32213

Analysis

NAICS 32213 is the 2022 NAICS industry for paperboard mills, part of 3221 (Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Mills).

It has only one more detailed code, 322130, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 179 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 38,290 people at an average annual payroll of $99,652 per employee (84th percentile of national industries). 7% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 3 codes at this level within Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Mills, with 44.5% of them.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 0% and employment rose 4%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
