Introduction to Corrugated Design
Join Jane Scates, a seasoned structural designer, as she instructs you in the art of corrugated design. Jane searched everywhere for a basic how-to-design course, but there wasn't one out there that actually showed how to design with corrugated. Wanting to provide a solid corrugated design course, Jane, along with the amazing team at the Packaging School, developed this course to meet that need.

What You Will Learn
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of corrugated, how to identify corrugated board, and how to use it. Using the knowledge from the first unit, you will then be instructed in how to design a pad, a roll or scored sheet, a regular slotted carton (RSC), a one-piece folder (OPF), a tray, a die-cut mailer, and a tray with interlocking dividers.
