Panini America Behind the Scenes: Packing Out 2011-12 Dominion Hockey (Gallery)

Earlier this week, on a special midday excursion to the Panini America production facility to film the final segments for a special video project that you’ll see right here on The Knight’s Lance in the coming days, Chris Reed and I got to witness the closing stages of the packout process for 2011-12 Dominion Hockey.

We watched in amazement as Panini America’s Karvin Cheung, Chris Barr and Tim Trout gave the white-glove treatment — literally — to each and every box they were packing out by hand. You’ll be able to appreciate their efforts firsthand yourself beginning next Friday when Dominion releases.

Until then, we thought you might enjoy the following images that take you directly to the production line on the last day of packout, a painstaking process earmarked by precision, pomp and considerable circumstance.

As for that aforementioned video project that’s more than seven months in the making? Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
