Production of shoe covers is an effective type of business, because their production does not require special financial costs, specific conditions of sale and storage, and shoe covers themselves are largely due to the modern approach to maintaining cleanliness, primarily in medical institutions are in high demand. In the finished form, shoe covers are stored in compact sizes, so you can further save on storage and logistics costs.
Shoe covers are disposable protective hygiene products that are worn over shoes to prevent contamination of the floor in areas where high cleanliness requirements must be observed.
The use of shoe covers effectively prevents the spread of pathogens, fungi and molds from dirty shoes, and allows people not to change shoes before entering the “clean” areas of the premises. Shoe covers can be manufactured using sterile and non-sterile technology, have a different shape and may have non-slip and waterproof properties.
Depending on the nature of use, shoe covers are given the necessary strength, the required color and hygienic characteristics.
We offer you the following business plan. The production of shoe covers can be decomposed into the following stages:
The implementation of shoe covers
The target audience of shoe covers consumers is:
- chemical and food industrial enterprises;
- SPA salons and cosmetology rooms;
- medical institutions (traumatology, obstetrics, surgery, dentistry and hospitals of all kinds).
The implementation of shoe covers in bulk can be done through the following distribution channels:
- product promotion through the media: print advertising and announcements;
- product promotion through advertising media and advertising handouts: distribution of advertising brochures and business cards, advertising on light boxes, placards and monitors;
- promotion of products through advertising on the Internet;
- promotion of products directly to industrial and medical institutions that are consumers of shoe covers.
Organization of production and necessary equipment
We will consider the option, as the most popular among consumers, the production of disposable shoe covers in the form of slippers-boats with elastic at the top, made of non-woven material - polyethylene, prolipropylene or spunbond.
Manufacturing technology
From the technical side, the manufacture of disposable shoe covers is quite simple:
- A roll of raw material is installed on the equipment.
- The equipment stretches and solders the material at its seams using ultrasound or heat sealing.
- To reliably fix shoe covers on shoes, an elastic thin elastic band is attached to its upper edge.
- Packing shoe covers in boxes or bags and transportation to the warehouse.
Equipment required
There are several options for installing shoe manufacturing equipment.
Option number 1. Automatic equipment for the production of shoe covers using ultrasound from the Moscow factory Sound-Plast.
Productivity - 60 shoe covers per minute, power - 7 kW, dimensions: height - 800 mm, width - 370 mm, length 1360.
Estimated cost - 1.6 million rubles.
Option number 2. Automatic equipment from the same Moscow factory that manufactures disposable shoe covers using heat sealing.
Productivity - 60 shoe covers per minute, power - 7 kW, dimensions: height - 800 mm, width - 370 mm, length 1360.
Estimated cost - 1.36 million rubles.
The latter option, due to its lower cost, looks most attractive to a novice businessman.
Selling shoe covers using vending machines
Recently, a very attractive option for the distribution of shoe covers has appeared - with the help of vending machines, in particular, to distribute your products, you can purchase a vending machine for the sale of shoe covers “Bahilkin” worth 36.5 thousand rubles.

Feasibility Study
Capital investments
- Registration in the INFS and other expenses, including the rental of production facilities for the first month: 20 thousand rubles.
- Purchase of rubber and material for shoe covers: 10 thousand rubles.
- Delivery and adjustment of equipment: 10 thousand rubles.
- Purchase of equipment itself: 1.36 million rubles.
Total: 1.4 million rubles.
Calculation of revenue and profitability:
Performance shoe covers for an 8-hour shift: 480 minutes * 60 pieces = 28,800 shoe covers. Therefore, with 24 work shifts per month, your monthly shoe cover will be 691,200 shoe covers.
With the sale price of a shoe cover of 1 ruble, your monthly revenue will be 691.2 thousand rubles.
The cost of one shoe cover 38-40-centimeter length is:
The cost of a meter of HDPE polyethylene is 0.375 rubles, therefore, polyethylene in the amount of 0.15 cm will be spent on one shoe cover.
The consumption of gum No. 42 at its cost of 0.107 rubles / m is 40 mm or 0.043 rubles.
The cost of electricity consumption for the production of one shoe cover is 0.4 rubles.
Total, the cost of one shoe cover was 0.593 rubles. Consequently, for the production of 691,200 shoe covers, you will spend 409,881.6 rubles.
Equipment for the production of shoe covers is served by two workers with a total salary with all deductions - 30 thousand rubles.
Administrative expenses (utility bills, Internet, communications, banking) - 20 thousand rubles.
Rental of premises - 20 thousand rubles.
Other expenses - 20 thousand rubles.
Total: 80 thousand rubles.
Therefore, the monthly profit of your company will be: 691,200 rubles - 409,881.6 rubles - 80,000 rubles = 201,318.4 rubles.
So, the production of shoe covers will pay off for: 1.4 million rubles. / 0.2 million rubles = 7 months.
