Analysis
NAICS 32223 is the 2022 NAICS industry for stationery product manufacturing, part of 3222 (Converted Paper Product Manufacturing).
It has only one more detailed code, 322230, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 321 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 15,283 people at an average annual payroll of $60,951 per employee (34th percentile of national industries). 23% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 4th of the 4 codes at this level within Converted Paper Product Manufacturing, with 9.4% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 11% and employment fell 6%. 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.
