Paper Industry

The paper industry produces paper products such as printing paper, condenser paper, tea bags, paper towels, and toilet paper. Characteristics of paper include the material, which consists of a chemical composition specifically formulated for usage, color, thickness, and width and can be shipped per customer's roll diameter specifications.

An example of a style item in the paper industry is a paper towel. Characteristics of a roll of paper towels include:

  • Number of ply sheets, such as 1 or 2.

  • Size of the ply sheet, such as 11 x 11 inches.

  • Thickness of each ply sheet.

  • Number of sheets per roll, such as 90.

  • Type of core (diameter and material).

The paper is manufactured, plied, cored, and cut to customer specifications. The rolls of paper towels are then packaged on a pallet and shipped to the packaging and distribution warehouse. Paper towels can be packaged and sold in single rolls or packages of 3, 6, or 12.
