R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RRD)a leading global provider of marketing, packaging, print, and supply chain solutions will spotlight its end-to-end, single-source paperboard packaging services at PACK EXPO (Oct. 23-26, 2022; McCormick Place; Booth W-22000).

RRD’s consultative service model encapsulates paperboard materials selection, best-fit manufacturing, enhancements, finishing, and other services like creative development and design, kitting, distribution optimization, warehouse and inventory management, and print collateral and labels. A team of RRD packaging experts identify opportunities for standardization, production, and near-site production and supply chain efficiencies. They also provide guidance on right-sizing, material reduction, component substitution, and treatment or decorative options that help brands reach their sustainability goals while connecting with their customers.

RRD’s recent Unpackaging Reality Report showed that 94% of respondents agreed sustainability is a key consideration in packaging and label decisions. In that same study, 55% of respondents acknowledged that recent supply chain disruptions moved them closer to meeting carbon emissions goals.

“Packaging selections are not part of a zero-sum game between performance and sustainability,” said Lisa Pruett, President, Packaging & Labels at RRD. “Our experts look at every side of the equation and consider future scalability needs to design packaging that succeeds on both fronts.”

Royle Printing Investing in the Future of Print

Royle Printing is pleased to announce they will be implementing a new training program for all employees and prospective employees at the end of this month. The program is called Advanced Careers in Print (ACP). Like many manufacturers in this country, the printing industry is experiencing a wide-spread shortage of skilled labor. Additionally, there has been a major reduction of government and higher education sponsored programs promoting and supporting the trades, leaving younger generations with little or no exposure to careers in manufacturing. To offset this trend and continue to grow and develop Royle's talented team of associates, the company has developed the ACP initiative. The program is designed to educate and train existing associates while exposing new generations to the world of print. “Our goal is to play a hands-on role in developing our team while encouraging younger generations to consider a career in print,” states Chris Carpenter, President, and Owner of Royle Printing. “Like other significant investments we’re making in our manufacturing platform, this could be the most significant considering our plans for growth and hiring needs for talented associates.”
