Versatile Packagers

It’s National Hero Day! While some heroes wear capes, some of our heroes wear hairnets, drive trucks and operate forklifts. Thank you to our team members across South Atlantic, Versatile and ProStar who are committed to excellence, lead by example, and do whatever it takes to get the job done right. #NationalHeroDay #CoPacking #NotAllHerosWearCapes

Our hearts and prayers continue to go out?to our neighbors in western NC, and like most businesses in the area, South Atlantic Packaging Corporation is in the process of collecting donations, etc. At the same time, we are now also quite worried about Milton, which appears to be heading directly to Tampa, where we have our Versatile Packagers facility.?Our first priority?is always the safety of our team members, and to that end, we decided to shut down our Tampa facility today at 2pm so all team members could evacuate the area if needed.??Earlier this morning our leaders also provided information to all workers on local shelters and emphasized the danger of the storm and the importance of their safety.?Our prayers are obviously with everyone in the hurricane's path. We have followed our hurricane prep checklist and secured our facility to the greatest extent possible.?Hopefully damage will be minimal.?We will assess the situation on Thursday and be open again on Friday if possible.

As co-packers, we have the privilege of working with manufacturers from multiple industries. This National Manufacturing Day, we want to say thank-you to all of the men and women in manufacturing who work hard to supply Americans with all that they need. #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment?

The Winning Co-Packing Playbook Play 5:?Ongoing Training and Skill Development ?? Football players at every level engage in regular drills and exercises to improve their skills. Likewise, top co-packing organizations invest in ongoing training and development to enhance team members' abilities.??For example, we constantly deploy over-the-shoulder coaching for our line leads and quality managers, and our online course curriculum now includes close to 30 courses in key fundamentals to co-packing. #WinningCoPackingPlaybook

Tomorrow is North Carolina Day, so you know what that means – we want to give a special shoutout to our Winston-Salem crew! North Carolina has been the home base of our South Atlantic operations since we opened our doors in 2000. We’re forever grateful to our amazing teams in North Carolina who continue to go above and beyond. And of course, we also want to thank our Florida, Indiana, Texas and Pennsylvania teams – who collaborate across states to get the job done for our customers, every time. We’re only as good as our people, and that’s what makes us great. #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment?

Play 4 in The Winning Co-Packing Playbook:?Focus on Fundamentals Watch a great football practice and see players emphasize mastering the basics, such as blocking, tackling, executing plays and dominating the line of scrimmage.??Similarly, best-in-class co-packing teams focus on operational excellence by honing fundamental processes and ensuring that core tasks are performed efficiently and effectively. For professionals – in the football field and co-packing, the details matter. Every movement is on purpose, and the pace and energy-levels are constant and inspiring. ? #WinningCoPackingPlaybook #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment?

Kudos to our friends at JT Logistics for hosting the Folds of Honor 2024 Charity Golf Outing event and thank you for the opportunity to sponsor a hole!

Football and co-packing have more in common than you may think. That’s why we’ve put together The Winning Co-Packing Playbook.?Play 3: Continuous Feedback and Improvement?? In football, coaches provide constant feedback during practices, within the game and in film reviews, helping players refine their techniques and approaches to various situations. Similarly, best-in-class co-packing teams emphasize continuous feedback loops, using performance data to identify areas for improvement, quickly and efficiently. #WinningCoPackingPlaybook #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment?
