Whether it\u2019s right-sizing a package, recommending a different product or method, evaluating processes, identifying sustainable solutions, or recommending automation, we have an extensive portfolio of products, equipment, and services to meet a range of packaging needs.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7344\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7344\" src=\"https:\/\/scw-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/Jill-and-John-Gaynor.jpg\" alt=\"Jill and John Gaynor\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jill and John Gaynor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Seamlessly balancing the values of curiosity and collaboration with its owners\u2019 entrepreneurial spirit, Premier not only celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2024, but the business also became female owned and operated. While still in the process of obtaining the Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBNEC) certification, Premier is set for a new era of growth and innovation with Jill at the helm.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Inspirational leadership<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With these achievements in mind, we\u2019re keen to hear more about Jill\u2019s career journey to CEO. \u201cI started out working for an advertising agency based out of Louisville working in a Chicago territory. My husband, John, and his two business partners set up Premier, where I was often assisting them in whatever they needed in the background whether it was marketing materials or renovating buildings and space as they grew,\u201d she explains. \u201cOver time, John and I became the sole owners of Premier, and after raising our four children, I started an interior design and home staging business from the ground up. That business ran successfully for around 12 years before I was asked to come onboard with Premier in a more forward-facing role as Chief Marketing Officer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI was thrilled to officially establish a marketing department and build a team to take our marketing efforts to the next level. I\u2019m very much a data girl, and while marketing is conceptual, it\u2019s also very strategic in how you best advertise, promote, and communicate the company\u2019s services across different platforms. The next big change came in 2024 when John transitioned to the role of President, and I became CEO. It has certainly been a very busy few years but it\u2019s great to be in a better position to have more positive impacts on the business by implementing new policies to the company, such as our maternity and parental leave program.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Following this, we ask Jill to share her reflections on being a woman in industry. \u201cI personally don\u2019t know anything different because I\u2019ve always worked in male-dominated industries; I worked with a large trucking company in Chicago, then dealt with the construction world while managing my interior design business,\u201d she shares. \u201cWhen I was younger, I felt that I almost had to prove myself, but I think that has evolved in a more positive way for women joining these industries today. It\u2019s important to learn a lot in those early years and develop a tough skin ready for leadership positions, but that really could be for anyone.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt\u2019s been an interesting journey but what matters more than anything is that I love who I work and interact with on a day-to-day basis. I\u2019m constantly asking questions and challenging our employees to pass along their knowledge to not only share it with the wider team but also to train the next generation.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sustainable solutions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Elaborating on the company\u2019s product portfolio, Jill continues: \u201cWe provide packaging solutions for any delivery that shows up on your front porch, whether that\u2019s corrugated boxes, mailers, or any packaging inside the box like air pillows or protective paper. We offer a range of mailers including poly, paper, padded, and non-padded, as well as packaging supplies, and we can also provide luxury or sustainable solutions to meet specific requirements.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI\u2019m very excited to announce the launch of our first padded paper mailer into the market,\u201d she reveals. \u201cWe successfully developed technology that enables existing equipment to create the paper mailers, and even have patents pending in this space. I\u2019m constantly amazed by the talent and drive of our people, and I\u2019m so proud to see how they come together to create innovative products that meet the needs of our evolving industry.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7345\" src=\"https:\/\/scw-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/02\/Premier-Packaging-121-body-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" \/>\u201cSustainability is a continuously evolving topic in the US, with many policies being state regulated rather than decided at a federal level. For Premier, sustainability is not just products but also processes. Right sizing a box, for instance, enables an increased transport load, which eventually reduces carbon emissions.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Collaboration is key<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With such a wide-ranging portfolio, a key part of Premier\u2019s approach to customer service is identifying the correct solution for each application. \u201cWe\u2019re constantly evolving the ways in which we work with customers to better understand their expectations and communicate effectively,\u201d Jill says. \u201cWe have an internal onboarding process for each new customer to ask questions and gain an accurate understanding of the customers\u2019 needs or problems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThese core ethics and beliefs extend to all areas of the business, as we believe building positive relationships, whether with customers or suppliers, is necessary to any company\u2019s success. John and I are very thankful for where we are and what we\u2019ve achieved, so we\u2019re passionate about giving back.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe have a formal philanthropic system for financial contributions, where we provide corporate guidelines and allocate each region a budget but allow our employees to decide which organization to donate to. However, while financial tokens are wonderful, we also hold a \u2018day of giving\u2019 for employees to volunteer the gift of time to their chosen charity and we celebrate these days at the end of the year.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Continuous investment<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When it comes to manufacturing, Premier is actively investing to improve its operations and boost efficiency. \u201cAround three years ago, we made significant investments to add state-of-the-art equipment and implement some automation across our plants,\u201d Jill explains. \u201cOur die cutting machine, for example, enables both inside and outside printing with one pass, and our vacuum transfer of the machine automatically picks and moves boxes more efficiently. These are just two examples of how such investments have dramatically enhanced our operational efficiency and reduced the ergonomic strain on employees.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cFuture state, we\u2019ll continue to equip our plants with best-in-class machinery, with potential to open new manufacturing plants in the future,\u201d Jill concludes as we ask what the future holds. \u201cWe recently held an international manufacturing and distribution summit to ensure our goals for the year ahead are aligned. In 2025 and beyond, our goal is to continue developing sales, finding the right clients and fit for us to educate customers and improve our internal processes.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Under Jill\u2019s leadership, Premier will continue to flourish, solving customers\u2019 packaging problems with an unrivaled manufacturing and distribution portfolio. Combined with the company\u2019s core values and its commitment to finding innovative solutions, there\u2019s no doubt that Premier will continue its current trajectory and soon be reaching more key milestones.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prempack.com\"><span
