About paper and paperboard; uncoated, fluting paper other than semi-chemical or straw, rolls or sheets

HS code 480519 covers a crucial segment of the paper and paperboard industry, encompassing uncoated fluting paper other than semi-chemical or straw. This type of paper is primarily used as the middle layer in corrugated cardboard and boxes, providing the essential structural support and cushioning. As a key component in the packaging and logistics supply chain, the 480519 industry plays a vital role in facilitating the safe and efficient transportation of goods across the global economy.

Production process

The production of 480519 fluting paper typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include wood pulp, recycled paper, and various chemical additives, are processed and refined to create the desired paper stock. This stock is then fed into a paper machine, where it is formed into a continuous web, pressed, and dried. The resulting paper is then wound onto rolls or cut into sheets, ready for use in the manufacture of corrugated cardboard and other packaging materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 480519 industry include wood pulp, recycled paper, and various chemical additives such as sizing agents, fillers, and dyes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized paper-making machinery, including pulp refiners, paper machines, and winding equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are also essential for the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 480519 industry is uncoated fluting paper, which is then used as the middle layer in the production of 441310 Corrugated paper and paperboard, 441320 Sacks and bags, of paper, and other corrugated packaging materials. The 480519 fluting paper may also be used in the manufacture of 481910 Cartons, boxes and cases, of corrugated paper or paperboard.
