On August 2, 2011, our then-CEO, Dennis Love, announced the creation of a new women’s network at Printpack: Inspire. While Inspire has now been around for over eleven years, due to the COVID pandemic, we are having a slightly delayed recognition of its 10-year anniversary. Today, we will celebrate ten years of Inspire and the impact it has had on our female as well as male associates.

Throwback Thursday!

Today's Printpack Elgin campus opened in 1965, a new state-of-the-art modern facility featuring an engineered "Product Line Layout" to provide the best efficiencies possible.

It was built by Standard Packaging Corporation, founded in 1919, one of the most fully, vertically integrated firms in the packaging industry. The firm owned its own pulp, paper and foil mills, and produced numerous products at factories around the country from that raw material such as printed film, paper, and foil products, cartons, metalized materials, paper dishes, paper and plastic linings, playing and greeting cards, mail products, and many other packaging and goods. Eugene J. Trandel was the general manager of the Flexible Packaging Division plant in Elgin, IL.

Our campus became part of the Printpack family when J. Erskine Love, Jr. strategically acquired it from Standard Packaging Corporation in 1978.

Thank you to Elizabeth Marston, director of the Elgin History Museum, for providing us with this photo and information. https://elginhistory.org/

As a proud sponsor of the Hefty Energy Bag program ( ), we are excited to announce that to date, Cobb County in Georgia has recycled 75,984 pounds of hard-to-recycle plastics.

These plastics have been turned into diesel fuel, oil, wax, new plastics, and aggregate for building blocks as a direct result of the HEB program.

Hefty Energy Bags are made from 20% recycled content and are coming soon to a store near you in brand new packaging! Let's keep up !

Today is and we are highlighting our very own – Alan Belcher, one of Printpack’s Senior Product Stewardship Engineers.

Alan says, “Packaging is an asset that has served such a great purpose – protecting the food that we eat. It deserves to become more than just trash at the end of its life. That is why I am so drawn to the idea of compostable packaging. It mitigates packaging waste while driving more food to compost – for example: consumers could include their lettuce bags with their veggie scraps in their home compost bin where they can both become part of a nutrient rich soil that can be used to grow more food. It is an amazing cycle. I believe in this process, but I know we have a long way to go. Material availability, infrastructure, consumer acceptance and many other factors must be resolved before this future becomes a reality. I am passionate about the role that I get to play in making progress towards this goal.”

If it's June, it must be National Candy Month! It's an excellent time for confectionery brands to kick off summer and reconnect consumers with their favorite candies.
