It has a barrier to air and moisture like a blister pack, and you get exact dosing with single serv- ing packs. It’s more convenient, it’s healthier, and it’s much better for the environment. Plus, it’s a better presentation from a marketing standpoint. With the carton, you have more surface area to promote your message than you do on a bottle label. So that’s really exciting and it’s going to be a very big advantage for us.” MedPax, another one of XYMOGEN’s innova- tions, has also been updated, recently, as part of the company’s Clean Seas Initiative. MedPax are individual dose packs for patients with multiple formulas that have been put into individual packs for daytime, evening, and bedtime use. Formerly offered in plastic bottles, they now will be de- livered in cartons. “That’s eliminated hundreds of thousands of bottles since we initiated that program,” says Blackburn. “Lastly, as part of our Clean Seas Initiative, because we’re doing so much in cartons, we’ve expanded our print division, now called XYMO- Print,” Blackburn says. The company is currently assembling a brand new, HP Indigo 30,000 digital press in its new building. “There are only 24 of them in the whole United States,” he claims. “It’s, by far, the most advanced, digital, folding carton press. It’s going to do all of our cartons - 4,600 sheets per hour and those sheets are 600 square inches. So, we’re able to get all the carton busi- ness for Renew Life and Isagenix.We anticipate that for the XYMOPrint division, the prospects are just extraordinary; the potential is almost hard to calculate.” While taking care of its customers, and even the world’s oceans, XYMOGEN is not forgetting its own employees. “We’re setting up XYMOGYM next door,” Blackburn reports. “We’ve always had a fitness/workout/basketball facility here in our original building, but as we grew, it became too small. So, we’re converting that into a café, which we didn’t have before. And then, we’ve set aside about 9,000 square feet, next door, for our new basketball court and much expanded fitness facility for the corporate wellness program we’re introducing. As a health and wellness company we want to give our employees the opportunity, onsite, for health and wellness classes and facil- ities to accomplish that. So, as you can see, there are a lot of things happening.”
