Which code does this activity belong in?
Paper Mills comprises establishments whose primary activity is manufacturing paper from pulp, whether that pulp is manufactured in-house or purchased. The defining boundary separates paper production from paperboard production; establishments making paperboard are classified in Paperboard Mills. Paper Mills also differs from Pulp Mills, which comprises establishments that manufacture pulp but do not go on to make paper or paperboard from it. Converting paper after manufacture does not change the classification.
