The dirt on lawn and garden packaging

Charles Ratterree is art director as well as flexible packaging materials buyer for privately held Fafard Inc., a lawn and garden products company with headquarters in Agawam, MA.

PW: What is the advantage to your dual position?

Ratterree: Our brand is sold only in independent garden centers, but we are also heavily involved in private labeling and custom blending. My position allows me to work closely with both sales and manufacturing. Managing art with manufacturing in mind gives us a unique sales advantage.
