Taking Packaging to Heart

Not only that, but Picciolo takes care of his employees with a comprehensive benefit plan and slightly higher salaries than competing package printers. He calls it his ratio of scale. "I think that we pay a little more than the average folding carton company out there as far as scale," he says. "They have all their paid holidays and all their medical. The environment is pretty good here." Picciolo adds that he and Ranone aren't on top of the employees all the time. "Everyone does [his or her] own job," he says. "They are all family-oriented people, and they are here to work."
