Cardboard Fans To Be Manufactured In A New Lebanon, IN Plant

Published on

No fans? No problem. A new plant in Lebanon, IN is ready to produce cardboard cutouts to fill empty sports stadiums.

The company, DS Smith, a sustainable packaging firm, has found a creative way to give athletes a safe dose of support and is the first in the US to announce designs, large-scale manufacturing plans.

Sports teams looking to resume games without spectators can safely fill their empty seats and create some much-needed atmosphere, thanks to DS Smith. A leading provider of sustainable corrugated packaging, the company has readied production of recyclable cardboard replacement fans for use at arenas forced to limit attendance of the real thing.

DS Smith announced Thursday, June 25, 2020, the launch of its design and manufacturing plans, which includes an initial approach to the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, and Major League Soccer – offering quick, reliable, and sustainable options for teams wanting to fill empty venues.

“We look to sports as a unifier, and that’s been missing. We want to help solve that. By using a versatile material like cardboard, we can support teams across the country to design a unique atmosphere while fans stay home to maintain social distancing because of the coronavirus,’’ said Barry Nelson, managing director of Sales, Marketing and Innovation for the North America Packaging and Paper Division of DS Smith.

DS Smith is a veteran international player on the packaging scene and recently expanded its North American box-making and recycling operations. In the UK, it already is producing customized, branded “fans,” made of recycled, corrugated material. They easily slip over stadium seats, and soccer clubs in Europe are allowing the replica supporters to be displayed during matches.

DS Smith, the first U.S. manufacturer to unveil large-scale, sustainable cardboard production plans to help enliven the nation’s sports scene, will make the likenesses of cheering male and female fans at its newly opened packaging plant in Lebanon, Ind., and another in Columbia, S.C.

They’ll have arms raised, some in a V for victory, and with in-house pre-print capabilities, can be custom designed in a combination of tones, in solid or striped clothing to match team colors and even holding images of a foam finger or baseball bat.

Sporting events across the country are working on safe ways to move forward, some limiting the number of spectators and others prohibiting any onsite, the result of physical-distancing measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus. The NBA is among those close to resuming its abbreviated season, beginning next month at Walt Disney World in Florida. And MLB has issued a 60-game schedule to start in late July in empty ballparks.

Nelson said that besides approaching pro leagues, DS Smith will reach out to universities, high schools and others eager to fill their seats with a bit of normalcy during games. The Indiana plant, for example, can produce more than 50,000 durable, corrugated fans in an eight-hour shift.

“There is a motivation that goes with playing. This simulates having real fans in the seats and gives a sense of perspective to the players that they’re not all alone,” Nelson said.

The company’s creation of a literal, sustainable fanbase includes water-resistant cutouts for outdoor venues, using its patented Greencoat, a wax-free, 100% recyclable material. The indoor cardboard fans will be fully recyclable as well.

Chip Seal Preservation Project Scheduled

Published on

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a chip seal preservation project is scheduled to begin on U.S. 421 on Monday, June 29, weather permitting. Work is scheduled to begin on U.S. 421 from S.R. 47 to just south of S.R. 38 in Kirklin. Then crews will move to U.S. 421 from the north junction of S.R. 38 up to Rossville. Work is scheduled to last through Thursday, July 2.

Drivers can expect lane restrictions and traffic directed by flagging operations while INDOT maintenance crews maintain access for vehicles. Motorists are urged to seek an alternate route. If driving through the chip seal work zone, drivers should take extra caution, drive slowly and allow additional space between vehicles to prevent stone chips from damaging windshields or paint.

Once the chip seal has cured, crews will sweep the highway clear of loose stone, apply a fog seal surface coat and paint pavement markings.
