PVC plastic (foamed) 1.0-1.5-2.0mm self-adhesive double-sided
Self-adhesive sheets foamed PVC with an excellent double-sided adhesive base, protected by a special siliconized anti-adhesive film (PET liner). When cut, the plastic has a smooth edge. As a result, photo books or albums come out with perfect edges. The adhesive layers are special rubber thermo-melts (without water content) with high residual adhesion at room temperature. This allows you to create spreads (pages) of photo books and albums that are durable and resistant to external influences. The glue does not dry out over time! A distinctive feature of foamed PVC is its relatively small specific gravity. As a result, even books assembled on this 2mm thick material weigh insignificantly.

Every person has documents that they want to protect from dirt. And this is not only a passport, but also a student ID, driver’s license, birth certificate, and so on. Covers are most often used to protect papers. You can build your own business by manufacturing such products, which will bring considerable profit. The main thing is to purchase necessary materials, tools and some experience.
Making covers for documents requires precise adherence to technology. Otherwise, the products will be of poor quality.
What you will need
The manufacturing process of such products is quite simple. The main thing is to be careful and follow the basic rules. To start making document covers, you need to purchase everything you need. This requires base material, varnish, lining, cardboard blanks that give rigidity to the products. You also need to decide in advance what you will make the covers from. Artificial leather substitutes, genuine leather, and vinyl can be used as the main material. A lot depends on the choice. In addition, the service life of the cover depends on the wear resistance of the base material.
The lining is necessary to maintain the attractive appearance of the product. It is usually made from artificial materials. Particular attention should be paid to the varnish. Colors and other characteristics of the coating usually depend on the purpose of the cover. It is best to use acrylic composition in cans. Making covers for documents is a simple process. The main thing is to maintain consistency. Cardboard pieces should be inserted between the lining. This will make the product more rigid and protect it from kinks and tears. That's all you need for business. You can start making document covers.
Business benefits
PVC, leather and other materials as a business have many advantages. Among them it is worth highlighting the following:
Technology for making covers for documents
The image should be applied to the workpiece using the blending technique. Thanks to this, you can make an original and beautiful cover. The color and patterns in this case depend on the type of document. It is worth noting that equipment for making covers for documents can be found in almost any home. After all, sewing is carried out using a regular sewing machine.
Almost any decorative elements can be used to decorate finished products. However, it should be remembered that not only young people are interested in such products. Therefore, it is worth making covers for all age categories. This will increase sales.
Business payback
So, you have started making document covers. This business usually pays off. Many people are interested in how long it takes for this to happen. There is no definite answer here. The payback of this business directly depends on how much time you devote to it and how much effort you put in.
As for the cost of materials, it’s easy to calculate everything. One square meter of leather is enough to make 20 document covers. The cost of this material is about 200 rubles. The same number of products requires 10 sheets of cardboard and a square meter of lining. This amount of materials costs about 100 rubles. Don't forget about acrylic varnish. Making covers for documents from PVC and other materials is simply impossible without it. Acrylic varnish costs about 150 rubles. Now you can calculate the cost finished products. This figure is 30 rubles. Moreover, the production time is only 1 - 1.5 hours. On average, the selling price of such a product is about 300 rubles for just one cover.
How and to whom to sell
The main disadvantage of any business is the difficulty of selling ready-made products. Such problems arise precisely at the initial stage. After all, newcomers to this field need to look for points of sale for their products, and this requires communication skills.
If you have started a business producing covers for various documents, then you should look for the main consumer among young people. Most often, such products are purchased by people aged 16 to 35 years, and this is no coincidence. It is at this age that a person is more attracted to bright and unusual things. First, you should advertise your product as an inexpensive but creative gift.
In conclusion
Making covers for various documents is an ideal way to earn money for those who strive for financial independence. The technology for creating such a product is quite simple and does not require excessive costs. The starting materials in this case are quite low in cost. Which, in turn, allows us to produce covers at a low cost. This kind of business pays off very quickly. The main thing is to do it daily.
Among the disadvantages of such a business, it is worth highlighting the difficulties of selling goods at the initial stage. Before you start making covers for documents, you should decide in advance on the age category of consumers, and also decide how such products will be positioned.
It's no secret that today almost every person is forced to carry a whole set of documents with them. To preserve them and protect them from damage, the best way like the cover, haven't found it yet. However, it is not always possible to buy a suitable “crust” format for a document, and this niche for small businesses is partly empty. Get yours starting capital, having launched the production of various covers for documents – quite real way.
