The AICC 14th International Corrugated Packaging Design Competition - Great Design is No Gamble is being held October 5-7, 2009 in conjunction with the AICC 2009 Annual Meeting and co-located with PACK EXPO 2009. Since 1981, AICC has been proud to recognize, showcase and reward those independents who have met and exceeded their customers’ expectations of their corrugated packaging designs and displays in the biennial competition. Entering your best corrugated packaging designs in the Competition is a great opportunity to:
• Show off your company’s creativity, innovation and excellence in package design and production capabilities.
• Recognize the people behind the scenes who helped manufacture your best corrugated packaging designs including your employees, customers and suppliers
• Enhance the independent boxplant manufacturers’ level of professionalism in the corrugated industry
 
Extra Exposure: All entries will be display at PACKEXPO 2009 which attracts over 25,000 customers and buyers from over 75 countries around the world. For full details and competition category descriptions click here.
For the convenience of our members, the Financial School for Managers has been rescheduled for July 21-22, 2009. “Many of our members are involved in fiscal year end tasks in late June and early July and that is a very inopportune time for the  Financial Managers and Controllers to be away from the office,” says John Bacot. “So, due to the substantial level of interest in the program, we made the decision to reschedule the event.”
The event will still be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, just minutes from the Montreal Airport and is facilitated by Mitch Klingher, M.S. Ackerman & Co. LLP.
In the coming weeks AICC members will receive a unique and innovative “Save your Samples” penholder promoting AICC’s 14th International Corrugated Packaging Design Competition.  Allpak Trojan designed and manufactured over 500 of the “Save your Samples” penholder pieces.      
Now’s the time to start saving your samples for the Competition being held October 5-7, 2009, in conjunction with the AICC 2009 Annual Meeting & PACKEXPO in Las Vegas, NV. Get yourself and your best corrugated packaging products ready to go head-to-head with your peers. Start saving samples and technical data so you can enter your “best of the best” designs.
