Second-Quarter Sales Review: Custom Folding Carton Sales up 19.9%; Stock Packaging Sales Build on Improved Market Conditions

• Sales of folding cartons, which include custom folding cartons and stock packaging, were $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 18.6% from $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2010.
• For the second consecutive quarter, custom folding carton sales reached a record, advancing to $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 19.9% from $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, mainly due to increased business from several large existing customers, business from three new customers, and increased waste sales due to improved market conditions, offset partially by decreased business with several existing customers.
• Stock packaging sales of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 were up 10.7% from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Improved market conditions had a favorable impact on the stock packaging line.
• Personalized print sales were $796,000 in the second quarter of 2011, down 7.0% from $856,000 in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to continued weakness in this market.

David B. Lupp, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “We continue to focus on ways to grow our top line, and we have invested in the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts. Those activities, together with improved economic conditions and our longstanding growth initiatives, helped us generate our second consecutive quarter of record custom folding carton sales.”
