Colbert Packaging Awarded For Environmental Innovation
Kenosha, Wisconsin based Colbert Packaging was pre- sented the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment award for Environmental Innovation from Wisconsin Man- ufacturers & Commerce (WMC). The award recognizes businesses for programs that demonstrate an innovative approach to environmental protection. “As a converter of paperboard packaging solutions, we are committed to developing new and better ways to uti- lize fiber-based packaging as an alternative to plastics,” said Colbert President and COO, John Lackner. “Our com- mitment to the environment extends beyond our products, through our business practices and in the community.” Craig Summerfield, Director of Environmental and Ener- gy Policy for WMC added, “Congratulations to our friends at Colbert Packaging for demonstrating their commitment to environmental protection, not because of some burden- some regulation, but because it’s good for the future.” Colbert Packaging has invested in green energy re- newable energy certificates (RECs) since 2019. The year prior, employees began an annual outreach program to lo- cal schools, teaching about the lifecycle of trees. In 2023, Colbert became a registered member of EcoVadis, a glob- al business sustainability rating network. For more information, visit colbertpkg.com .
Once recycled, corrugated box fibers are used 7-10 times to make new boxes and other paper products. And, more corrugated packaging is recovered for recycling than any other packaging material. Corrugated attracts eco-conscious customers who prefer to choose sustainably packaged products. Environmentally Responsible. Recyclable. Compostable. Extraordinary.

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.
