In this episode of The Think Factory Podcast, host Chris Santomassimo is joined by Hilda Murray and Blaes Green of TPC Packaging and Emily Leonczyk of the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) for a conversation at the intersection of family-owned business, innovation, and industry collaboration.
Hilda shares TPC’s remarkable 100-year legacy as a third and fourth-generation family-owned company specializing in luxury packaging for cosmetics, spirits, pharmaceuticals, and collectibles. Known for its award-winning designs and advanced technologies such as digital foiling and Skodex embellishment, TPC continues to blend artistry, technology, and craftsmanship to create packaging that elevates brands and captures consumer attention.
Emily provides insights into the 96-year-old Paperboard Packaging Council, a trade association representing folding carton and rigid box suppliers across North America. PPC supports the industry through training, advocacy, networking, and its signature carton competition, while fostering a culture where even competitors collaborate to solve challenges and drive innovation. The discussion wraps with anticipation for PPC’s upcoming Fall Conference in Vancouver, underscoring the packaging industry’s strength in community, innovation, and shared growth.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
