5. How Much Profit Can You Make?

Let us recalculate the profit based on making NPR 150 per kg of printed bags instead of per unit.

Profit Evaluation:

On average, 1 kg of non-woven fabric can produce approximately 40–50 small bags or 20–25 large bags (subject to size & thickness).

If the bag production's daily output is 10 kilograms:

Earnings per kg: NPR 150 Total daily income: 10 kg × NPR 150 = NPR 1,500 Total monthly income (30 days): NPR 1,500 × 30 = NPR 45,000 If you raise the quantity to 50 kilograms per day: Total income per day: 50 kg × NPR 150 = NPR 7,500 Total monthly income (30 days): NPR 7,500 × 30 = NPR 225,000 Conclusion: If you print 10 kg a day, you can earn about NPR 45,000 a month. If you go up to 50 kg a day, then your earnings may be NPR 225,000 a month.
