Every day, corrugated manufacturers lose money to defects they often accept as “part of the process.” Warp, washboarding, poor bonding, misalignment, and excessive waste quietly erode productivity, increase costs, and impact customer satisfaction. But what if those hidden losses could be measured—and eliminated?
To help manufacturers uncover these costly inefficiencies, AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, will host “The Hidden Factory Tax: How Poor Corrugated Sheet Quality Steals Profit” webinar on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET. The webinar is complimentary for AICC members.
This practical webinar will explore how sheet quality issues affect plant performance and the bottom line. Attendees will learn how to identify the true cost of quality challenges and discover strategies to improve corrugator performance, reduce waste, and increase profitability.
With rising costs and growing customer expectations, optimizing sheet quality is more important than ever. This webinar will provide manufacturers with actionable insights they can apply immediately at their plant.
Don La Commare, founder of Adhesion Sciences Inc. and partner of INSCO Learning, will serve as the featured speaker. Mr. La Commare brings more than 50 years of experience in the paper converting and corrugated industries, with expertise spanning adhesives, coatings, equipment, and converting operations.
