Biddeford, Maine based Volk Packaging will host a ‘BOX 101’ workshop on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at its facility at 11 Morin Street.
This introduction to corrugated manufacturing and purchasing is designed for customers and others interested in learning more about the process.
The session will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and will begin with a tour of the plant, where attendees will see Volk’s operation firsthand, including its recently installed Apstar 4-color flexo and 5-color rotary die cutter.
After the tour, the group will move into a classroom setting for a practical discussion of the basics—tests, flute profiles, board grades, and common box styles—along with a closer look at how to read a quote. The goal is to give attendees a clearer sense of how boxes are specified, priced, and produced, particularly for those who may not work with these details every day.
The workshop is open to anyone interested, regardless of whether they currently buy from Volk. The morning will wrap up with lunch.
Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP in advance. Questions and RSVP responses can be directed to Kathy Napolitano at Volk Packaging, at kathy@volkboxes.com or (207) 571-5573.
