🌸April 2025🌸

The birds are chirping, the machines are humming, and the energy at PPI is in full bloom! April has brought with it a fresh wave of momentum—from exciting upgrades on the floor to well-deserved employee shoutouts and a few surprises tucked into this very newsletter 👀

We’re keeping the good vibes rolling, so shake off that pollen, grab a coffee, and dive into everything that made this month another one worth celebrating!

March Madness

Congratulations to our 2025 March Madness champions: Chris, Sean, Sameer, Craig, and Noel—the dream team who outlasted the chaos and came out on top! 💪

And a special shoutout to Sameer for racking up a very precise 177 points and claiming the top score in the company. Talk about a clutch performance! 🎯

Thanks to everyone who joined in the madness—we had a blast watching the competition unfold (on the court and in the office).

Anniversaries

🎉 Celebrating 5 Years with Van! 🎉

Van brings five years of solid dedication, sharp attention to detail, and a strong work ethic to the slitting department—and we’re lucky to have him on the team. His manager Donnie had no shortage of great things to say, calling him a true team player and a valuable part of the crew.

Whether it’s keeping things running smoothly or stepping in to help wherever needed, Van shows up and gives it his all every day.

Thanks for everything you do—here’s to many more! 👏

🎉 Celebrating 15 Years with Mike! 🎉

Fifteen years is no small feat, and we’re incredibly thankful to have had Mike on this journey with us. Mike, congrats on 15 years! We’re lucky to have you, and we’re grateful for everything you do.

MUST SEE MOVIE 🦈

**(seal) JAWS**
*Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the converting room…*
There’s something lurking beneath the surface at Packaging Personified — and it’s not your average packaging film. When veteran press operator Mike takes a routine swim through the production floor, he unwittingly becomes the target of a relentless, high-performance predator: *The Seal*. With airtight precision, unstoppable strength, and a jaw-dropping ability to lock in freshness, this legendary force has one mission — to hunt down inefficiency and deliver the cleanest seals the industry has ever seen.
As the tension rises and the rollers spin faster, it’s up to the PPI crew to face the beast head-on. Will they survive the bite of unmatched sealing power? Or will they get… reeled in?
⭐ *Starring Mike D.*
⭐ *Featuring our extrusion, converting, and press teams as "The Seal Crew"*
This spring, **(seal) JAWS** surfaces — and the only thing scarier than the seal… is running out of shrink film.

⏳ March Poll Results: Music Madness!

When asked whether you’d rather have *“Eye of the Tiger”* play every time you walk to the breakroom, or be followed by a tiny mariachi band once a day for three minutes—votes were pretty evenly split… but *Eye of the Tiger* edged out the win!
To those who chose the power anthem: we respect the drama. But we’re guessing you’ve *never* heard the absolute joy that is a 6-inch trumpet solo next to the copier. Viva la mariachi! 🎶🐎🌵
