Cartotecnica

In this context my translation is:
paper-making/papermaking/paper processing industry

Unfortunately in Italian there are many terms that translate 'cartotecnica'.
Some of them are general meaning terms and some are more sector specific. See links below.

Many people confuse "Cartotecnica" (processing / assembly of cardboard paper and cardboard, starting from the spread sheets) with "Cartiera" (production of cardboard paper from cellulose).

Even more so, the fact that there is an industrial difference in the sector between Italy / Europe and the USA / China / rest of the world.
In Italy the categories are well differentiated: the Paper Mill produces the paper which then gives the Printing Works that then give it to the Cartotecniche who fold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_machine) and build the volume / final calendar.
In the USA, on the other hand, most printers do paper converting work internally, so those who print are also those who fold and assemble.
Also in other translation sites is this mixture of terms:

Rarely, however, I found the term that in my opinion explains in more detail what is a Cartotecnica, or "paper processing industry" also demonstrating the fact that there is actually no single English word that translates uniquely " stationery ".

Therefore, it is always advisable, when possible, to identify which companies / applications are half-way between multiple sectors or are prevalent.
For example, a company that produces "packaged" cardboard-cutting plants (with which entire cardboard pallets are trimmed), it can be said that it makes machinery for paper mills and paper converting.
Instead, a company that deals with paper converting and "finishing", namely plasticizing and final painting, can be said to deal mainly with "finishing" rather than paper converting.
An artisan company that mainly produces paper products for publishing, instead it is a bookbinding.

IMHO should therefore differentiate between:
- paper industry (pulping & papermaking) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulping
- paper processing industry
- publishing industry
- bookbinding
- finishing
