Companies donate to Look Good ... Feel Better cause.

* Diamond Packaging, Hazen Paper Company, MeadWestvaco and Flutes LLC have teamed up to donate 60,000 cartons for the Look-Good ... Feel Better program, co-sponsored by the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA), the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Cosmetology Association (NCA).

The program helps women cancer patients regain their self-esteem by overcoming the appearance-related side effects of chemotherapy. The three sponsor companies will work together to provide patient education, free program materials, cosmetic products and expert advice on using those products.

The Look Good ... Feel Better program includes a cosmetic kit with colorful artwork, partner logos and a carrying handle. The box is filled with products donated by leading companies in the cosmetics industry. The kit is complimentary to thousands of women who participate in the group sessions each year.

The packaging team created a sturdy, attractive carton constructed of SBS board laminated to e-flute corrugated board. MeadWestvaco donated the SBS board, which was sent to Hazen Paper, who applied a pearlescent coating. Diamond Packaging then printed the SBS board, prior to sending it to Flutes, LLC for lamination. Diamond performed the final operations, including folding and gluing the cartons, then delivered them to the CTFA warehouse in Atlanta, GA.

"The kit box is truly the icing on the cake," said Carolyn Deaver, vice president of the Look Good ... Feel Better Foundation. "When women cancer patients sit down at a group LGFB session and see the beautiful box containing donated cosmetics, they are thrilled."
