Group 170 - Manufacture of paper and paper products

It is useful when two or three neighboring activities look similar but should not be collapsed into one code.

Use this group when the activity sits between similar classes such as Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, Manufacture of other articles of paper and paperboard, and Manufacture of Corrugated Paper and Paperboard and of Containers of Paper and Paperboard. The safest choice is the one whose wording matches the actual production, service or operating model most closely.
