to determine whether it could accommodate that worker in some way so as to permit effective work.” (Although, to date, no court has held that an employer must accommo- date such use while federal law differs). Finally, says Delogu, it is “absolutely and everywhere” allowable to terminate any employee who brings the mar- ijuana substance into the workplace. The insights above are provisional, so consult with your attorney about your own state and local legislation. “It’s important to know the current law in your jurisdiction and to watch for updates,” says Delogu. “This area of the law is very dynamic and changing all the time.” Phillip M.

Kenosha, Wisconsin based Colbert Packaging Corpora- tion reports that recent investments in printing technology and equipment are evidence of working a strategic plan to satisfy secondary packaging needs of pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare manufacturers in North America. At a time when many firms have scaled back invest- ments due to economic uncertainty, Colbert Packaging has demonstrated industry leadership by its continued investment in printing technology and equipment for sus- tainable paperboard packaging. For example, the new outsert folder and tabber tack- le complex pharmaceutical inserts/outserts with patented folding procedures. The folder produces RTA (right-turn- angle) cross-folded outserts. The tabber complements

Colbert’s secondary packaging capabilities, bringing more specialty packaging functions under one roof, an added benefit for compli- ance with stringent customer audit require- ments. The recent addition of a vision inspection system in the Elkhart, Indiana location means all Colbert Packaging operations are 100% vision inspection capable, enabling defect detection without disrupting the production run—an important distinction for pharma and consumer brand managers. Other ancillary support equipment added in recent months includes GenieCut inline windowing equipment, which gives customers the added benefit of product visibility within the folding carton. The GenieCut technology is unique in that it eliminates glue pots, allows for custom application of adhesive, and ap- plies a film window to the carton inline on the folder-gluer. For protection against product counterfeit- ing and improved efficiency, Colbert has add- ed the ability to serialize folding cartons with customer-specific sequential data. “This is particularly valuable to our pharma- ceutical and healthcare customers,” says Col- bert Packaging President John Lackner. “The growing concern and demand for serialization played into our strategic plans for growth, and there will be more news to come about our continued investment in printing equipment designed to increase capacity and offer our customers even more internal capabilities. “As a leader in the secondary packaging in- dustry, these capital investments demonstrate a significant commitment to our customers, employees and suppliers. We are well-posi- tioned to work together into the future.”
