Attendees left with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence in their roles within the paperboard packaging industry. Jeffrey Zelman of Baker-Titan Adhesives shared, “I’ve taken in so much during this Boot Camp. I feel more equipped than ever to engage with customers, dive deep- er into their concerns, and even have meaningful con- versations with printing managers—something I never thought I’d be able to do.” With the Spring 2025 Folding Carton Boot Camp al- ready scheduled for next May, we’re steadfast in our com- mitment to driving innovation, sustainability, and profes- sional growth for our members.
