How New Factories Can Start Baby Diaper Production Line with Entry-Level Shape Machines

Introduction
Starting a baby diaper production business is exciting — but for new investors in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, it’s also full of questions:
– What kind of machine should I buy?
– How much money do I need to prepare?

– What if I want to expand later?
