As we live our lives, whether at home, at work, at school or at play; we need things to make things happen. As such, food, clothing, toys and tools are nearly always sent packed and protected from the manufacturer to the user in some form of corrugated packaging. For more than a century it has been a significant packaging format with ever evolving solutions that meet the changing needs of suppliers and customers alike.
.

In this introduction to corrugated packaging course,participants will get an overview of materials used and manufacturing processes employed in the creation of corrugated solutions of various types of packaging. From strawberry punnets to bulk chilled seafood packs; from shelf ready display shipper to merchandising stand, the humble corrugated box has evolved stretching the imaginations of artists and engineers alike.
.

It is through that constant evolution of corrugated solutions that greater efficiencies can be achieved not only in terms of packaging costs but also time, energy, cooling, ripening and recyclability. For corrugated is a total supply chain solution and one that has always worked to deliver greater sustainability of this generation and the next.

OBJECTIVES?

Through this course, participants will gain an understanding of the following:

• How corrugated can be engineered to deliver both traditional and emerging market needs around product protection, presentation and cost management.
• How different papers and materials used in corrugated packaging can create options to assist future projects.
• The corrugating process with it’s opportunities to create different board structures.
• The various conversion equipment available and style options of packaging produced.
• Different printing processes and substrate requirements to deliver the right market presence.

The course explores numerous areas of packaging and supply chain technology that are key to engineering corrugated solutions for success and avoidance of costly errors. Regulatory compliance, industry standards and packaging specification knowledge are all part of getting your packaging right from the start. Finally, the course will look at sustainability in the real world and how corrugated packaging is playing a leading role in the delivery of responsible packaging for the generations to come.
