In the News

The CDC estimates that on any given day, one in every 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection. It’s these odds that draw professionals from medical device manufacturers, their packaging supply partners and package designers, and every individual who feels the gravity of packaging integrity to patient safety to lead change.

Amy will discuss this further in her keynote, "Leading the Change in Medical Device Packaging" tomorrow, December 2, 8:00 AM PST/ 11:00 EST at Informa's #VirtualEngineeringWeek.

In 2020, we have seen some defining moments that have impacted millions of people. With the #COVID19 outbreak earlier this year, we saw thousands of businesses shut down, and millions of hard-working Americans lose their jobs and their livelihoods. Also, during the pandemic, we saw racial tensions flare after the senseless killing of George Floyd and other recent deaths of black Americans at the hands of police officers, resulting in months of protests for racial equity in our society.

Based on these events, we thought about what else we can do to help support our communities most affected by the events of 2020. After careful consideration, we have decided to contribute to two organizations to help address these issues.

Please join us and contribute too.

Feeding America / Atlanta Community Food Bank: Their mission is to fight hunger by engaging, educating, and empowering the Atlanta community.

For our final week of #VeteransAppreciationMonth, we would like to highlight the dedication of Printpack Medical associate and Extrusion Manager, Adam Eckstadt, who is located in our Marshall plant.

Adam served in the United States Marine Corps for 8 years and deployed to Fallujah, Iraq with the 0311 Infantry. As a result of his life-changing experience in the military, Adam understands and values dedication to a team, a purpose greater than self, humility, and gratitude. Thank you for your service, Adam!

We would like to speak to more Veterans like Adam at the Recruit Military virtual platform on November 24th, 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM (EST). Participants will include those who have served in the U.S. Military as well as their spouses. Register today and speak with us tomorrow! http://ow.ly/Npzo50CqwcX

Did you know that 77% of organizations report they are currently experiencing a leadership gap?

Amy Stewart, Product Development Manager of Printpack Medical and 2020 Institute of Packaging Professional's Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee Chairperson, is working on closing that gap. She explains that "bringing (my) personal best to the job isn't enough. Leadership means bringing out everyone else's best too."

This week, in #VeteransAppreciation month at Printpack, we wanted to highlight our associate, Lisa Scruggs, and her husband, US Marine Corps. Veteran, Eric Scruggs.

Lisa knew Eric was her soulmate since high school and through two USMC deployments where they went almost a year without seeing each other. In November 2004, Eric had signed up for the Marine Corps and after a 13-week boot camp, he had to move to Hawaii to begin his training. His first deployment in February 2006 for an 8-months in Iraq was a difficult time for Eric when he lost his best friend as well as 14 other guys in his unit. Eric was promoted to Corporal and became a team leader before his second deployment to Iraq in June 2007. In his last year of service, he got the once in a lifetime opportunity to join a MEU in South East Asia. Lisa was always by her phone ready to answer any call from Eric during his deployments and ventures. Today, Lisa says that "I never take advantage of having him here for holidays, birthdays, or a normal day. I tell our children how lucky we are to have their dad around all the time. "

Thank you to all the men and women who sacrificed for this country, and with some paying the ultimate price.

Today on #VeteransDay, we highlight our associate, Craig Titus, Quality Systems Development Manager, and his experience as a US Navy and US Navy Reserves.

Craig served in a wide variety of assignments and capacities in the enlisted ranks from E-1 through E-6 from 1978 - 2006. The bulk of his long active duty career was serving within in the TACAMO Community, where he held numerous in-flight and ground logistics support positions. TACAMO, which stood for “Take Charge and Move Out,” was and continues to be a survivable airborne communication link for ensuring connectivity between the decision-makers (the National Command Authority) and the nuclear weapons delivery systems (primarily ballistic missile submarines). During his 12 years in TACAMO-related assignments, Craig achieved many formal certifications and amassed nearly 6,000 missions and aircraft test flight hours in 7 aircraft types. He also served as an Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Project Technician, Work Center Shift Supervisor & Leading Petty Officer, course supervisor, collateral duty inspector for quality, and others.

Thank you for your service, Craig, and thank you to all active Military and Veteran Associates and American Citizens.

At Printpack, Veteran's Day in November has expanded to Veteran Appreciation Month.

This week, we are highlighting our associate, Jana Matuszewski, and her husband, Veteran, LTC(R) Douglas F. Matuszewski who sacrificed 20 years, 2 months, and 8 days for the great USA.

Douglas was commissioned in May 1984 from USMA (West Point) as an Armor Officer. After he commanded M60 and M1 armor units at both the platoon and company level, he was selected for advance civil schooling and earned an MS in Operations Research in 1994 from Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He then transferred branches and finished his career as an Operations Research Systems Analyst. His duty stations brought him to Ft. Knox, KY; Ft. Benning, GA; Ft. Stewart, GA; Schweinfurt, FRG; Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA; Ft. Monroe, VA; the Pentagon and Ft. MacPherson, GA.

As a military spouse, Jana gave up precious time with family and missed birthdays, weddings, and even the opportunity to grieve with her family when loved ones passed. Jana's unwavering support is shown when she says, "I would not have traded those years for anything."

Thank you to all the men and women who sacrificed for this country, including those who paid the ultimate price.
