FAQ

What work fits NAICS 322211?
  • Production of custom corrugated shipping boxes fabricated to supplied dielines with specified flute profile and construction.
  • Manufacture of die-cut corrugated trays, partitions, and inserts for equipment kits and internal cushioning.
  • Supply of padded mailers and single- or double-wall cartons with specified edge crush or burst strength ratings.
  • Short-run and production-run box orders with specified dimensional tolerances, glue patterns, and finished print or label-ready surfaces.
When is NAICS 322211 a weak fit?
  • Folding paperboard box manufacturing: requirement focuses on printed folding cartons made from solid paperboard rather than corrugated conversion and corrugating processes.
  • Containerboard or pulp production: solicitation requires large-scale paper or containerboard mill operations rather than box converting and finishing.
  • Commercial printing as primary work: scope centers on high-volume graphic printing services rather than corrugated box fabrication and die-cutting.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 322211?
  • Technical specs reference corrugated fiberboard, flute type (singlewall, doublewall), required ECT or burst-strength values, and sheet construction.
  • Requirement includes delivery of CAD dielines, prototypes or pre-production samples, and acceptance testing of box strength and dimensional accuracy.
  • Line items specify die-cutting patterns, glued or stitched closures, and quantity breaks for short-run versus production-run pricing.
