Description
Code 3270 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing various products such as fasteners (for apparel, textile or industrial), eyelets, straight pins (for sewing), thumbtacks, nails, razor blades, paper clips (wire type), hair pins, hooks and eyes (clothing type), cigar and/or cigarette lighters, lock washers, nails, rivets, safety pins (for sewing), safety razor blades, sequins, snap clothing fasteners, staples, spangles, watch hands and zippers.
Some employers may perform press work, however, a good amount of the manufacturing involves wire forming and automatic clip machines. Reels of drawn wire and light gauge sheet strips are received from others and fed into machines automatically. The finished products are dropped into boxes and/or baskets. Some of the products may require additional machining such as piercing, trimming, plating, annealing and deburring.
