About paper and paperboard; self-adhesive, in rolls or sheets, other than goods of heading no. 4803, 4809, or 4810

HS code 481141 covers a broad range of self-adhesive paper and paperboard products, excluding certain specialized types. These materials are widely used in the packaging, labeling, and advertising industries, playing a crucial role in the global supply chain. The versatility and adaptability of these products make them an essential component of many manufacturing and distribution processes across diverse sectors.

Production process

The production of self-adhesive paper and paperboard under HS code 481141 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base paper or paperboard is manufactured using traditional pulp and paper-making techniques. This material is then coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which can be either solvent-based or water-based. The adhesive is then covered with a release liner, allowing the material to be easily handled and applied. Finally, the coated paper or paperboard is cut and slit into the desired sizes and formats for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 481141 products include pulp, paper, and paperboard as the base materials, as well as a range of adhesives, release liners, and specialized machinery. The pulp and paper industry provides the foundation, while the adhesive and coating suppliers play a crucial role in the final product characteristics. Additionally, cutting and slitting equipment, as well as packaging and logistics resources, are necessary to prepare the self-adhesive materials for distribution.

Production outputs

The self-adhesive paper and paperboard products covered under HS code 481141 are primarily used in the manufacturing of labels, stickers, decals, and other adhesive-backed materials. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 4821 Labels and tags, 4911 Printed matter, n.e.c., and 4901 Printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter, among others. The versatility of these materials allows them to be integrated into a diverse array of applications, from product labeling to industrial and commercial signage.
