Manufacture of other articles of paper and paperboard - a catch-all for paper converters making things that don't fit the neater boxes: filter paper, egg trays, paper tubes and cores, labels backing, gaskets and moulded pulp packaging. Typically small and mid-sized converting firms running specialist machinery, often family-owned, sitting alongside box-makers and the wider packaging supply chain. Good prospecting territory as packaging buyers and converters cluster together.
