Greetings,

2005 has been a great year for DDL.  We wish to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers and employees for making DDL a successful one-stop-shop for testing services.

In October, DDL was named a Growth 50 company by the Twin Cities Business Journal for its rapid company growth.

DDL attributes part of its record growth to its growing Suite of PackServices.  PackReview(SM), the DDL approved ISO 11607 clause 7 certification which was launched in March, has now been officially service marked.

DDL was delighted to appear on the cover of the July 2005 issue of Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News.  The article, entitled “Simplifying Testing” supports DDL’s drive to provide customers with a simple, convenient one-stop shop for all of their testing needs.

As 2005 comes to a close, DDL also reflects on the hardship endured by hurricane-stricken Americans and encourages companies and individuals nationwide to contribute to the Hurricane relief efforts

Please pass this newsletter to a packaging professional whom you think can benefit from quarterly packaging industry updates.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,
John E. Hart
CEO, DDL
&
Patrick Nolan
COO, DDL
