It’s that time of year again; fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, and lunchboxes packed with love. The scent of new school supplies, the anticipation of a fresh start, and the quiet hum of preparation fill the air. But what often goes unseen is the incredible journey these essentials take before they ever reach a classroom.
Behind every back-to-school moment is a supply chain working overtime, and Greif is right there, playing a critical role.
At Greif, our purpose is clear: Creating packaging solutions for life’s essentials. And few things are more essential than helping students, teachers, and families start the school year strong.
The Packaging Behind the Magic
Before a box of crayons is opened, before a juice box is slipped into a lunch bag, there’s a complex and critical process at work. Greif’s fiber drums and containers are essential in safely transporting the raw materials that make it all possible. From the wax and pigments used in colorful crayons and the pigments in colored pencils, to the ingredients in peanut butter, applesauce, and juice boxes, our packaging ensures these essentials arrive intact and on time.
Even the cleaning supplies that keep classrooms safe and healthy depend on the reliable protection of Greif containers because a clean learning environment is just as essential as the pencils on a desk.
Quietly Powering the Season
Our packaging may not appear in the classroom photos or lunchroom laughs, but it’s there every step of the way. From the factory floor to the school hallway, Greif solutions help manufacturers deliver everything needed for a successful school year.
So, while the backpacks get filled, we’re proud to help fill the shelves. Quietly, reliably, and with purpose, Greif is helping to power the back-to-school season.
