This major group covers businesses primarily engaged in producing pulp, paper, and related products. It includes the manufacturing of pulps from wood and other cellulose fibers, paper and paperboard mills, and facilities that convert these materials into finished goods such as paper bags, boxes, and envelopes. Companies that produce coated or laminated paper, plastic film bags, and sanitary paper products are also part of this category. However, certain specialty papers—such as abrasive, carbon, or photosensitive papers—are classified under different SIC codes.
