The company will produce paper of half a kilogram is because the intention is to produce small size and light paper bag. These figures are important given that they determine the financial implications of setting up this paper manufacturing company. Paper bag making process will require (i) a paper cutting machine, (ii) a die-cutter to be used to sketch label lines for paper folding, (iii) a
