ICPF Continues (CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 )

As the height of the 2021 hiring season is coming to a close, it has been one of the most active hiring seasons for ICPF in recent memory. So far this year, an estimated 150 or more new graduates and student interns have been hired for production, operations, sales and design. The educational backgrounds of the students and new graduates have included business, packaging engineer- ing, chemical & process engineering, paper science, in- dustrial engineering, technology engineering, structural & graphic design, mechanical engineering, and related areas. In past years, there have been an average of seven qualified applicants for each position posted on ICPF’s career portal. This year that average has grown. Early this year, an ICPF corporate partner posted 24 openings across the country to which it received over 270 quali- fied applications! Most of the positions posted this year by other ICPF corporate partners have received a similar response. However, the number of applications for each opening on ICPF career portal can vary from state to state. Importantly, the success in hiring is directly related to HR and other managers promptly reaching out and engaging their applicants, and making timely hiring decisions. Each year, more students by far have been hired for production, operations and sales positions than for design

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.
