Manufacture of paper and paper products
What this code covers
Use this division for manufacture of paper and paper products when the main activity includes The manufacture of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected processes. More than one activity is often carried out in a single unit. and The manufacture of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibres from other matter in wood, or dissolving and de-inking of used paper, and mixing in small amounts of reagents to reinforce the binding of the fibres.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.

Which codes should I compare before choosing 17?
Compare 17 with 10 Manufacture of food products, 11 Manufacture of beverages, and 12 Manufacture of tobacco products when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this division for manufacture of food products when the main activity includes This division is organised by activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, fats and oils, milk products, grain mill products, animal feed and other food products. Production can be carried out for own account, as well as for third parties, as in custom slaughtering. and Some activities are considered manufacturing even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers’ own shop (for example, those activities performed in bakeries, pastry shops and prepared meat shops which sell their own production). However, where the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation, the unit is classified to section G.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of beverages when the main activity includes Manufacture of beverages. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of tobacco products when the main activity includes Manufacture of tobacco products. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of textiles when the main activity includes Preparation and spinning of textile fibres and Weaving of textiles. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, including Manufacture of pulp and Manufacture of paper and paperboard. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of articles of paper and paperboard, including Manufacture of corrugated paper, paperboard and containers of paper and paperboard, Manufacture of household and sanitary goods and of toilet requisites, and Manufacture of paper stationery. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this section for mANUFACTURING when the main activity includes The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that it is ready for use or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; aluminium wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products. and Manufacture of specialised components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialised components and parts of machinery and equipment (for example, engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
