The present work describes and analyses the context of the paper and paper board sector and that of wood, paper and paper board wrapping and packaging sector, integrating the phases of industrial transformation up to the final products. The production flows are characterized, as well as the structure of the enterprises and workforce at the different phases of the productive cycle. The specificities associated with the domestic and external markets are also analysed. The description of the variables shows the economic importance of these sectors in the national context, attesting the significance of the exportations, as well as the generalized good performance of macroeconomic indicators as, for example, the labour productivity and the salaries.

Keywords : Wood; paper; paper board; wrapping and packaging; macroeconomic; markets; production; import; export; domestic consumption.
