Converting Department
The Converting Department is where the material is taken and completed to the customer’s specifications. In this department, we have slitting and converting positions. Slitting operators take the large film rolls, and then them cut into more manageable-sized rolls for our customers. In the Converting department, the team makes bags out of printed and plain rolls. Inspector Packers inspect the bags to ensure the product meets the customer’s specifications and then pack the boxes for shipping.
What our team says about working at PPI
"We produce quality products while providing our customers with solutions to their packaging needs. One of the best things I like about PPI is that there has never been a layoff even in the tough times of 2020, so if one is looking for a stable work environment, look no further."
"I started my journey with PPI back in 2011, there hasn’t been one day where I haven’t enjoyed coming to work. To be surrounded by great team members is fantastic. PPI is big on promoting within and treat you like family is why I enjoy working here so much. PPI believes in their people and it shows that's the key why they’re so successful in what they do."
"Working here feels like a 2nd family. I love the chance to cross train in different areas of the company to build my skills and gain knowledge in the whole company. We have great teamwork and I appreciate safety being a #1 priority."
"As the old saying goes; if you love your job you will never work a day in your life. I love my position at PPI. It starts with a great group of people from top to bottom within the organization. Owners who truly care, who have been very successful, but never forget the most important part of their organization which is the people who help run it!"
“18 years of working with PPI have been very successful for me, my family, and PPI. I have had the privilege of working with great people and seeing this company grow. It has been a great experience!”

From ownership to every employee that walks in the door each day, we are a solid team working towards a common goal."
"As a CSR it is really great to work for a company that makes such a good, reliable product. We have a really good work team with lots of collaboration. Reinvestment in the company is ongoing and has been in my years of employment--that makes an employee feel secure."
