Last month, Printpack Medical helped inaugurate Sterile Packaging Day. Celebrated annually on the second Wednesday in March, it is a day to honor, recognize, and thank all of our partners in the supply chain who work together to deliver innovative, safe, and sterilized devices and supplies to medical experts in order to provide excellence in patient care.

Nurses work the front lines in all healthcare settings, providing hands-on care for patients and giving doctors the information they need to make decisions for their patients' care. Thank you, nurses, for your contributions day in and day out!

Contribute to your community ♻️. If you come across plastic waste in your neck of the woods, pick it up and toss it in the correct bin.

The question of the day is: Why does recyclable paper continue to be a target for brands when the barrier properties are inherently worse than plastic?

In two words: infrastructure and education. In North America, the most robust recycling and recovery infrastructure are for paper/paperboard. Consumers know how to recycle paper vs. an all-PE package.

As we continue to learn more about where recyclable paper fits into our industry and our customers’ portfolios, Printpack will continue to lead the charge in innovative solutions to meet our customers’ needs. In addition to being curbside recyclable, paper is considered renewable and also has post-consumer recycled content options. Paper can be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and can also carry the USDA Bio-Based certification.

Head to our website to start the conversation with our experts about how we can apply our sustainable packaging solutions to your products!

Printpack is helping to Restore the Earth by giving recycled content a home and offsetting virgin plastic use.

Things are about to get technical so bear with us 🙂…

♻️ With multiple post-consumer recycled content projects underway, our latest Rigid cup features 85% mechanically-recycled HDPE content. Compared to a 100% virgin HDPE structure, this cup reduces fossil fuel use by 49%, which saves 128 barrels of oil per 1 million cups. In addition, the cup reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 22%.

The Printpack Villa Rica, GA Campus Social Responsibility Team strikes again!

Every year the team picks up trash, removes debris, and cleans the signs along the GreenBelt trail. In March, our associates participated in Carrolton's Great GreenBelt Cleanup and cleaned the portion of the trail along Believers Blvd. and the Hobbs Farm Loop. This also is the portion of the trail that our Villa Rica manufacturing plant adopted in 2020.

Thank you for your contributions, team!

#Plastic bags and wraps come in different sizes/colors and have countless uses, from keeping our food fresh to delivering online orders safely to our doorstep. With such “flexible” materials, it’s understandable that some people wonder where to toss their used wraps and grocery bags.

Plastic bags and wraps do not go in curbside recycling bins! Bring them back to large retail stores such as your local grocery store for recycling.

At Printpack, we observe Earth Day during the entire month of April, rather than just the specific date of April 22. This week we are highlighting Ashley Drake, a dedicated member of our Corporate Social Responsibility team, and the reasons why she wants to help make a more sustainable future.

In 2020, Ashley took a hiatus from working a corporate role to volunteer around the world with NGOs whose missions were my coincided with her passions of sustainability, organic farming, and outdoor adventure. Though Ashley's travels were cut short due to coronavirus, the time spent away served its purpose. By leaving the comforts of stateside city living and opting to learn from nature experts and the land, while actively living a sustainable way of life, the experience has accelerated Ashley's career aspirations to become an executive leader in sustainability.

Coupling her strong love for the environment and creative team spaces with engineering and project management experience, Ashley is determined to drive operational and cultural sustainability achievements in her new Energy Engineer position at Printpack.

The National Confectioners Association recently released research that found that over half of US shoppers like buying brands that give back to communities or charities. Perhaps even more telling, a third of shoppers say they stop buying brands that hold views they disagree with.

Make sure your brand stands out on the shelf with impactful packaging.

Women's History Month is being observed at Printpack with the help of Inspire, our Women's Network Business Resource Group. This week we are celebrating the story of the First Woman on the Supreme Court (FWOTSC), Sandra Day O'Connor.

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated O'Connor for associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor received unanimous approval from the U.S. Senate and broke new ground for women when she was sworn in as the first female justice ever to sit on the Supreme Court. O'Connor often focused on the letter of law and voted for what she believed best fit the intentions of the U.S. Constitution. She developed a solid reputation for being firm but just.

For 24 years, O'Connor was a pioneering force on the Supreme Court. She'll long be remembered for acting as a sturdy guiding hand in the court's decisions during those years. O’Connor said, "The power I exert on the court depends on the power of my arguments, not on my gender."
