Exclusive Commentary

Paperboard Container Manufacturing [NAICS 32221] This is a rollup classification that also includes the sub-NAICS categories Corrugated and Solid Fiber Box Manufacturing (NAICS 32211), Folding Paperboard Box Manufacturing (NAICS 32212), and Other Paperboard Container Manufacturing (NAICS 32219), which are covered in more detail in individual data and commentary sheets.

The Bureau of the Census definition for this business classification:

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in converting paperboard into containers without manufacturing paperboard. These establishments use corrugating, cutting, and shaping machinery to form paperboard into containers. Products made by these establishments include boxes, corrugated sheets, pads, pallets, paper dishes, and fiber drums and reels.

The commentary below refers to the aggregate data. Each NAICS is covered in separate commentary and data sheets.

Geographic Distribution

• California (10.1%), Ohio (7.5%), and Texas (6.6%) are the three biggest states for

paperboard container manufacturers.

• Chicago-Naperville-Elgin (5.3%), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (4.2%), and New York-

Newark-Jersey City (3.9%), and are the top three metro areas for paperboard container

Commentary (continued)

Technology Impacts and Competitive Trends Specific trends vary according to creative market. The highlights:

Corrugated and solid fiber box manufacturing:

• Software prototyping of packaging such as boxes results in innovative designs.

New box designs and configurations can optimize logistics of transporting

packages, esp. from overseas manufacturers.

• Environmental concerns becoming more important in box conversion.

Environmental benefits often the byproduct of more efficient and lower-cost

manufacturing techniques (i.e., reducing water consumption).

• Ecommerce driving demand for more and newer types of corrugated boxes.

Change in demand for different sizes—shipped to consumer vs. shipped to retailer.

Distinction between “for retail” and “for ecommerce” packaging materials.

• The latter doesn’t need eye-catching graphics.

Rengo Gemini Packaging System —used by Amazon, among other mail-order and

ecommerce sites—automatically adjusts the height of boxes according to the

merchandise being ordered/shipped.

• Digital inkjet corrugated printing systems were the Big Thing at drupa 2016.

Increase in number of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and other “customization” and

versioning trends reducing run lengths of corrugated materials.

Digital devices also ideal for hard prototyping (vs. software prototyping).

• “Smart packaging”—which incorporates some kind of often electronic functionality—on

the rise.

Packaging Digest identifies two kinds of smart packaging:

• “Active packaging” offers capabilities such as moisture control.

• “Intelligent packaging” offers capabilities that indicate status or

environmental/product changes—such as whether a temperature change

has taken place (vital in pharmaceutical and food shipping).

Smart packaging now has its own new association: the Active & Intelligent

Packaging Industry Association (AIPIA).

• Packaging also making increased use of Quick Response (QR) codes and other smartphone-

scannable graphics, which requires higher-quality printing and, therefore, corrugated

surfaces.

NAICS 32221

Commentary (continued) Competitive Trends

• According to 2014 research by Smithers Pira, demand for corrugated packaging has been increasing by more than 4% annually and is expected to amount to almost 115 million tons worth an estimated $176 billion by 2019.

Manufacturers looking to reduce shipping/transportation weights/costs.

Turning to lighter weight boxes.

In Western Europe, finished board weights have been reduced by an average of 5 gsm, according to data from FEFCO.

On the other hand, heavier corrugated material can replace wooden crates, also helping reduce transportation costs.

• Retail-ready packaging (RRP) had been poised for substantial growth—although the current slump in retail may adversely impact demand.

• New liner technologies improve reproduction of graphics on retail-ready packages and associated point-of-sale (POS) materials.

Folding paperboard box manufacturing:

• Migration of chemicals and other materials through paperboard/cardboard has been identified as a serious concern for food and pharmaceutical packaging.

Increased emphasis on anti-migration barriers and other technologies to reduce/eliminate contamination.

• Digital printing of cartons is becoming common.

Accompanied by laser die-cutting to handle shorter runs.

Growth of small boutique and craft businesses—such as microbreweries—fueling demand for high-quality, shorter-run packaging materials.

• Ecommerce driving demand for more and newer types of cartons.

Change in demand for different sizes—shipped to consumer vs. shipped to retailer.

Distinction between “for retail” and “for ecommerce” packaging materials.

• The latter doesn’t need eye-catching graphics.

• As in corrugated packaging, “smart packaging”—which incorporates some kind of often electronic functionality—on the rise on folding cartons.

Packaging Digest identifies two kinds of smart packaging:

• “Active packaging” offers capabilities such as moisture control.

• “Intelligent packaging” offers capabilities that indicate status or environmental/product changes—such as whether a temperature change has taken place (vital in pharmaceutical and food shipping).

Smart packaging now has its own new association: the Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association (AIPIA).

• Folding cartons also making increased use of Quick Response (QR) codes and other smartphone-scannable graphics, which requires higher-quality printing and, therefore, corrugated surfaces.

Commentary (continued)

• Specialty enhancements for retail-ready cartons—like 3D, lenticular imaging, “digital embellishments” (a la Scodfix or MGI)—also becoming important differentiators in retail environments.

Ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) coatings and other effects also important elements for folding cartons.

• “Unboxing”—recording the removal of a new product (like a video game) from a package and posting it on social media—is a trend. Packaging needs to be ready for its close-up.

• According to Smithers Pira research, healthcare and tobacco products (an ironic combination) are the two largest uses of folding cartons.

Dry and frozen foods also major product categories.

• Manufacturers are striving to reduce overall amount of packaging for a given product.

For reasons of both cost reduction and environmental sustainability.

• Growth of single-person households—especially in Europe—is driving demand for single-serving food packages.

• Introduction off digital printing and “simplified” production allows traditional commercial printers to enter into packaging printing/decoration market.

Barriers to entry still include brand trust, navigating regulatory issues, especially with regard to food and drug packaging.

Other paperboard container manufacturing:

• Products includes in this category include:

Fiber cans and drums (i.e., all-fiber, nonfiber ends of any material) made from purchased paperboard.

Milk cartons.

Sanitary food containers.

Egg cartons.

• Liquid packaging market is a substantial one.

I.e., water, soft drinks, dairy products, and fruit juices.

Single-serve, “grab-and-go” liquid cartons and containers driven by lifestyle/convenience trends.

• Paperboard cartons for liquid packaging face competition for various types of plastics, like PET.

• Top concerns for paperboard cartons esp. in food/liquid packaging is migration of chemicals and other materials.

• Food preservation top concern.

• Recyclability of food/liquid cartons is becoming of chief importance.

• These packages tend to be retail-ready vs. ecommerce type.

Brands utilize innovative designs/graphics to attract consumers.

• Functionality of these cartons is also important.

I.e., ease of opening for older consumers.

Key Terms and Definitions

Annual Survey of Manufactures (Source) - The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) provides key intercensal measures of manufacturing activity, products, and

location for the public and private sectors. The ASM provides the best measure of current U.S. manufacturing industry

outputs, inputs, operating status, and is the primary basis for updates of the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD). Census

Bureau staff and academic researchers use the LRD for micro data analysis.

Statistics are available on a sample universe of manufacturing establishments with one or more paid employees at any time

during the year for manufacturing classified in NAICS sectors 31–33. Employment, payroll, hours, cost of materials, receipts,

value added, capital expenditures, and relative standard errors data are available for the U.S. and states at the 2- through 4-

digit NAICS levels. Product shipments value data are available at the 6-digit North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS) level and 7-digit NAICS product class levels based on NAICS.

The ASM is conducted annually, except for years ending in 2 and 7, at which time ASM data are included in the manufacturing

sector of the Economic Census.

Consolidated (or Combined) Statistical Area (CSA) - Consolidated Statistical Areas are a combination of metropolitan areas that have significant economic interaction and

dependency. PrintStats includes the top five CSAs in each report based on total population, without regard to the number of

industry establishments. These CSAs are very large, and in fact, larger than many countries. These are the details of their

composition:

• New York CSA is the combination of these Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas: New York-Newark-

Jersey City, Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, New Haven-Milford, Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, Trenton,

Torrington, Kingston, East Stroudsburg

Content Creation (Source) - The contribution of information to any medium/media, especially to digital media for an end-user/audience in specific

contexts. “Content” can be text, photographic images, illustrations, graphic design, video, or any other intellectual property.

Typical forms of modern content creation include maintaining and updating web sites, blogging, photography, videography,

online commentary, the maintenance of social media accounts, and editing and distribution of digital media.

County Business Patterns [CBP] (Source) - CBP is an annual series that provides subnational economic data by industry. This series includes the number of

establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll.

Key Terms and Definitions (continued)

Demographics (Source) - The statistical characteristics of human populations (such as age or income) used especially to identify markets. In business, a

particular market or segment of the population.

Economic Census (Source) - The Economic Census is the U.S. Government's official five-year measure of American business and the economy. It is

conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and response is required by law.

Employee (Source) - An individual hired by another individual or business usually for wages or salary and in a position below the executive level.

Establishment (Source) - An establishment is a single physical location at which business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are

performed. It is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may consist of one or more establishments.

Estimate (Source) - A value that is usable for some purpose even if input data may be incomplete, uncertain, or unstable. The value is nonetheless

usable because it is derived from the best information available. Typically, deriving an estimate involves using the value of a

statistic derived from a sample to estimate the value of a corresponding population parameter. The sample provides

information that can be projected, through various formal or informal processes, to determine a range most likely to describe

the missing information.

Forecast (Source) - Forecasting is the use of historic data to determine the direction of future trends. Businesses use forecasting to determine

how to allocate their budgets or plan for anticipated expenses for an upcoming period of time. This is typically based on the

projected demand for the goods and services they offer.

In terms of PrintStats, the forecasts are limited to statistical trends based on past statistical data. They are not forecasts based

on industry surveys or assessment of economic, social, or technological changes. The PrintStats forecast data should be

viewed only as a starting point for a formal forecast process.

M3 Manufacturing Survey (Source) - The Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey provides broad-based, monthly statistical data on

economic conditions in the domestic manufacturing sector. The survey measures current industrial activity and provides an

indication of future business trends.

Metropolitan Area (Source) - A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metro area or commuter belt, is a region consisting of a densely populated

urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing. A metro area usually

comprises multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods, townships, boroughs, cities, towns, exurbs, suburbs,

counties, districts, states, and even nations like the eurodistricts. As social, economic, and political institutions have changed,

metropolitan areas have become key economic and political regions. Metropolitan areas include one or more urban areas, as

well as satellite cities, towns, and intervening rural areas that are socio-economically tied to the urban core, typically

measured by commuting patterns.

NAICS 32221

Key Terms and Definitions (continued)

Metropolitan Statistical Area [MSA] (Source) - In the United States, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a geographical region with a relatively high population density at

its core and close economic ties throughout the area. Such regions are neither legally incorporated as a city or town would

be, nor are they legal administrative divisions like counties or separate entities such as states. As such, the precise definition

of any given metropolitan area can vary with the source. A typical metropolitan area is centered on a single large city that

wields substantial influence over the region (e.g., Chicago or Atlanta). However, some metropolitan areas contain more than

one large city with no single municipality holding a substantially dominant position (e.g., Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex,

Norfolk-Virginia Beach [Hampton Roads], Riverside–San Bernardino [Inland Empire], or Minneapolis–Saint Paul).

MSAs are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and used by the Census Bureau and other Federal

government agencies for statistical purposes.

(See also Consolidated Statistical Area)

NAICS (Source) - The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying

business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business

economy.

Nonemployer Statistics (Source) - Nonemployer Statistics is an annual series that provides subnational economic data for businesses that have no paid

employees and are subject to Federal income tax. The data consist of the number of businesses and total receipts by industry.

Most nonemployers are self-employed individuals operating unincorporated businesses (known as sole proprietorships),

which may or may not be the owner's principal source of income.

The majority of all business establishments in the United States are nonemployers, yet these firms average less than 4

percent of all sales and receipts nationally. Due to their small economic impact, these firms are excluded from most other

Census Bureau business statistics (the primary exception being the Survey of Business Owners). The Nonemployers Statistics

series is the primary resource available to study the scope and activities of nonemployers at a detailed geographic level. For

complementary statistics on the firms that do have paid employees, refer to the County Business Patterns. Additional sources

of data on small businesses include the Economic Census, and the Statistics of U.S. Businesses.

Packaging (Source) - Packaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers

to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of

preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. In the graphic arts, packaging refers to the design,

manufacturing, and decoration (usually via printing and related technologies) of corrugated paperboard containers, folding

cardboard cartons and containers, paper bags, flexible plastic packaging, and other paper, paperboard, and plastic materials.

Payroll (Source) - Payroll is the sum total of all compensation a business must pay to its employees for a set period of time or on a given date.

Payroll is reported before deductions for social security, income tax, insurance, union dues, etc. This definition of payroll is

the same as that used by the Internal Revenue Service.

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages [QCEW] (Source) - The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program publishes a quarterly count of employment and wages

reported by employers covering more than 95 percent of U.S. jobs, available at the county, MSA, state, and national levels by

industry.

Quarterly Services Survey (Source) - The Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) is the only source of service industry indicator performance providing timely estimates

of revenue and expenses for selected service industries. The QSS is a principal economic indicator series that produces, for

selected service industries, quarterly estimates of total operating revenue and the percentage of revenue by class of

customer (government, business, consumers, and individuals). The survey also produces estimates of total operating

expenses from tax-exempt firms in industries that have a large not-for-profit component. In addition, for hospital services,

the survey estimates the number of inpatient days and discharges.

Region (Source) - Census Regions are groupings of states and the District of Columbia that subdivide the United States for the presentation of

Census data. There are four Census regions—Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Each of the four Census regions is

divided into two or more Census divisions. Each Census region is identified by a single-digit Census code. Puerto Rico and

the Island Areas are not part of any Census region or Census division.

PrintStats uses eight regions based on industrial economic activity rather than the Census regions. The 50 U.S. states and

District of Columbia are allocated as follows:

• New England: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont

• Mid-Eastern: Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia

• South Eastern: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,

Virginia
