Which code does this activity belong in?
Support Activities for Printing comprises establishments performing preparatory and finishing services for the printing industry. These establishments handle prepress work such as platemaking and typesetting, and postpress services such as embossing, die cutting, and folding. This code excludes printing establishments themselves, which are classified in Printing; printing establishments may perform some postprinting activities in-house but are distinguished by their primary engagement in the actual printing process rather than support services alone.
