Bathroom tissue, greeting cards, gift boxes, a magazine or the wrapping
paper you needed for the holidays are all everyday items that are economical
to purchase and appear to be so simple that you never even thought about how
they're made.
The fact is, that manufacturing high quality tissue and other useful paper
products is incredibly complex. Paper manufacturing involves the employment
of large labor forces, a steady flow of large quantities of numerous raw
|
materials, major capital investments in state-of-the-art equipment as well
as ongoing technological research and product development. It not only takes
vast amounts of resources to produce paper products, but it also requires an
extensive infrastructure to transport and market finished goods to
commercial and retail sales outlets.
The North American paper industry is an important manufacturing sector that
is a mayor contributor to jobs and national economic stability.
