    The Challenger Sale Book & Heroes

    If someone asked where you were the morning of January 28th, 1986, you’d probably respond, “I have no idea.” For some of us, memories may not even date back that far. But if you ask that question another way to people of a certain age, “Where were you when the Challenger Shuttle crashed?” the answers come easily. Because at 10:39 am central time that day, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds into its 10th mission, imprinting the event on individuals’ psyches

    Great Things That Go Great Together

    To say we live in the time of multi-tasking is both obvious and understated. Living in this time is simultaneously energizing and aggravating. And it seems the accepted challenge of our generation is to prove possible things once thought to be mutually exclusive. If Reese’s can put together two very different tastes and show they taste great together and if Miller can make a beer that’s less filling and still tastes great, really what more proof do we need? And yet we have it

    Out of the Forest

    Corrugated | Packaging | Design OK, so this is a first. Welcome to “Out of the Forest”: The Blog About Packaging and Design from Forest Packaging. Just reading that, you might well be asking yourself, “Why a blog from Forest Packaging?” No offense taken, because believe me, when the idea was pitched my way, I asked the very same question. So, here’s the answer. For more than 50 years now our company has not only sustained, but grown, innovated and become a leader in the more-

    Game On!

    “For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.” Perhaps Benjamin Franklin had gamer's in mind when he said that, yes? Either way, it’s a true statement. So, we are doing our part to keep gamer’s gaming! Forest Packaging’s newest project is a bunch of little boxes that we are, together, marketing as a “Gamer’s Box” to address a desire of some 150 million American gamers.

    Enduring Trust Lights the Path

    There’s a professor at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, who’s dedicating her scholarly research to lessons learned from companies that have been around for 100 or more years. It's really cool. As a second-generation leader of a business that’s just halfway to this lofty “Century Club Company” goal, my own interest is piqued by Professor Vicki TenHaken’s study and findings. Specifically, TenHaken identifies five factors that these centurions of the business world have going

    Forest Packaging: Our Birthmarks Have DNA!

    The most import details often go unnoticed. Take the simple Box Maker’s Certificate (BMC) most carton manufactures imprint on the bottom of their boxes. These marks cite each carton’s specific tested and rated characteristics. You’ll find at Forest Packaging our cartons are birthed with the Edge Crush Test (ECT) Certificate. ECT measures the stacking strength of a box. This determines how much pressure it can handle before being crushed. Since most shipping is done by stackin

    Putting Out Business Fires and One Real One

    Busy people in all walks of life use the metaphor of “putting out fires” to describe their full plates at work, to-do lists around the house or any number of issues that might complicate our lives. Put out that fire. Check. To be sure, my position at Forest Packaging brings numerous metaphorical fires to my attention nearly every day. And that’s true for anyone looking to run a successful business. Operations. Machinery. Management of customer needs vs. wants vs. expectations

    Flute, an instrument of strength

    The flute is not an instrument that has a good moral effect - it is too exciting. – Plato At Forest Packaging we couldn’t agree more with the philosopher from Athens – we find “flutes” - oh too exciting even if we’re talking corrugate as opposed to the instrument. When it comes to corrugate, “flutes” are the unit of measurement used to designate thickness and strengths, commonly ranging from A-flute to F-flute. Larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression streng
