[Hot spot] The boss of the candle presentation boxes company

     

1. The owner of the candle presentation boxes factory describes his story:

      

 "From working in the candle presentation boxes factory in 1998, to the establishment of my own candle presentation boxes factory in 2008, and now in 2022, after 24 spring, summer, autumn and winter, I have also changed from a passionate young man to a greasy uncle. With the ever-increasing competitive pressure, I really feel powerless, I even wanted to give up more than once, but I couldn’t find any other way out, so I could only grit my teeth and persist, and it was full of tears.”

——The boss of Weifang candle presentation boxes factory described his story like this.

   

      

2. Boss Wang as the apprentice of candle presentation boxes:

     

Many people in the candle presentation boxes packaging industry are easy to come in, but it is difficult to persist. Boss Wang joined the candle presentation boxes factory in 1998 to work. The relevant skills are relatively unfamiliar, and the latter are taught by the masters of the candle presentation boxes factory gradually. After that, practice makes perfect, and I have also become a master in the factory. This has been done for 10 years.

     

    

3. Boss Wang opened a candle presentation boxes factory by himself:

    

After being in the business for so long, Boss Wang has a basic understanding of the operation process and equipment situation of the candle presentation boxes factory, and he also has a little savings. So in 2008, Boss Wang wanted to go back to his hometown to open his own small factory of candle presentation boxes. However, after the actual candle presentation boxes factory was opened, he also encountered many problems.

    

    

4. All you can earn from opening a candle presentation box factory is:

      

In the early stage of opening a candle presentation box factory, purchasing machinery, renting workshops, recruiting workers, and buying raw materials were all expenses. There are still many candle presentation box factories like mine, and the competition is indeed relatively large. Fortunately, when I work in the factory, I will meet with The customer is relatively familiar, and some orders will be made by him, and the factory has been established for more than ten years! If you want to ask me if I have made any money, to be honest, I have made money, but a lot of the money I make is with my clients. Now the situation of the candle presentation boxes factory is affected by the general environment. If you want to make money, you must first ensure that the order quantity is large. Small batch orders are undoubtedly break-even or zero-profit processing.

   

     

5. There is a lot of competition in producing candle presentation boxes:

    

In order to win big customers, many candle presentation box factories will extend the account period, and I am the same. As a result, it is impossible to guarantee a fast and smooth payment. They are all old customers, and I am embarrassed to force them. Collect a little money every month to pay taxes, wages of workers, payment for raw materials, electricity and oil, and other miscellaneous things, which are gone. At present, the status quo of many candle presentation box factories is like this. But today is different. Rent rises, tax reforms, labor costs rise, market conditions decline, and environmental protection policies are getting stricter. Many candle presentation box factories have not survived. I am lucky.

    

    

6. The raw materials of candle presentation boxes are rising too fast

     

In 2017, I was more impressed. The price increase of waste paper, base paper and cardboard was wave after wave. The price of paper for producing candle presentation boxes rose from about 2,800 yuan per ton in April to the end of June. The price of cardboard, which is a downstream product, rose by more than 20%. At that time, I kept receiving faxes from the upstream cardboard factory to adjust the price. The price adjustment was not only high, but also much faster.

    

     

7. Candle presentation boxes cost too much

      

Faced with such cost pressure, it is really difficult for small factories to survive. Many factories around them are unprofitable or even loss-making. Some factories have no choice but to stop production. I and more candle presentation box factories chose to increase prices. Boxes went up to 9 yuan, but I still lose some money every month. It would be too hard. I wanted to give up more than once. "

    

    

8. Epidemic crisis, the biggest wave of closures strikes

     

8.1. The epidemic has delayed the start of the candle presentation boxes factory:

     

Recalling the epidemic in 2020, the epidemic came suddenly and spread very fast, and there was no preparation in the factory. After the Spring Festival, all the candle presentation box factories have basically delayed the start of work. When can workers return to work? When will the factory reopen? It's all unknown, and we have to wait for the government's notice. The basic salaries and rent of employees are all expenses. There is only output but no input. Raw materials take up a lot of money. It is too difficult to stay at home.

    

     

8.2. The candle presentation boxes factory survived the epidemic, but it fell on the cost:

    

After the resumption of work, due to the restrictions on transportation and the supply of raw materials, the factory inventory was running low, and the market first saw a sharp price increase, then a rapid decline, and finally reached the peak of the summer paper price. Faced with the rise in paper prices in the second quarter, the candle presentation box factory at that time was ill-fated. Many candle presentation box factories survived the epidemic and finally fell on the cost.

   

    

9. Candle presentation boxes factory Persistence is victory:

    

Persistence is not easy, persistence is even more difficult. After 24 years in the business, Boss Wang's story is really admirable. In the current environment, persistence is the key for candle presentation boxes factory. Difficulties are short-lived for us after all, I believe that we who are doing candle presentation boxes will eventually usher in victory!
