CPC v2.1 Code: 42931

About tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers (other than for compressed or liquefied gas) of iron, steel or aluminium, of a capacity not exceeding 300 litres, not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment

cpc code 42931 covers a wide range of metal containers used for storage and transportation purposes across various industries. These containers play a crucial role in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient movement of goods, raw materials, and finished products. The demand for these containers is driven by factors such as industrialization, international trade, and the need for secure and durable packaging solutions.

Production process

The production of containers under cpc code 42931 typically involves a series of metalworking processes. This includes cutting, shaping, and forming the metal sheets or plates into the desired container shapes, followed by welding, riveting, or other joining techniques to assemble the components. Depending on the specific container type, additional processes such as painting, coating, or adding lids and closures may be employed to enhance the containers' durability, appearance, and functionality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of containers under cpc code 42931 include raw materials such as 41110 Iron and steel in primary forms, 41120 Ferro-alloys, and 41210 Aluminium in primary forms. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as metal-cutting tools, welding machines, and container-forming presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metalworking and container fabrication.

Production outputs

The containers produced under cpc code 42931 are used for a wide range of applications, including the storage and transportation of liquids, solids, and gases. These containers are commonly used in industries such as 42920 Manufacture of packaging of plastics, 46210 Wholesale of agricultural raw materials and live animals, and 46900 Non-specialised wholesale trade. The outputs of this industry can be further classified under other cpc codes, such as 42932 Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, of iron, steel or aluminium, of a capacity exceeding 300 litres, not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment and 42933 Containers for compressed or liquefied gas, of metal, depending on the specific characteristics and capacities of the containers.
