Cake Box Production                                           2017

1 Executive Summary
This report is a detailed feasibility study on the production of cake box in Bhutan. The
proposed business of cake packaging box should be produced with the help of cardboard paper.
However, the idea is not only limited to cake packing box. The whole idea of business is
producing standard packing boxes for various products, viz., cake and gift boxes.

The report presents in detail the justification of the project, market analysis of cake boxes,
resources required, and technology used, plant location, implementation of the project, cost
presentation and financial analysis.

   (i)        Justification of the Project: It's very essential and high time that we produce our
              own boxes since there is huge demand for the cake boxes with the increasing number
              of bakeries and confectionaries.

   (ii)       Market Analysis: Till date, there has not been any business firm producing
              packaging boxes with proper handles and decorations. Moreover only few local
              suppliers of cake boxes while rest of the suppliers are from India.

   (iii)      Resources required: The main raw material for production of cake boxes is kraft
              papers which will be imported from the neighboring country. Apart from this, the unit
              requires skilled workers for designing and making the cake boxes. The primary
              product for this proposed business should be cake boxes however it should also
              produce gift boxes to supplement the business.

   (iv)       Technology required: Die cutting machine and printing machine is required for this
              business.

   (v)        Plant Location: Most of the towns have either one or maximum two bakeries in their
              area however, Thimphu itself has more than 50 bakeries. Therefore, upon considering
              the availability of huge number of bakeries and confectionaries in Thimphu, thus the
              proposed business should rent one unit of house in the outskirts of Thimphu to avoid
              the noise of machineries and disturbance to its neighbor. The proposed business
              should have well equipped production unit and office attached as well

   (vi)       Environmental Aspects: The Kraft papers are usually easily decomposable and bio-
              degradable.

   (vii)   Implementation of the Project: The implementation of the project will take 12
           months including pre-project activities.

   (viii) Cost Presentation and Financial Analysis:

Fixed Cost                                    Nu. 10,55,665
Working Capital                               Nu. 1,78,461
Total Investment                              Nu. 12,24,126
Break Even Point (BEP)                        10,65,835 units
Return on Investment                          66%
Payback Period                                2 years and 3 months

The total projected cost of the proposed business is BTN. 12,34,126 which consist of a startup
cost of BTN.10,55,665 and a working capital of BTN 178, 461.

The business achieves more than 66% ROI from its first year of production alone because the
total investments includes only one month of operational cost. And there is increment in ROI
every year.

The business has good demand and it should only get better over the period of time with increase
in time. One third of country's population resides in Thimphu, thus, production house has huge
responsibility delivering quality product and scope in curving the market demand.

The sources of finance for the proposed business are as follows:

    REDCL (Rural Enterprise Development Corporation Limited, former BOIC)- which
     mainly supports production and manufacturing units and this proposed business falls
     under the production unit. Therefore, the fund needed for the proposed business can be
     availed from the support of REDCL.

     Others source of finance is mentioned below;
    Loden
    Self-funding
    Banking institutions at the average rate of 12%.

2   Justification of the project
2.1 The need of the project
Till date, there has not been any business firm producing packaging boxes with proper handles
and decorations. Moreover, only few local suppliers of cake boxes while rest of the suppliers are
from India.

The systematic recycling of paper creates job opportunities, reduces the load on the landfill,
increases material efficiency and reduces the dependency on imports. This would ensure a better
flow of revenues inside Bhutan and serve as a catalyst for economic growth based on available
resources. It's very essential and high time that we produce our own boxes since there is huge
demand for the cake boxes with the increasing number of bakeries and confectionaries.
Similarly, no high technology needs to be adopted to produce the said product.

The need for the professional packaging for cakes and junks foods has reached the optimum
level based on the number of consumers and the food habits of young generations. Good packing
box adds value to the product and most of the time its about packaging more than the main
product.

Global packaging, by type — 2012

Total market size = US$400b Paper and board 34% Glass 11% Others 12% Flexible plastic
10% Beverage cans 6% Rigid plastic 27% Source: EY analysis

The above Pie chart shows that the paper and board are widely used for packaging in the globe
compared to other types like flexible plastics, glass, and rigid plastics.

2.2 Economical basis
The project would help the country in realizing one of the pillars of GNH, i.e., self-reliance since
the company can help the government in reducing the imports from the other country and help in
economic development through its functions and activities. The business should create
employment opportunities with our very own product and curve the rupee crunch.

Annually every single confectionary places the demand of 25,000 units of packing boxes and
with few local producer of the product in the country, it is impossible to meet the said demand
thus, ultimately huge import from the neighboring countries. Likewise, Thimphu itself has
demand of 1,250,000 units annually but few producers could meet only 100,000 units with other
remaining shops opting to purchase the neighboring countries. The production house should
supply to other parts of Bhutan and ease the availability boxes at their door steps.

2.3 Competition Analysis
As per the survey made, there are only handful of businesses that produces and supplies cake
packaging boxes. It is known that most of the suppliers are from India. For now, Druk Menjong
Fabric Unit is the only production house producing cake packing boxes which is located at
Babesa. With only one player in the market there is huge shortage of supply thus enabling the
new entrant in the market. There is no question competition since the single seller is not being
able to meet the demand.

2.4 Critical Success Factor
The critical success factors for the proposed business are as mentioned below:

    Constant supply of board paper: For the proposed business to grow and succeed there
     must be constant supply of cardboard paper which is essential for making the product.

    Location: The location for the proposed business should be in the Serbithang area since
     there is huge space required for the setup of business and the house rent are quite lower
     compared to the ones in the towns.

3    Market Analysis
3.1 Demand vs. Supply
There are more than 50 numbers of bakeries in Thimphu and yet only few suppliers of cake box
in Thimphu. One of the competitors, Druk Menjong Fabric Unit located at Babesa is said to
have received more demand from the customers about 25,000 units from each and they are able
to produce 100000 units monthly. Thus from here one can clearly understand that there is more
demand than the actual supply. Thimphu has the highest number of population in the country and
the number of pastries shop, bakeries, cafes and hotels has also increased. There is a huge market
demand for the cake boxes and gift boxes in Bhutan. The demand in the country is currently met
by supplies that are imported from India, resulting in a significant outflow of Rupee. Thus the
proposed business should aim in reduction of imports from neighboring country. The firm should
also bridge the gap between demand and supply in the market.

3.2 Pricing and Marketing Strategies
The existing price for the various shapes of cake boxes in the market ranges from Nu.1.5-12.5
depending upon the shapes and sizes. However, the price of the proposed business would be
charged on average of Nu. 5 per box. In addition to it the proposed business should have
handmade gifts which should be priced at Nu. 15. The price of gift wrappers made with plastics
in the market is priced at Nu.10. However, the proposed business should be having handmade
gift boxes with special designs at reasonable prices. The products should be marketed with the
help of print Medias such as Yeewong magazine and Kuensel.

To attract the customer, the proposed business should determine its selling price by following
penetration pricing method. After comparing the price at which the competitor sells its product in
the market, the average price for the proposed business should be for its products at:

Price according to the sizes:

                         Sizes available                             Nu. Per piece

3.3 Competitiveness of the project
The market still has very less number of cakes packing box production in Bhutan. On an average,
the existing selling price ranges from BTN to 6 for the 8*8 size. The proposed business provides
product at comparatively low compared to its competitor. However, the existing products are
plain and no handles to carry but the product of the proposed business should have proper
handles to carry and attractive.

Unique selling Proposition: The proposed business provides a wide range of goods varied in
sizes, shapes and most importantly easy to carry with proper handles on it. It also has labeling on
the product bearing brand name and trademarks.

         regions

Analysis

The strength of the business lies in having the less competitors, low machinery requirement,
availability of labor locally, presence of the raw materials supplier and central and accessible
location. It has some weaknesses such as existence of suppliers who are mainly the Indian
suppliers, and there is huge volume of imports from India. However, this business will capitalize
the market by introducing boxes of unique and proper handles to carry.

The proposed business has the potential to create employment opportunities and in future the
business aims to expand its business in other regions as well. The only threat to this business is
the existing packaging boxes in the market, and it should be overcome by providing unique
selling proposition.

10 Final Finding and Recommendation

Packaging plays a significant role in bakery products in increasing its durability, preventing
mechanical damages, marketing, nutrition value and displaying food safety related warnings.
People all around the world prefer deserts despite their age gap and keeping that on account our
business aims to provide attractive and durable packaging box for those bakery products. It’s not
only about the durability and eye catching designs but for those businesses that are into selling
bread, cake, or bakery, delicious package designs should definitely get hungry buyers to buy.
Bhutan has limited population strength and our business ought to provide to our valued
customers, the finest packing boxes varied in sizes, shapes, and color.

Paper cake box is healthy, fashionable and also it can keep your product fresh. It’s perfect for
any occasion, whether bakeries, cafes, supermarkets or wedding, etc. It is quick and easy to
assemble. We use eco-friendly natural paper material. Also we can customize logo, color and
size for paper cake box as per their need and preferences.

For a business to run smoothly and boost up its sales, the location of the business plays a vital
role in here. Therefore, the location of our business would be Thimphu only, with aim to attract
the bakery shops and other customers of largely populated area in the country. Gradually our
business aims to expand to other region as well.

The total projected cost of the proposed business is BTN. 1,036,425 which consist of a startup
cost of BTN.893, 725 and a working capital of BTN 142,700. The proposed business should rent
one unit of house near Serbithang area in Thimphu because it should be perfect location since the
area isn’t densely populated and the noise of machinery would not be much of a disturbance to
its neighbor. The proposed business should have its production unit and office attached as well.
The primary product for this proposed business should be cake boxes however it should also
produce gift boxes.

The project has estimated to produce and sell 3200 units in total. It should produce 1500 of cake
boxes, 700 of gift boxes and 1000 of Pop-corn boxes during its first year which has its total
sales worth of BTN 1,800,000. In the fifth year it aims to achieve total sales worth BTN
2,635,380. The estimated profit for this business is 9.27 %

11 Conclusion
  The project is feasible since: The Internal Rate of Return of the project is 35%, significantly
  higher than the bank return rate of 12%. Hence, the project is deemed financially viable. The
  NPV of the project is positive (Nu. 1, 03, 7827) during the first 5 years of operation
  considered. This implies that the project generates sufficient funds to cover all its cost,
  including loan repayments and interest payments during the period.

  The project has huge scope from both the financial and market aspects. There are no
  obligations from legal and environment sector. Looking at the current scenario the demand
  should only increase over the period of time and business has ample scope where ever we
  place the production house. However, Thimphu has be selected as the location for business
  since maximum of the bakeries and confectionaries are established in the capital.

  Machines and equipment would be the challenging part of the startup phase since it has to be
  brought either from India or china. In doing so there is huge lead time gap and logistic
  challenges usually faced by the promoter. Likewise, promoter has to build the networks for
  collecting the raw material in making hard board paper. Printing add the additional value and
  selling point thus for decorative printing the business needs good printing machine.

  Current trend shows that the only local production house is not being able to meet the
  demand and about 70% of the supply comes across the border. Thimphu has the major share
  of the market and due to insufficient supply most of confectionaries import from India. So,
  the new entrant would curve the shortage of production and also benefit the society
  economically and financially.
