#In-Mold Labels Market Demand

[peter-author]

More Profit From Almost Nothing

Manufacturing is a simple formula. You take a small amount of material, mold or shape it into something unique and sell it for many hundreds of times more money than the material cost you. A Rolex has maybe $40 worth of raw materials. Carefully designed and constructed, it is worth thousands when complete, many times that when fashionable. So too with cars.

The problem with the car industry is that they are convinced that the formula works so well that they want to make more money but there are only so many customers. Everyone either has or uses a car. Out of the 350,000,000 Americans of all ages – babies and non-drivers -- there already are 278,063,737 personal and commercial vehicles. So the problem facing car manufacturers trying to make more and more profit is that either they have to try and sell two cars to every driver or they have to make the cars much more expensive, thereby making more profit.

The manufacturers chose the latter solution.

How do you make the car more expensive and thereby profitable? Remember the formula: take 10¢ of steel, shape it and sell it for $1.00. Now, there are exceptions to this rule. First you can create a mystique about Bentley, Mercedes, BMW and the like and get an extra 10% for “beat-the-Jones” show-off value. But 10% is not enough to satisfy Wall Street investors. Or you can make very limited numbers of a model to create extra demand like Ferrari and Porsche. Or you can stick to the manufacturing profit model and simply add more and more steel and other components.

It all started to get out of hand with Ralph Nader who declared the ’69 Corsair “unsafe at any speed.” The Corsair was the only US manufactured rear engine car. Kill the Corsair and you effectively killed the other “unsafe” car, the VW Beetle. The Corsair weighed 2,414 lbs. The VW Beetle weighed only 1,742 lbs. and out-performed and was more reliable. But that Nader label of “unsafe” effectively killed the US market for the rear-engined Beetle. VW’s answer was to put the motor back in front, add almost another ton of steel, and relaunch the Beetle. More steel equaled a higher price and more profit.

Meanwhile, Chevy and Ford sedans in the mid-‘60s weighed 2,600 lbs. By 2022 they had ballooned up to 3,500 lbs. More material, more profit. VW Jetta’s are 50% heavier than when launched. Camry weighed 2,161 lbs. when launched in 1982, now weigh in at 3,310 lbs. In the SUV market, 2023 weights are getting up close to 6,000 lbs. or 3 tons for Tahoes and Expeditions.

And then along came electric cars.

Instead of going back to lighter, less bulky chassis, they simply stuck the new motor(s) and all those batteries in conventional platforms, adding another 300 lbs. even though they had removed the engine and gearbox – hardly lightweight components – and had reduced the overall size of the car by 20%. And Tesla? The lightest is 4,048 lbs. with the Model X at 5,390 lbs. And the prices for these increases in weight? Pretty much in lock step. More metal and plastic costs you more.

Now here’s the question we all need to ask ourselves: given today’s technology providing reliability mechanically (which is also lighter than old cast-iron engines), wouldn’t it be nice to have a reasonably heavy car instead of a gas guzzling heavyweight or an electric car that can only go 200 miles? Put today’s engine into a 1968 Volvo weighing 2,500 lbs. and you’d get 50 mpg and all the safety needed. Put an electric drivetrain in an original VW Beetle and you’d get 400-mile range with half the batteries of a Tesla. Or do as Ford is doing, stripping out all the unessentials, and launching the Maverick small truck with a base price of $22,000. Now that’s a business model to suit today’s consumer.

How to Spot Hidden Gems at Restaurant Auctions?

Restaurant auctions can be treasure troves for savvy buyers, offering an opportunity to score high-quality equipment, décor, and supplies at a fraction of their retail cost. However, the key to making the most out of these events lies in identifying hidden gems—items that are valuable yet often overlooked. Here’s a guide to help you master the art of uncovering such treasures at restaurant auctions.  

1. Understand the Auction Process  

Before attending an auction, familiarize yourself with how it works. Auctions can be live, online, or a hybrid of both. Research the auction house's rules, preview schedules, and bidding requirements. Most restaurant auctions provide a catalog or list of items beforehand, which can help you plan your strategy and identify potential deals.  

2. Research the Items in Advance 

Once you have the auction catalog, do your homework. Look up the retail prices and market demand for the items you’re interested in. For instance, a lightly used commercial oven or walk-in refrigerator can save you thousands compared to buying a new one. Hidden gems often include specialty equipment like sous-vide machines or artisanal bread proofers, which are valuable to niche restaurateurs.  

3. Inspect During Preview Days  

Preview days are your chance to examine items closely. Bring a checklist and inspect the condition, model, and age of the equipment. Check for signs of wear and tear, such as rust, dents, or frayed cords. Some items may look worn but still have a lot of life left, making them excellent hidden gems.   

Don’t forget smaller items. Utensils, baking molds, and specialty glassware are often overlooked but can add tremendous value to your business or personal kitchen.  

4. Spot Rare or Vintage Items  

Restaurant auctions often feature unique or vintage items, such as antique bar stools, rustic wooden tables, or decorative light fixtures. These pieces can add character to your restaurant or home. Look for items that stand out or have craftsmanship that is hard to replicate.  

Vintage signs, branded memorabilia, and even unusual kitchen gadgets can be goldmines for collectors or those aiming for a distinctive aesthetic.  

5. Assess Resale Potential 

Hidden gems aren’t just about what you can use; they’re also about what you can resell. Some items at restaurant auctions are highly sought after in secondary markets. For example, rare kitchen equipment, high-quality knives, or premium espresso machines can fetch a tidy profit if you’re willing to resell them.  

6. Focus on Multipurpose Equipment  

Items that can serve multiple functions are often undervalued at restaurant auctions. A commercial mixer, for example, might be labeled for baking but can also be used for mixing sauces or grinding meat with the right attachments. Multipurpose equipment offers flexibility and better returns on your investment.  

7. Stay Updated on Trends 

Certain types of equipment or décor may be in high demand due to current restaurant trends. For example, open-kitchen concepts often require aesthetically pleasing cookware, while the rise in farm-to-table dining has increased demand for rustic or eco-friendly furniture. Being aware of such trends can help you identify which items might become hidden gems.  

8. Set a Budget and Stick to It  

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of an auction and overbid. Hidden gems lose their value if you pay too much for them. Set a clear budget for each item and be disciplined about sticking to it.  

9. Network with Industry Experts  

Networking with chefs, restaurateurs, and equipment specialists can provide insights into what’s truly valuable at restaurant auctions. They might point out items you didn’t consider or help you evaluate whether an item is a gem or a dud.  

10. Be Patient and Strategic  

Finally, patience is key. Some of the best deals are made toward the end of the auction when competition dwindles. Keep an eye on items that initially didn’t attract much attention; you might scoop them up at a bargain.  

Conclusion  

Spotting hidden gems at restaurant auctions requires a mix of preparation, knowledge, and a keen eye for value. Whether you’re looking to outfit a new restaurant, enhance your current setup, or score unique items for personal use, these tips will help you identify treasures that others might overlook. Happy bidding!

The rise of convenience-based eating habits and the growing popularity of ready-to-eat snacks across regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are significant factors contributing to this expansion.

One of the primary catalysts behind the market’s expansion is the shift toward healthier snack alternatives. As consumers become more health-conscious, they seek products with lower fat, fewer artificial additives, and cleaner ingredient labels. Extruded snacks offer a wide range of products, including options that are baked, gluten-free, high in protein, or made from alternative grains such as quinoa and rice. This trend is particularly evident among millennials and Gen Z, who are more inclined toward healthy and on-the-go snack options.

Key Drivers of the Extruded Snacks Market

Health and Wellness Trends: Increasing health awareness among consumers is one of the most significant drivers of the extruded snacks market. Many extruded snacks are marketed as low-fat, low-calorie, and high in fiber, appealing to health-conscious individuals looking to reduce their intake of processed foods. Additionally, the inclusion of whole grains, vegetables, and plant-based ingredients in these snacks has further boosted their popularity among health-conscious consumers.

Convenience and On-the-Go Lifestyles: The busy lifestyles of modern consumers demand products that are quick and easy to consume. Extruded snacks, such as puffed chips, baked crackers, and snack bars, are portable, shelf-stable, and ready to eat. This convenience factor makes them especially attractive to working professionals, students, and busy parents who are often on the go.

Innovations in Flavors and Product Variations: Continuous innovation in flavors and textures has also played a significant role in driving the extruded snacks market. Manufacturers have introduced an array of exciting flavors, from classic cheese to exotic spices, to cater to diverse taste preferences. Furthermore, new product formulations, such as plant-based snacks or protein-enriched varieties, have opened new consumer segments.

Rising Disposable Income in Emerging Markets: Emerging economies, particularly in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa, have seen a rise in disposable incomes. This growing affluence has led to higher consumption of processed and packaged foods, including extruded snacks. As the middle class expands in these regions, the demand for affordable, convenient, and flavorful snack options continues to rise.

Sustainability Concerns: Consumers today are more environmentally conscious than ever before. Many companies in the extruded snacks market are adopting sustainable practices, such as using eco-friendly packaging or sourcing ingredients from sustainable farms. This trend aligns with consumer preferences for brands that prioritize environmental responsibility, further boosting the market demand.

Industry Insights and Future Outlook

The future of the extruded snacks market looks promising, with continued innovation expected to drive growth. The demand for plant-based, high-protein, and organic extruded snacks is likely to grow as consumers seek healthier alternatives. Additionally, manufacturers are exploring new ingredients, such as insects and seaweed, to create unique snack options that cater to niche markets.

In terms of regional growth, North America and Europe are expected to remain dominant markets due to their established snack cultures and higher consumer spending. However, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate, fueled by increasing urbanization, rising disposable income, and a shift toward modern snack foods.

Conclusion

The extruded snacks market is on a robust growth path, with multiple drivers shaping its future. Health-conscious consumers, a growing demand for convenience, continuous innovation, and increased disposable incomes in emerging markets are all contributing factors to the expansion of this sector.

How To Start Candle Making Business in India

Starting a candle making business in India can be a rewarding venture, combining creativity with entrepreneurship. The growing demand for candles, driven by their usage in decor, aromatherapy, and gifting, makes this a promising market. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you kickstart your candle-making business in India.

1. Understanding the Candle Market in India The Indian candle market is thriving, with a steady increase in demand for both decorative and aromatic candles. Consumers are increasingly opting for eco-friendly, handmade, and designer candles, creating opportunities for small-scale businesses. Research current market trends, target customer segments, and potential competitors to carve out your niche.

2. Developing a Business Plan A well-thought-out business plan is the foundation of your venture. Outline your business goals, target audience, budget, and marketing strategies. Consider the types of candles you want to produce — whether decorative, scented, or therapeutic — and identify your unique selling proposition (USP) that will differentiate your brand in the market.

3. Legal Formalities and Registration Before you begin production, ensure your business is legally compliant. Register your business under the appropriate legal structure, such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or private limited company. Obtain necessary licenses, such as a trade license from the local municipal authority and GST registration if your turnover exceeds the specified limit.

4. Setting Up Your Workspace You don’t need a large space to start a candle-making business; a small room or a dedicated workspace at home can suffice. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and has ample storage for raw materials like wax, wicks, molds, and fragrances. Invest in basic equipment like a double boiler, thermometer, weighing scale, and safety gear.

5. Sourcing Raw Materials Quality raw materials are crucial for producing premium candles. Identify reliable suppliers for wax (paraffin, soy, or beeswax), wicks, molds, dyes, fragrances, and essential oils. Consider sourcing eco-friendly materials to cater to the growing demand for sustainable products. Buying in bulk can also help reduce costs.

6. Mastering the Art of Candle Making Candle making is both an art and a science. Experiment with different waxes, fragrances, and molds to create unique designs. Focus on achieving the right balance of fragrance and burn time. You can start with simple designs and gradually move to more complex patterns and techniques like layering, embedding, or carving.

7. Branding and Packaging Your brand identity plays a crucial role in attracting customers. Develop a brand name, logo, and packaging that reflects the essence of your candles. Invest in attractive and eco-friendly packaging that not only protects your products but also appeals to your target audience. Personalized labels and tags can add a unique touch.

8. Pricing Your Products Pricing is a critical factor in your business’s success. Consider the cost of raw materials, labor, packaging, and other overheads while determining your pricing strategy. Research your competitors’ prices and aim for a balance between affordability and profitability. Offering a range of price points can cater to different customer segments.

9. Marketing and Sales Strategies In today’s digital age, online presence is key to reaching a wider audience. Create a professional website and leverage social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to showcase your products. Collaborate with influencers, participate in local markets, and offer promotions to boost visibility. You can also explore listing your products on e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Etsy.

10. Scaling Your Business Once you’ve established a steady customer base, consider expanding your product range or venturing into related segments like candle accessories or gift sets. You can also explore B2B opportunities by supplying to hotels, spas, and event planners. Continuous innovation and customer feedback will help you grow and sustain your business in the long run.

Conclusion Starting a candle-making business in India is an exciting opportunity to blend creativity with entrepreneurship. With the right planning, quality products, and effective marketing, you can carve a niche for yourself in this growing market. Remember, patience and persistence are key as you embark on this entrepreneurial journey.
