and retaining quality workers, especially machine oper- ators. Acme continued in full operation as the pandemic was spiking. The company’s “headcount” remains much as it was when the pandemic started. The change in buying habits during the pandemic has dramatically impacted the demand for containerboard and like most other converters, Acme Corrugated Box Co. will continue to benefit from the ever-changing ways consum- ers buy products. The Cohens know there will be more movement back to retail. They also know that companies like Amazon are intent on reducing their packaging ex- cesses.

Says Bob, “We, like most independents, will continue to compete on competency, innovation and service.

Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
