al evaluation methods relevant to printed and functional electronics, students gain hands-on experience that mir- rors real production environments. ICPF’s support directly enhances the skills our graduates bring to the packaging industry.” said Dr. Bilge Nazli Altay, Assistant Professor. The new equipment will be integrated into core courses such as Gravure and Flexography, Packaging Printing, and Packaging Materials, Processes and Applications, and will support lab activities, student assignments, thesis work, and capstone projects. The instruments will also open new research and outreach opportunities while increasing vis- ibility for ICPF through acknowledgment in publications, conference presentations, and external communications. “ICPF is proud to support Rochester Institute of Tech- nology as it continues its packaging and graphic media education,” said Caitlin Salaverria, President of ICPF. “By investing in advanced testing and quality control technol- ogies, we’re helping ensure that students graduate with the hands-on experience, technical skills, and industry awareness needed to succeed in corrugated packaging and related fields. These projects exemplify how targeted investments can elevate education, research, and work- force readiness.” ICPF has worked for four decades to advance student and faculty knowledge of the corrugated industry and to promote the development of a highly trained workforce.
Delivered in the form of a 2026 desktop calendar, the project goes beyond design aesthetics to provide a tangi- ble, hands-on example of how modern coating materials, controlled press processes, and Apex’s GTT anilox tech- nology work together to achieve measurable improve- ments in consistency, finish quality, and coating efficiency.
