Personified Times
🍂September & October 2025🍂
September and October flew by with so much to celebrate at PPI! Between our annual picnic, 50-year milestone parties (and the debut of our commemorative video), Halloween costume fun, updates on our latest Century Tech bag machine, special Maintenance birthdays, and our team poll, there was never a dull moment. We love seeing our team come together, work hard, and have a little fun along the way!
From structural integrity to barbecue integrity, our annual picnic proves we know how to build strong bonds — on and off the clock.
50 Year Celebrations
Built by People. Told by the ones who built it.
Fifty years, countless stories, and one incredible team.
“Built by People” celebrates the hands, hearts, and history that make Packaging Personified who we are loyal, driven, and always progressing with purpose.
We’re so proud to share a glimpse into the people behind our name and the values that have carried us for half a century (and counting).
Throwback to November 1986:
A crew of PPI originals, including Mrs. Muccianti and Mr. Imburgia, our founders, breaking ground on what would become our main home base today.
As we celebrate 50 years of Packaging Personified, it’s moments like these that remind us how far we’ve come, and how much heart has gone into every step along the way. Here’s to the people and the progress that built the PPI we know today.
Sparta 50!
Nothing says half a century of success like a few strikes, some laughs, and celebrating with the people who make it all possible. 🥳🎳 Cheers to our Sparta crew for kicking off our 50th in style — the Carol Stream had big (bowling) shoes to fill!
Carol Stream Keeps the Celebration Rolling! 🎳
Our Carol Stream crew stepped up to the lanes and kept the 50th anniversary fun going strong — laughter, memories, and plenty of strikes included.
Here’s to the people who’ve built Packaging Personified over the past five decades… and to all the good times still to come! 🥳
New toys for grown-ups 🎉
Our bag machine just got a serious upgrade, and we’re not shy about geeking out over it. Big thanks to Century Tech for being the kind of partner who makes progress feel this fun.
Here’s to smoother runs, sharper bags, and a future full of even cooler “toys.” 🛠️✨
Maintenance Birthdays!
Maintenance teams don’t always get the spotlight, but this month we’ve got two great reasons to cheer. 🎉 A very happy birthday to Kevin and Charlie from our maintenance crew! Your hard work keeps us running smoothly every day, and we’re lucky to celebrate you!!! 🛠️🎂
🎃Halloween Fun🎃
We love seeing the holiday spirit… Halloween edition! 🎃 Our team knows how to celebrate in their very own creative style. Even Halloween deserves a pop of perfect color!
⏳ Last Poll Results: Worst animal to have stuck in your car…
A very close call between a racoon or a cow…
