About manufacture of corrugated paper, paperboard and containers of paper and paperboard

NACE code 17.21 covers the manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard, as well as the production of containers made from these materials. This industry plays a vital role in the packaging and logistics sectors, providing essential materials for the transportation and storage of a wide range of goods. As a key component of the broader pulp, paper, and paper products industry, the 17.21 classification contributes significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques used in this industry involve the conversion of flat sheets of paper or paperboard into corrugated materials. This is typically achieved through a process of scoring, cutting, and gluing the paper layers together to create a sturdy, three-dimensional structure. Specialized machinery, such as corrugating machines and die-cutting equipment, are used to shape and assemble the final products, which can range from simple boxes to complex packaging solutions.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard, and the production of containers, include raw materials such as wood pulp, recycled paper, and various adhesives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, as well as energy sources, to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 17.21 are corrugated paper and paperboard, as well as a wide range of containers and packaging products made from these materials. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 46.76 Wholesale of other intermediate products, 46.49 Wholesale of other household goods, and 16.23 Manufacture of other builders' carpentry and joinery, among others, who use the packaging solutions for the transportation, storage, and display of their own products.
