complete manufacturing process of a folding carton des- tined to protect the primary packaging of a pharmaceuti- cal or consumer product. After a presentation about the company and printing technology, tour stops began with design, prepress and printing, and continued through the multiple manufacturing steps. Upon visiting the maintenance shop, students learned how maintaining the strictest standards for quality, safety and cleanliness is required to serve Colbert’s pharmaceu- tical, healthcare, and consumer packaging customers. All Colbert operations are 100 percent vision inspection capa- ble, enabling potential defect detection without disrupting the production run — an important distinction for pharma and consumer packaging brand managers. “Colbert Packaging has been a great industry partner to work with,” LakeView’s Technology and Engineering Education Instructor Eric Sutkay said. “Not only have they employed several students through the Youth Appren- ticeship program, they also recently provided a first-hand look into the packaging industry for 40 LakeView students. These opportunities provide our students with the infor- mation needed to make an educated decision about ca- reer pathways they may be interested in pursuing.” Most of the LTA students are taking classes in robot- ics, 3D printing, CNC manufacturing and metal work (fabri- cating, machining, etc.), and they benefit from seeing real world applications of equipment in a manufacturing set- ting, as well as manufacturing jobs in action.
