A Wet wipes Machine is an investment for your business so you want to be sure you are choosing the correct one to fulfill your needs and budget. It can be quite daunting as there are so many out there and they all have different features and functionalities.

Don’t be overwhelmed!

You probably have looked into your local market and noticed that one category of disposable hygienic commodities are starting to take up an increasingly larger space on the shelf.

That is “wet wipes.”

This industry has grown rapidly from the time when baby care wet wipes defined the entire market. Today there are wet wipes used for cosmetic purposes, for household use as well as for hygienic applications.

Generally, wipes come in various packing forms. Some are packed in 80counts with flip-top; some are counted 10 sheets and portable to fit in a lady’s purse; some come in an extremely large size like a bath towel and some are packed in a single sachet.

What type of wet wipes machine? 

Before you start to feel dizzy by the dazzlingly display of all types of wipes on the market, you have envisioned it as a prosperous market and a profitable business, so you are intended to set up your own wet wipes production lines.

“ Great, now I am going to make my own wipes. How excited!

Hold on, let me search to find one machine that can produce all those wipes, if that it would be a great saving, isn’t it?”

Well, I hate to sound ruthless to smash your fantasies, but here is the No.1 rule of thumb that you have to remember: There is no one-size-fits-all wet wipes machine on the market.

As per tissue folding types and converting theories, wet wipes available on the market can be categorized into the following 4 types:

(1) Single/double counts/bag;

(2) 5-30 counts/bag;

(3) 30-120 counts/bag;

(4) canister wipes.

Therefore, you will need to adopt 4 different converting machines so as to cover a full range of wipes as below.

[ “You have made a point. But I am still confused a little bit. I want to make kitchen wipes, cosmetic wipes, Cleaning wipes, wet bath towel, alcohol swab.. and which category shall all these wipes go to?”

Well, Stop struggling over all the “fancy names”, it is all about formula.

My previous article about the formula in wet wipes (“Raw material for wet wipes production: (2) What is the “wet” in the wipes? )would clear your doubts. Check here.”]

Once you target at one specific type of wipes, let’s say baby wipes in 80counts or cosmetic wipes in 15 counts, the first thing you need to think about is where are your wet wipes machine going to go? Among hundreds of machine vendors who all promised “the best product and perfect solutions” under different price tags, how to locate the model that best fits your demand？

There there. No head-scratching now.

I have done the hard work for you, and Let’s run through it together:

Selecting a well-fit production line could be quite a challenge involving the balancing of several factors: output product specification, desired performance, Cost considerations, Capacity speed, machine configuration, automation levels, factory space, future upgrades all play a role in selecting the best production line for your application. 

As a machine supplier, I have seen many purchasers rushed to ask for machine price the moment we got connected. It is surprising that the price seems to be the only determinant in his purchasing. While some would claim they are not able to define their budget frame until each machine cost is unveiled. Much as I couldn’t fully agree on it, I would suggest our customers to take the following key factors into the evaluation and work out the desired performance they are expecting to achieve. Once they fully understand what results they are trying to get, they will be able to see which costs range they are falling into so that they could adjust their allocable budget accordingly.

[ “What is the price of this machine?”

-It ranges from “xxxx Usd to xxxx Usd.”

Why don’t we sit down first and have a discussion on your specific demands”

-Ok, I will discuss it with our team and get back to you on Monday.”

And your Monday never comes.]

1.Capacity speed

“What is the speed of the machine?” this question ranks second on the list of Frequently asked questions.( Top 1 question? – Well, Mr. what’s-the-price is smiling now. )

Much as the fact that capacity speed varies from one model to another, your consideration of capacity is heavily related to 2 key elements: sales channel and sales volume.

• Sales volume: You all understand that the production target is driven by marketing and sales activities and thus the capacity of production facilities is generally defined by your sales volume. Here is my kind reminder: Don’t confine your calculation to current sales volumes. Make sure you have worked out a 2-3 years’ volume forecast to prevent any future constraint and pressures. (p.s. Never underestimate your own marketing capability.)
• Sales Channel：Sales Channel shapes your sales volume too. If you are capable and ambitious to work on multiple channels, count them all in.

2.Product specification

• Product types and sizes:

“There is no one-size-fits-all wet wipes machines.”

If you were not skipping through our previous passages, you will have this No.1 rule of thumb borne in mind till now.

However, that does not mean our machine is inflexible. On each machine there will be a specs range to allow for different (while limited) product sizes. With only a simple set on the touch screen or a slight adjustment on certain parts, product diversity is not a dream.

• Production model: You are positioning yourself as a contract manufacturer (OEM) or you will be focusing on your own brand’s manufacturing (OBM)? Or you want to go the extra mile and handle both?

A contract manufacturer should get ready to be challenged with diversified product specification demands, so you probably would want to make sure no constraints are there when a million worth OEM order hits you in the future.

The internet is often asked what exactly is an OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer. That’s a tricky question because the definition of OEM has undergone a slight shift over the years. Its meaning could also change depending on context.

Traditionally, however, Original Equipment Manufacturer referred to a company that manufactured a product for another company, which then sold it onwards – sometimes after adding value to it – under its own brand. It is very common in retail, such as for electronics or beauty products.

Today, it is largely understood to be manufacturing to order in which a manufacturing specialist makes a product or component for another company that provides it with the product design and other specifications. The buying company may sell this product or component individually or assemble it with other components (adding value) to make a product that is sold under its own brand name.

Original Equipment Manufacturer is also called contract manufacturing or outsourced manufacturing.

Advantages of Original Equipment Manufactured

1. Competitive pricing: Components are usually extremely cost-competitive because of the economies of scale. Large volumes, streamlined processes and efficient supply chains especially in low-cost regions such as China make OEM parts cheaper than if they had been manufactured by the buying company itself. When a good quality product is priced at a low or reasonable price, it leads to increased sales, revenue and profits.
2. Access to experts leads to good quality: Several companies have been using the same manufacturing process for years. This makes them experts in that process. Take die casting. An experienced manufacturer will know the reasons for manufacturing defects such as low wall thickness and high die surface porosity and take steps to prevent these defects from cropping up. Companies that do not have the vast experience with Original Equipment Manufacturers have will make mistakes that can be costly. Trial and error costs money so why reinvent the wheel, right?
3. Cut capital costs and protect yourself against fluctuations in operational costs: By outsourcing manufacturing, companies save on capital costs spent to acquire machinery and factory space. That’s not all. They benefit with regard to operational expenses such as costs of raw materials, some of which can fluctuate over time, upsetting the best-planned budgets. While outsourcing to China, companies often lock in the per unit cost of the product for a fixed period after negotiations with their supplier. This protects them against any fluctuations in the price of inputs such as raw material or even currency. So a company will know, say, that 100 units of their product will cost them $100 for the next 10 months. This aids planning and budgeting and prevents any nasty price-related surprises from popping up (except in extreme situations, which are rare). If you ran your own manufacturing facility, these risks are all yours.
4. Focus on product development, marketing and sales: Outsourcing manufacturing allows companies to invest more resources into research and development for new products or finding new markets and customers for their existing products.

Popular OEM industries

1. Computer hardware and consumer electronics: Several companies in this industry use Original Equipment Manufacturers to make their products and components. Apple Inc has been using components by different manufacturers in its iPhones for years, for instance, with the majority of its devices being assembled by Foxconn. Similarly, Lenovo used to manufacture IBM personal computers before it bought IBM’s PC business in and its x86 server business in .
2. The automotive sector: Several car manufacturers worldwide use several parts made by OEMs while assembling their cars. These could include exhaust systems, plastic injection molded automotive parts and tyres and car electronics.
3. Start-ups: OEMs are particularly suitable for start-ups or entrepreneurs. If you are an entrepreneur who has a great idea for a product, have done your research and development, and your market research says there is a clear demand for that product, getting an OEM to manufacture your product is the fastest and most efficient way to get it to the market. All you have to do is find an experienced manufacturer possibly with the help of a China sourcing agent, share a prototype, ask for a quote, sign an agreement with them and then wait for your shipment to reach your shores. Much easier than setting up a factory from scratch, right?
