Whether you are manufacturing Gel-Paks for your own use or whether you intend to manufacture them for wholesale, the Gel-Pak Production Unit can save you money. The following business case illustrates how.*

Polymer
The current cost of polymer is $9.00 per kilogram.

Each 1kg Gel-Pak requires approximately 10 grams of polymer. Accounting for some inconsistency or loss of polymer, each 1kg Gel-Pak uses about 10 cents worth of polymer.

Gel-Pak Bags
The actual cost of each Gel-Pak bag will vary depending on size and whether the bags are printed. For the purposes of this business case a reasonable value of 8 cents per bag has been allocated.

Total Cost Per Bag
Using these figures, the total cost per 1kg Gel-Pak is 18 cents. The Gel-Pak Production Unit is capable of producing up to 2,000 bags per day.

Compare this figure with your current expenses for transport and shipping refrigeration.

Other advantages of manufacturing your own Gel-Paks include:

• No freight costs on water, which is 99.9% of a Gel-Pak
• Bulk delivery and waiting time eliminated
• Under-utilised labour can be put to work manufacturing Gel-Paks
• Gel-Pak size can be adjusted to suit your purpose
• Gel-Pak bags can be printed with custom logos or patterns

We believe that effective use of the Gel-Pak Production Unit can reduce your cost by 100%-500%.
