In today’s challenging packaging environment, you can’t afford to make mistakes or overlook the critical details that cost time and money. You need the knowledge – from materials properties and selection to transport packaging issues – that can help you make better decisions regarding your company’s packaging dollars.
A new course offered by the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), the Fundamentals of Packaging Technology, has course content that has been developed in consultation with packaging subject matter experts at leading global consumer packaged goods companies who face packaging challenges just like yours. Undertake the complete course and learn about all the major segments of packaging and beyond.
The AIP, in partnership with the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP), are bringing the Fundamentals of Packaging Technology course to Australasia as a residential course for the first time in 2020. The residential course is divided into semesters to provide maximum flexibility around your work schedule. This course is also the basis for the examination side of the Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) designation; bringing you one step closer to becoming an internationally recognised CPP.
The course will be broken up into 4x two-day semesters over a 12 month period. An array of packaging topics will be covered including graphic design, market research, printing, lithography, gravure, labelling, barcoding, paperboard, folding cartons, corrugate fibreboard, box compression, supply chain and logistics, polymers, extrusion moulding, flexible packaging, thermoforming, blow moulding, injection moulding, closures, bottle design, metal cans, adhesives, containers, glass packaging, packaging machinery, filling machinery, production line equipment and more.
