Departments such as marketing, sales, procurement, legal, distribution, quality con- trol, manufacturing and warehousing all have unique demands on the packaging.

This course was created for everyone that wants a broad understanding of the packag- ing industry whether just starting one’s ca- reer or if they are a seasoned professional. Packaging 101 Boot Camp will provide the vo- cabulary needed to communicate with stake- holders across the value packaging chain. The course includes a printable 182-page reference manual designed to help apply the course content and develop a better under- standing of the materials so attendees can begin using their new-found knowledge right away. Completing the reference manual will also help build a customized packaging re- source that can be used long after the course has ended. TPS is a global platform where attendees can learn skills on a variety of topics, such as polymers, packaging machinery, consumer packaged goods branding, distribution test- ing, supply chain optimization, sustainable packaging, contract manufacturing, process- ing, design software, and more.
