Day 6 The Paper Bag Factory

Today we went Rocio(Fernando's Wife) workplace, she works in human resources for a company that makes paper bags...I would have never thought of the complexity of the process of making a paper bag until I toured this place. The raw product arrives (a big roll of special paper) and her company prints a design on it and constructs the paper with either glueing it together or sewing it...here are some pictures from our visit!
