For all the negative news we hear in regard to the American school system – budget cuts, teacher strikes, drop-out rates, graduates that can’t write – it is certainly nice to hear about some smart kids that are excited and motivated about learning and about school programs that teach students real-world skills and experience. Here’s one such example.

How much easier would it be to sell your package concept to your client or your superiors if you could make new mock-ups every day as your design evolves?

I'm not much of a car guy. First because I'm not a guy and second because cars to me are simply a method of transportation – not a source of entertainment or a statement of style. (Although I suppose my 4 Door Honda Accord DOES speak to my practical nature.) Recently, however, I'm looking at NASCAR in a whole new light.

We took our package prototyping technologies to Pack Expo last week and despite our distant booth location in the "More Exhibits" area at the end of the North Hall, on the far right aisle, almost to the back, you found us. Brand owners, package designers, contract manufacturers and even other exhibitors were oogling over our product offering, telling us how revolutionary our equipment is. That's right, they were telling us! As if we might not realize what we have here.

I live for this stuff!!! Actually, I don’t really like travel (especially since I just got married), but I love tradeshows. Last week we had our best show in years. The energy and positive outlook from exhibitors and buyers alike was refreshing and frankly, a little surprising.

Hey! Our Roland DG VersaUV just earned the Label Industry Global Award for new Innovation at Label Expo this week! How ’bout that!?! The VersaUV has been around for a few years now and although it’s gained some momentum recently, it remains for the large part unknown among most of our target audience.

Tempted at Every Turn

It happened again. After enjoying my morning oatmeal, I headed off for the Long Beach show and was met with temptation. No… the show wasn’t full of hot guys. But it was full of enthusiastic, creative Roland DG owners and talking to them makes me want a Roland DG product for myself.
