CHICAGO – August 6, 2021 – Two Sides North America is pleased to welcome The Printing Industry of  the Carolinas, Inc. (PICA), as our newest member. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, PICA is the regional graphics trade association serving the commercial printing, digital, wide format, mailing and packaging industries in North and South Carolina. The association provides educational programs, networking opportunities, buying power programs and conferences geared toward the printing industry.

“Printers play a vital role in helping to educate print buyers and other decision makers about the sustainability, effectiveness and relevance of print, paper and paper-based packaging in today’s omni-channel world,” says Two Sides North America President Kathi Rowzie. “Two Sides is pleased to add PICA to our growing list of industry association members, and we invite their members to join us as well.”

PICA has long supported efforts to bring sustainable practices to the print market. It endorses the Regional Affiliate Certification Group (RACG), which provides cost-effective ways for its members to obtain Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification.

Two Sides is a valuable partner in our research and dissemination of information that supports our mission.”
