Big Associate Issue VI

The Big Associate Issue, now in its sixth year of publication, is a venue for AICC Associate members to communicate who they are, what they do, and how their products and services support independent paper-based packaging businesses. The opportunity to submit a company article was opened to all AICC Associate members in good standing, and nearly 100 companies provided material.

AICC has always valued its Associate members and welcomed their contributions. The Association often relies on them to keep us updated on the market and technology, as suppliers, as expert speakers and trainers, and as contributors to AICC publications, including BoxScore. Associate members also offer significant financial support that allows AICC to invest in benefits for all its constituents, such as education, advocacy, networking opportunities, and more.

Associate members have always been welcomed in AICC. The Association often relies on them to keep us updated on the market and technology, as suppliers, as expert speakers and trainers, and as contributors to AICC publications, including BoxScore. Associate members also offer significant financial support that allows AICC to invest in benefits for all its constituents, such as free education, advocacy, networking opportunities, and much more.

AICC’s goals with this annual edition of BoxScore—the only such guide in our industry—are to help members see opportunities and gather information and materials that will guide the future of their businesses. We hope the Big Associate Issue will serve as an effective tool for informing you of all the useful, innovative products and services at your fingertips. It is a reference book of what is available to independent converters today, segmented into:

• Equipment
• Dies, Rolls, Plates, and Accessories
• Inks, Coatings, and Adhesives
• Sheets, Paper, and Printing
• Services
• Software and Electronics

To the converters reading this magazine and using it throughout the year, give your fellow members a first look. Support the companies that support you and your Association.

When you speak with an Associate member, please let them know you saw their article in BoxScore to allow us to continue to offer this member benefit. When you invest in and engage with AICC and its Associates, you bolster the foundation for continued growth—for all independents.
