CPC v2.1 Code: 44914

About bookbinding machinery; machinery for type-setting and the like; printing machinery and machines for uses ancillary to printing (except office type sheet-fed offset printing machinery)

cpc code 44914 encompasses a diverse range of machinery and equipment used in the printing, publishing, and bookbinding industries. These specialized machines play a crucial role in the production and post-processing of printed materials, from books and magazines to packaging and labels. As a key component of the broader manufacturing and logistics sectors, this industry supports a wide range of economic activities and contributes to the efficient distribution of information and goods.

Production process

The production techniques employed in this industry involve the assembly and operation of complex machinery designed for specific printing, binding, and finishing tasks. This may include offset printing presses, typesetting equipment, folding and cutting machines, and specialized bookbinding equipment. These machines are often highly automated and integrated, allowing for efficient and high-volume production of printed materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include raw materials such as paper, ink, and binding supplies, as well as specialized machinery and equipment. Manufacturers in this sector rely on a steady supply of these inputs, as well as skilled technicians and operators to maintain and operate the equipment. Additionally, access to reliable power sources and transportation infrastructure is essential for the efficient production and distribution of the industry's outputs.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the various printed materials and finished products, such as books, magazines, packaging, and labels. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 45111 Publishing of books, periodicals and other publishing, 46492 Wholesale of printed matter and stationery, and 47610 Retail sale of books in specialised stores. The machinery and equipment produced under cpc code 44914 also serve as inputs for these downstream industries, enabling the efficient production and distribution of printed materials.
