Helping you succeed in a complex field
If you don't have a packaging degree or need more knowledge to deliver solutions drawn from increasingly complex options, then IoPP's Fundamentals of Packaging Technology course can help you fill in the gaps. It teaches you about every significant packaging segment, and you grow professionally.
In-person, onsite
If choosing the in-person, onsite option, take as few as 2-1/2 days to cover a specific subject area, such as plastics or paperboard. Or, get the "big picture" of packaging by taking all ten days. The Fundamentals of Packaging Technology course is divided into four semesters. Each is 2-1/2 days long and covers specific topics such as paper, plastics, cans, and bottles. Semesters include information on decorating, labeling, protective packaging, closures, and machinery—a thorough exploration of Packaging 101. Take one semester at a time, in any order, or take all four semesters. Choose the topics you need to reach the level of professional development you want.
