Introducing Packaging Speaks: A New Podcast for Packaging Engineers

We’re excited (and a little nervous) to announce the launch of Packaging Speaks, a brand-new podcast from PackStaff, created for the Packaging Engineering community. Hosted by our Managing Director, Christian Ellis, this podcast is a platform where real conversations happen: with professionals who’ve shaped, and are still redefining what it means to thrive in the packaging industry.

First Episode Drops May 2nd! We’re kicking things off with a special guest: Walt Ellis, the founder of PackStaff and a staple of the packaging engineering world. From launching our company to mentoring a generation of engineers, Walt brings decades of insight, perspective, and (let’s be honest) some great stories.

New Episodes Every Other Week! Each episode dives deep into the lives and lessons of packaging professionals at every stage of their career. This season, you’ll hear from standout voices like:

• Danica VanBeek 

• Jesse Schwartz 

• Elizabeth Jeffries 

• Camille Corr Chism 

  
  

  …and that’s just the beginning.

Why Listen? Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned pro, Packaging Speaks gives you:

• Career advice that’s actually useful

• Stories from people who’ve been where you are

• A peek into the future of packaging from those shaping it

• Practical tips on consulting, innovation, hiring, and more

  
  

Think of it as mentorship in your earbuds.
