Industry Code: 27300
This industry includes businesses that manufacture cardboard boxes and tubing and also includes businesses manufacturing paper, burlap, jute and cotton bags.
Operation Details:
Cardboard boxes and tubing:
The cardboard box manufacturing process consists of huge rolls of paper (the weight of paper depends on intended use) being fed to a corrugator, carried by conveyors to where the face and back are automatically glued on, and cut to the desired width and length. The pieces are then printed with the customer's advertising using printing presses. The product then goes to a finishing area where it is cut and scored to box size on die presses. Other machines fold and glue the box or staple it in a stitcher. Some boxes include a wax coating process for the use of liquid/meat packaging. The boxes are stacked, baled, stored and later shipped in a compressed state, to be assembled by the customer.
The manufacturing of tubes is very similar to that of corrugated boxes. The equipment used includes tube winding machines, slitting machines and waxing machines.
Paper bags:
The manufacturing of paper bags is a fully automated process. Paper is fed into rollers to start the process. The rollers guide the paper through a continuous process which folds, seals, prints, cuts, bottoms and stacks the paper bags. These stacks are then moved to a warehouse, shrink wrapped and trucked to the customer. The bags could be five layers thick and have a polyethylene liner inside. There are different types of paper bags such as pinched bottom, flat bottom and having spouts installed.
Burlap, jute and cotton bags:
Burlap, jute and cotton are used in bag manufacturing. Bags vary in size, weight and closeness of knit to accommodate such commodities as vegetables, seed, fertilizer, etc. The material comes in various widths and weights on bolts, which are joined together onto large rolls of 2,000 yards or more. Printing, cutting, sewing and folding the bags to various specifications is done by machine automatically. A machine then turns the bag so that the seam is on the inside and printing is on the outside.
The workers for all the processes may consist of process and equipment operators; quality control inspectors; graphic designers; press operators; and maintenance, shipping and receiving, delivery and administrative staff.
Underwriting Considerations:
The warehousing of the goods manufactured is a common activity and is part of this industry. The selling of related shipping supplies (i.e. tape, labels, staples, etc.) is included, when sold in conjunction with products the business manufactures.
