PPC is making sure the paperboard packaging industry has a seat at the table!

Last week, PPC Industry Affairs Manager Tom Hendrickson attended legislative meetings in Albany, New York, to speak directly with lawmakers about the policy decisions shaping the future of packaging, including EPR, recyclability, and packaging legislation affecting our members and the broader industry.

As regulatory conversations continue to accelerate across the country, PPC remains actively engaged in supporting practical policy, educating decision-makers, and ensuring the voice of the paperboard packaging industry is represented where it matters most.

The best safety conversations usually don’t happen in presentations; they happen between the people who actually run plants and solve problems every day.

That’s exactly the goal of PPC’s upcoming Virtual Safety Roundtable on June 16 from 1–2 PM ET.

This is a chance for plant operators, production leaders, and safety professionals across the industry to connect directly with peers, share real-world challenges, discuss near-misses, and exchange ideas that can make an immediate impact on the floor. One of the biggest advantages of PPC membership is access to these kinds of conversations and the people behind them.

If safety is a priority for your business, your team should be part of this discussion.

What makes a company truly stand out isn’t just the packaging it produces — it’s the people and culture behind it.

During her recent visit to Curtis Packaging, PPC President Emily Leonczyk experienced firsthand what nearly 180 years of partnership, craftsmanship, and intentional leadership looks like in action. From the warmth of the welcome to the collaboration happening across every part of the organization, one thing became clear: Curtis Packaging has built something special.

Thank you to Don Droppo, Kerry Brown, and the entire Curtis Packaging team for the hospitality, insight, and conversations. Read Emily’s full reflection here: https://bit.ly/3RthgRL

There’s a big difference between hearing about folding cartons and actually seeing how everything comes together.

That’s what Boot Camp is designed to do.

Over two days, attendees went beyond the basics: learning directly from industry experts about the materials, technologies, processes, and decisions that shape the cartons consumers interact with every day. Congratulations to this year’s graduates, and thank you to all of the instructors who helped bring the learning experience to life. Read the full recap: https://bit.ly/4dqQRN6

One of the best things about PPC membership is that it’s not just for one person at your company: everyone on your team can have a seat at the table. That’s exactly why we created PPC Pathways.
