From the Editor

It is well known that a focused, positive attitude can accomplish great things. Recently, I saw a quote attributed to Lee Iacocca, former CEO of Chrysler Corp., that said, “In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.”
One of the more positive programs that packagePRINTING offers is our annual Excellence Awards competition. This contest recognizes top-quality printing applied to packaging components of all types—tags and labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, and corrugated. Like other printing contests, what makes the Excellence Awards competition such a positive program is the recognition it provides for all those involved. While the focus is on package printers, it also provides recognition to their customers and suppliers.
