SUMMARY:Folding Carton Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:PPC’s Folding Carton Boot Camp is back in person this fall\, taking place December 9-10! Our two-day program is essential for those new to cartons or the industry and for non-plant personnel eager to deepen their knowledge beyond a single-plant operation. \nUnlike any other training\, the Folding Carton Boot Camp delivers a highly interactive\, hands-on experience that immerses attendees in every key aspect of the folding carton process. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of essential topics\, including windowing\, rigid boxes\, automatic packaging\, cold and hot foil stamping\, tooling\, laminating\, and much more. \nThe in-person format is a game-changer. It allows participants to engage directly with the materials\, machinery\, and processes that make the folding carton industry so unique. You’ll connect with industry experts\, observe real-time demonstrations\, and participate in discussions that take you from the fundamentals of paper production to the complexities of customer delivery. Our comprehensive\, real-world learning experience fosters a richer\, deeper grasp of each “folding carton” point along the production chain. \nJoin us to build foundational skills\, network with leaders in the field\, and gain the hands-on expertise needed to excel in the dynamic world of folding cartons.
