She Said Yes!
Mark Lackey and David Lukshus just popped the question to Lindsey Frimming, Cog’s first employee, to be their lawfully bound business partner. Typical of Lindsey, she took it in stride with a bright smile and a single remark, “Duh!”
Legend has it Lindsey once figured out a way to print on the surface of water. She’s tight-lipped about it, but we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, as her talent for innovation is prodigious. As Cog’s Chief Innovation Officer, she can do more of what she’s done ever since she joined Cog as our first hire in 2010: impress us, our clients, and our competition. *sniff* WE LOVE YOU, LINDSEY!

Our Journey to Innovative Labeling Solutions (ILS)
The Innovative Labeling Solutions Open House. Thanks to Eric Knop (far right), the Cogs were there. We hate to let a learning moment get by us, and we saw this one as a must. ILS, based in Hamilton, Ohio, is one of those bright stars in the packaging design-to-print universe we’ve gazed upon for many years. They live up to the innovation claim in their name, and showed all of us attendees how it’s done. In partnership with H-P and ABG, and packaging development guru Michael Ferrari, ILS put on an impressive demonstration of their label and shrink-sleeve capabilities. All of their equipment impressed us, but their new H-P Indigo GEM, which allows digital printing and embellishments such as foil, spot, tactile, cast & cure, and special effects, was out of this world… and, as you might have guessed, right up our alley.
