Our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues. Today's highlight is the story of teacher Charles Lincoln Harper.

Before there was a Booker T. Washington High School, there was no public education beyond the sixth grade for African Americans in Atlanta, Georgia. Charles Lincoln Harper believed that America's survival depended upon a thorough education of the youth of this country without regard to race, color, or creed. Harper became the first Principal of Washington High, and by the time he retired in 1942, B.T. Washington was considered the largest Black high school in America. Education in the State of Georgia is better because of Charles Lincoln Harper's leadership and devotion.

Printpack Rigid Manager, Indirect Tax, Kimberly Pullen who submitted Harper’s story in honor of Black History Month, said, "It means a lot for me to be able to share this story, as I attended and am a graduate of the great high school in Atlanta that was named for this outstanding educator."

Sterile packaging ensures that there is one less thing to worry about in healthcare settings. The 1976 Medical Device Amendment was a historic moment in U.S. history. The intent of this Amendment was to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. It also established several key postmarket requirements: registration of establishments and listing of devices with the FDA, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and reporting of adverse events involving medical devices.

As a member of the SPMC, Printpack Medical is excited to support SPMC's inaugural Sterile Packaging Day on March 10th. This day celebrates everyone in the supply chain who helps provide peace of mind and patient safety through sterile packaging.

For years prior to 2020, retailers were building momentum for their private label products. They leveraged high gross margins to invest in branding and product and packaging innovation. And then, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled them to the forefront, due to their distinct advantages of availability and lower prices.

As a result, well over half of US shoppers intend to buy more private label products in the future after stock outs of national brands forced them to try an alternative.

Our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues. Today's highlight is the story of Katherine Johnson.

NASA mathematician, a trailblazer in the quest for racial equality, a contributor to our nation’s first triumphs in human spaceflight and champion of STEM education, Katherine G. Johnson stands among NASA’s most inspirational figures. Johnson’s accomplishments at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA were highlighted in the bestselling book and movie, “Hidden Figures.”

Printpack Sr. Research Engineer Raj Guntupalli, who submitted Katherine’s story in honor of Black History Month, said, "She (Katherine) stands as a symbol for what women can achieve, and how they can help humanity to progress beyond earth, no matter what they look like. Katherine is a great female role model, who could inspire girls like my daughter to strive for STEM excellence and most importantly instill a can-do attitude."

Our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues. Today's highlight is the story of Claudette Colvin.

Most people think of Rosa Parks as the first person to refuse to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. There were actually several women who came before her; one of whom was Claudette Colvin. It was March 2, 1955, when the fifteen-year-old schoolgirl refused to move to the back of the bus, nine months before Rosa Parks' stand that launched the Montgomery bus boycott. When the bus driver ordered Claudette to get up, she refused, "It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn't get up." The struggle to end segregation was often fought by young people, more than half of whom were women.

Printpack Electrical & Controls Engineer Daniel Coleman, who submitted Claudette's story in honor of Black History Month, said, "Her story reminds me to always to be true to myself and stand up for what is right, because you may be the inspiration that sparks further change."

AIM (Aligning Initiatives for Minorities), is an employee resource group that seeks to uphold Printpack's core values by helping associates understand the perspective of others.

AIM is celebrating Black History Month by highlighting examples of Black Excellence in fields ranging from politics to poetry, science to sports and offering insights about why these stories are important.

To kick off #BlackHistoryMonth, today’s highlight is about George Crum, who sparked the invention of one of the United States' favorite snack foods – the potato chip. He was born in 1822 in New York, the son of an African American father and Native American mother. He became a well-known chef and ultimately rose to fame for his French-fried potatoes in 1853.

After Crum’s death in 1914, food entrepreneurs around the country were inspired to manufacture the salty treat that we know today as the potato chip. By 1926, the chips were offered in wax paper bags. In 1932, Herman Lay founded Lay's. His potato chips became the first successfully marketed brand. By the 1960's, Printpack was packaging those chips in plastic bags. Today, retail sales of potato chips top $9 billion per year in the US alone.

A recent survey from Sun Basket reports that 55% of respondents are feeling cooking fatigue because of the pandemic. With many consumers still staying close to home, we expect that to continue into 2021, but it does leave consumers looking for more variety and trying new flavors and ingredients while cooking at home.

What new ingredients have you added to your at-home menu lately?
