Help new team members feel like seasoned pros with PPC’s  Folding Carton Boot Camp! The two-day educational workshop 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.
