Six teams of students have researched trend fore- casting, interviewed in-store customers and investigated emerging retail experiences. They are working toward designing a single package, following Sam’s Club, Cost- co and Amazon’s complex packaging requirements for in- store display and online retail.

rience will boost students’ abilities and prepare them for industry better, even before graduation. They visited class the first week for the project kick- off, sharing the company’s structure and processes and how they function as a professional team. They introduced the project scope for this semester, as identified by their client, Reckitt: to create a prototype for Reckitt’s Air Wick packaging.

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.
