SuperCorrExpo 2021, considered one of the most in- fluential corrugated packaging-focused trade shows in the Western Hemisphere, is happening live and in-person, August 8-12, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. With more than 240 exhibitors, eight re- ceptions and other relationship building opportunities, five keynoters (include two industry CEOs), two award ceremo- nies and the Box Manufacturing Olympics all planned for the show floor, there is much to see and do at this year’s event. Visit supercorrexpo.org for more details. In addition to training, arm your crew with resources from TAPPI Press like the bestselling Corrugated Contain- ers Manufacturing Process, a comprehensive textbook which describes the entire process of manufacturing corrugated containers. The Corrugating Defect/Remedy Manual provides a basis for common knowledge of terms, definitions, and methods of correction of corrugated op- erational defects. These and other corrugated packaging resources are available from tappi.org/bookstore .
