5 questions you should think about before doing diaper machine business

When you begin to build a business, before you take any practically action, there are several questions you should inspect to insure the career can make any profit for you.

1.       What factory area is required for a napkin or diaper machine?

It depends on the diaper machine; some of the more compact models are less than 8 metres long. An average length of machine of 15metres would be a good guideline. The common diaper machine varies from 30 to 40 metres long.

2.       How much do Diaper cost?

The common range of prices for European or US diaper machines would be from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 - you can pay more. Chinese machines cost from $120,000 to $1,800,000.

There are also manual diaper machines available at costs below $20,000, but these require high labor input and produce very few diapers that will be at a low quality level. Not recommended
