ICPF Presents New Zund Digital Cutter To Clemson University The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) announced the donation of brand-new equipment for students at the Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics. The new high production Zünd Digital Cut- ter G3 L-3200 replaces previous equipment used in their Prototyping Lab. “ICPF was delighted to step up and secure this much needed equipment for coursework, student projects and to enable participation in many packaging competitions,” said ICPF President, Caitlin Salaverria. “The digital cutter will produce cutting-edge prototype productions for Clemson students from multiple programs, including packaging science, graphic communications,
computer science, architecture, and engineering. With the diverse and varied job opportunities available in the corru- gated packaging industry, the donation allows expanded knowledge and increased exposure for students pursuing various degrees, helping us with our mission to grow the labor force of the corrugated packaging industry.” Clemson University Packaging Program Director, Dr. Greg Batt said that one of their greatest strengths is edu- cating industry ready graduates and that their partnership with ICPF enables them to better equip the next genera- tion of top graduates. “This generous equipment donation by ICPF puts a state-of-the-art sample cutter in the hands of 520 under- graduate students through 20 classes that we teach in package design and graphics on a yearly basis,” Batt said. “These students will compete in the classroom and in numerous national design competitions in packaging de-
sign and graphics and will take these skills right into the companies they will work for.” As an industry sponsored foundation, Salaverria said that ICPF has worked for the last 30 years to advance student and faculty knowledge of the industry and to promote development of a highly trained workforce. “We’ve provided over $13 million in do- nations of equipment and grants to univer- sities and look forward to expanding our efforts over the coming years,” Salaverria said.
