Census lists 8 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 51311, 51312, 51313 and 51314. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Across its national industries Census lists 59 index entries; typical ones are greeting card publishers and art print (except exclusive Internet publishing) publishers.
For example, businesses known as newspaper publishers are classified in 51311 (Newspaper Publishers) instead.
County Business Patterns publishes no national count for it, either because the code is out of the survey's scope or because the figures are suppressed to protect individual businesses.
