‘This is Hammer Packaging’s 14th time receiving this prestigious designation,’ said Jim Hammer, president and CEO of Hammer Packaging. ‘It’s an honor to be recognized by the industry, and our employees, as a company that offers a superior workplace.’

A panel of highly respected human resource professionals with decades of experience in the graphic arts industry reviewed the submissions. All of the winning companies actively show their employees that they care about their work environment, their personal goals and ambitions, as well as the needs of the company. Applicants were judged on eight criteria: management practices; work environment; training and development opportunities; financial security; workplace health and safety; work-life balance; recognition and rewards; and health and wellness programs.

Michael Makin, president and CEO of Printing Industries of Americas added: ‘Best Workplace in the Americas winners routinely recognize that success is generated in many ways, and importantly, through their employees. Congratulations to Hammer Packaging.’
