HS v2022 Code: 844120

About machines; for making bags, sacks or envelopes of paper pulp, paper or paperboard

HS code 844120 covers machines used for the production of paper bags, sacks, and envelopes. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader paper and packaging sector, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of industries, from retail to logistics. These machines are instrumental in converting raw paper materials into functional and versatile packaging products, contributing to the efficient distribution and containment of goods across global supply chains.

Production process

The main production techniques for HS code 844120 involve the use of specialized machinery to transform paper pulp, paper, or paperboard into finished bags, sacks, and envelopes. This typically includes processes such as cutting, folding, gluing, and printing, all carried out with high precision and automation to ensure consistent quality and output.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of machines under HS code 844120 include raw materials such as 4801 Newsprint, in rolls or sheets, 4802 (Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), and 4804 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 4802 or 4803. Additionally, these machines require specialized components, such as cutting blades, folding mechanisms, and adhesive applicators, as well as skilled labor to operate and maintain the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 844120 is the production of paper bags, sacks, and envelopes. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 4819 Cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers; box files, letter trays, and similar articles, of paper or paperboard of a kind used in offices, shops or the like, 4821 Paper or paperboard labels of all kinds, whether or not printed, and 4822 (Bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports of paper pulp, paper or paperboard (whether or not perforated or hardened)), among others.
