FAQ
What work fits NAICS 322130?
- Producing containerboard parent rolls to specified basis weight and liner/fluting constructions for subsequent box converting operations.
- Manufacturing folding boxboard sheets with defined caliper, ply structure, and surface strength for printed packaging of program-supplied products.
- Running custom surface treatments or coatings on paperboard for moisture resistance or adhesive-friendly surfaces and supplying mill-run coated sheets to specification.
- Providing mill test certificates, lot traceability, and dimensional tolerance reports for paperboard deliveries with specified recycled fiber content.
When is NAICS 322130 a weak fit?
- Corrugated box converting and die-cutting: missing upstream paperboard manufacturing because box converting uses purchased board to fabricate finished boxes rather than produce paperboard.
- Wastepaper collection or brokerage: missing pulping and paperboard production because recycling and collection supply raw material rather than manufacture paperboard grades.
- Commercial printing and finishing of pre-made board: missing the pulping/forming/pressing manufacturing steps because printing and finishing operate on supplied paperboard stock.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 322130?
- Specifications list required basis weight, caliper tolerance, furnish composition (percentage recycled fiber), and required brightness or surface properties for paperboard rolls or sheets.
- Contract requires mill certificates of analysis, lot traceability, and quality assurance documentation including tensile and tear strength test results.
- Delivery and packaging terms specify roll core diameter, maximum roll weight, palletization method, slit or cut-to-size tolerances, and acceptable edge trim allowances.
