About globes
cpc code 32512 covers the production of globes, which are spherical representations of the Earth or other celestial bodies. Globes are essential tools for education, navigation, and geographic visualization, finding widespread use in schools, libraries, and government agencies. As a key component of the broader cartography and mapping industry, the globe manufacturing sector plays a vital role in disseminating geographic knowledge and supporting various industries that rely on spatial data.
Production process
The production of globes typically involves several key steps. First, the sphere is constructed using a variety of materials, such as plastic, paper, or metal. The surface of the globe is then printed with detailed maps, geographic features, and other relevant information. Advanced techniques may involve the use of digital printing or even 3D printing to create highly accurate and customized globes. Finally, the globe is assembled, often with a stand or mounting system, to create the final product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the globe manufacturing industry include raw materials such as plastic, paper, or metal for the sphere construction, as well as inks, dyes, and other printing materials for the surface decoration. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as printing presses, cutting tools, and assembly stations, are necessary for the production process. The industry also relies on geographic data, cartographic expertise, and design skills to create accurate and visually appealing globes.
Production outputs
The primary output of the globe manufacturing industry is, of course, globes themselves. These products are consumed by a variety of end-users, including 611210 Elementary and Secondary Schools, 519130 Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals, and 926120 Regulation and Administration of Transportation Programs. Globes may also be used as inputs for other industries, such as 339950 Sign Manufacturing or 339999 All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing.
