Ms. Murray notes, “The introduction of computers, e-mail, and digital workflows in the early to late 1990s transformed our business into working with speed and ef- ficiency that compared to no other time.” TPC continued production during the COVID-19 pan- demic with careful precautions, which Ms. Murray de- scribes as “the most significant challenge of our lifetimes from a personal and business perspective.” In addition to their business success, the Schmissrauter family has made significant contributions to their commu- nity. After losing their parents in 2000, they established the Schmissrauter Cancer Resource Center at CHI Memo- rial Hospital, providing support for patients recently diag- nosed with cancer. They also set up a family fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, enabling them to support local initiatives directly. Looking ahead, TPC Packaging continues to pursue ambitious growth. A recently completed 60,000-square- foot addition to their facility will house their rigid box divi- sion, digital enhancement fulfillment services, and special- ty packaging production. Reflecting on a century of achievements, Ms. Murray remains focused on the future: “We continue to grow, de- velop new technologies, and never stop thinking forward to the next opportunity.” For more information, visit paperbox.org .

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.
