“We want to play our part in developing the next gener- ation of packaging professionals and innovators, and that starts with fostering deeper understanding technical cor- rugated packaging elements – information that typically, has been held by an experienced older generation ageing out of the workforce. This is a challenge the packaging sector has been up against for some time, which makes initiatives such as the AICC Packaging School so import- ant to the industry.” In addition to supporting key knowledge of corrugated packaging production, the course will also include infor- mation on periphery products and technologies, such as coatings and finishes. This includes Bobst oneBARRIER, an EVOH-free trans- parent monomaterial solution developed jointly by Bobst, Dow, Zermatt and Sun Chemical, that eliminates the need for a top coat. The technology has been developed to maximize the amount of PE in packaging structures, with the goal of increasing recyclability in a more economical and high-barrier packaging solution. “We are proud to be education investors, added Corti. “Our commitments today don’t just help to create a stron- ger foundation of knowledge for the next generation of packaging operatives, designers and developers, they also create a more robust long-term future for the packag- ing sector. We have a role to play in making that a reality
– and we’re extremely proud of that.” Visit https://packagingschool.com .
