it created big advantages to recruit a huge number of workers from those farmers with very cheap salary. In average, the labor cost for 1 ton of plastic bags range from 250USD to 400USD up to different kinds of bags. Moreover, rent fee of land also is much cheaper compared with developed countries. That's why a lot of big companies in plastic bag industry in developed countries can not compete with Vietnam companies. They have to close their factories and change to become wholesalers and importers. They import bags from Vietnam and resell in their market (especially for EU, US, Japan...)

The other advantage of Vietnam plastic bags is no anti dumping tax to EU countries. Anti dumping tax on plastic bags is created because the companies in EU,US cannot compete with cheap prices from Asia. The anti dumping tax ranges from 8 percent to 30 percent for almost Asian countries especially put on China; the tax rate depends on different factories. There is no anti dumping tax on Vietnamese companies therefore, it makes Vietnam become a very strong competitor compared with other Asian countries, especially China.

Regarding to the quality of plastic bag, Vietnam also imports materials (virgin resin) from Thailand, Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc and machines from Taiwan, therefore, the quality is at the same level as other Asian countries. Even Vietnam's bag quality is known more stable than China.

Taking those advantages, Vietnam become more and more competitive in global market and attract a lot of customers from developed countries and try to expand their capacity. It will open very promising future for Vietnam plastic industry and big opportunities for worldwide customers to get high quality and cheap prices.

Plastic Bags for Different Purposes

Plastic bags and its necessity in daily life is obvious; however, have you ever wondered why the bags in shopping store tend to be strong and thick while plastic bags from grocery shop is thin and flimsy. That's because of different materials of plastic which is used for different purposes of customers.

So, when was plastic born and how it diversifies into different types as today?

Plastic was introduced the first time at London's Great International Exhibition in 1862. But it wasn't until 1909 that the term "plastic" was used which is described as new class of materials which included "bakelite," made from coal tar. That substance was used to produce many items such as telephones, cameras... Till the end of World War I, when petroleum was more available and easier to process than coal star, plastic became more popular. With its dominant feature of water resistance, strength, tough, plastic bags was put into common use.

Plastic bags are made from 3 main types of polyethylene: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) which is used for different uses. The main difference between those types is the degree of branching of the polymer chain. The degree of branching will affect tensile strength and crystallinity. The more branched a molecule is, the lower is its tensile strength and crystalline.

LDPE chains are branched, therefore, it is usually made with minimum thickness is 20mic. It is an excellent choice for shopping bags because it is thick, glossy and most beautifully printed. Therefore, companies which are manufacturers of clothing shops, garment items usually take advantages of these bags to advertise their brand name with logo, printing images on bags.

HDPE and LLDPE are composed of linear, unbranched chains. Because of its high density of monomers, plastic bags from those materials can be made very thin from 8mic. They are usually used for grocery because grocery and food items should be used only once, therefore, using very thin ones with no printing will be save much cost.

Moreover, one of very common complaints today about plastic bags is its existence for hundreds of years. This is a big harm for environments and makes people avoid using plastic bags. One solution for this issue is to produce biodegradable plastic bags. The products were invented to be made from starch which comes from corn or potatoes. This can converted into lactic acid which can be polymerized to biodegradable plastic. This additive only cost more usd 100/1 ton of plastic bags and this method has become a common solution for developed countries now such as EU, US...
