Which code does this activity belong in?
Paperboard Container Manufacturing covers establishments that convert paperboard into rigid containers such as boxes, corrugated sheets, and drums through cutting and shaping. The boundary with Paper Bag and Coated and Treated Paper Manufacturing turns on the end product: containers formed from paperboard belong here, while bags made from paper or coated materials, and surface-coated paper and paperboard, are classified in Paper Bag and Coated and Treated Paper Manufacturing. Stationery products and other non-container converted paper goods are classified elsewhere.
