Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 33461 covers establishments that manufacture blank magnetic and optical media or that mass duplicate content onto such media. The key distinction from Communications Equipment Manufacturing (3342) is that 33461 focuses on the physical media itself and the copying process, whereas communications equipment manufacturers produce the devices and infrastructure used to transmit or receive signals rather than the storage media that records or stores data.
