Get Ready For BCN (CONT’D FROM PAGE 6)
Box Shipments ( U.S. Corrugated Product Shipments) Industry Shipments In Billions of Square Feet Month October 2020
ticipate have up to 1,000 words to share their thoughts on the state of the industry, new products and innovations, strategies for building sales and relationships, and even, as some have expressed in the past, their opinions on the political landscape. We are asking, however, that any polit- ical opinions be expressed in the context of how it impacts the corrugated and folding carton industries. As always, BCN seeks to have a diverse representation of independent converters from all regions of North Amer- ica. From smaller family-owned box makers to multi- sheet plant operations to “super plants,” all converter outlooks are welcome. Many “outlooks” also provide the foundation for a coveted BCN feature story, in which converters have even more space to tell their story and include photos of the people and the machinery that enable them to be suc- cessful. Again, emails will be sent requesting participation during the week, but suppliers and converters can send their reports and outlooks now to Editor-in-Chief, Len Pra- zych, at lprazych@nvpublications.com. Questions are al- ways welcome, as are suggestions on how to make our publication as valuable as possible for our growing num- ber of readers, sponsors and advertisers, whose help will allow BCN , for the 37th year in 2021, to be the only week- ly publication – in print AND online – serving the North American Corrugated and Folding Carton Industries!
