Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves visually inspecting or using measuring instruments on paper bag products on the manufacturing line to check for defects such as tears, dirt, and folds, and removing defective products.
Description
Paper bag inspectors perform appearance and dimensional inspections on paper bags coming from the manufacturing line, detecting and sorting out defects such as tears, dirt, dimensional defects, folds, and adhesion failures. Visual inspection is the main task, but measuring instruments such as rulers, calipers, and thickness gauges are also used to check dimensions and thickness. Inspections are often performed standing, requiring quick and accurate judgment of products flowing at a steady pace. Inspection results are entered into record sheets or systems and reported to supervisors. They may also make improvement proposals for the manufacturing process to reduce defect rates.
Future Outlook
Amid increasing demands for product quality, automation and AI inspections are advancing, but detailed visual inspections will continue to require human labor.
