PPC Slates Folding Carton Boot Camp For November
The Perfect Combo Get Peak Performance From Your Equipment with Matched Component Sets
New team members can feel like seasoned pros by at- tending the Paperboard Packaging Council’s (PPC) Fold- ing Carton Boot Camp webinar, a virtual event taking place November 14-17. Registration will open soon. This training opportunity is ideal for anyone new to cartons (even if not new to the industry) and non-plant personnel with limited experience outside a single plant operation. From making paper to customer delivery and all “folding carton” points and processes in between, this comprehensive program is everything you wanted to know about folding cartons. “It’s designed for people in the office, customer service, estimators – anyone who comes in contact with a box but isn’t generally on the floor,” said Ben Markens, President of PPC. “It’s really good for salespeople who need a holistic view of how box making happens. It’s especially good for people who are new to our industry though they may be seasoned veterans.
Nothing’s more rewarding than a couple made for each other. That’s why the engineers at ARC International have focused their skills and talents on
crafting perfect matches between the components that must work in tandem on your exo folder gluers and die-cutters:
• Anilox Rollers and Ink Chambers • Anilox and Wiper Rollers • Feed and Pull Rollers • Glue and Meter Rollers You can achieve the press speeds and print quality you need to ll your most demanding orders by pairing your team with The ARChitects of Flexo. Contact ARC today to learn how these engineered matches of exo folder gluer and die-cutter components (new or reconditioned) can help you achieve a more perfect union of production and pro ts.
“It’s a great place to learn the lexicon and mechanics of folding cartons so when people talk about something like a blanket, they don’t think it’s because they are cold.” Attendees learn how paper is made and what different grades of paperboard are used to make packaging as well as the types of presses used to put ink and coating on pa- per and which machines best fit the end use. Students are also introduced to the complex prepress process, including an overview of CAD (computer aided design), color theory, and carton design. They also learn how cartons are cut, creased and finished, including win- dowing and gluing. Topics and presenters this year include: • Recovered Fiber by Quinn Garber, River Valley Paper Company • Rigid Box by Laura Brodie, Burt Rigid Box Structural Design & Workflow and Color Theory by Ben Markens, PPC • Inks & Coating by Beau Snider, Wikoff Color Corp.
