About
The Instructor

Dr. Andrew Hurley | Founder and Associate Professor

Packaging and entrepreneurship came together at an early age for Dr. Andrew Hurley. As a young boy, he molded and sold pewter figurines, but inadequate shipping materials led to breakage. Frustrated, he set to researching better packaging alternatives … and he hasn’t ever stopped.

Dr. Hurley is an Associate Professor at Clemson University in the Department of Food, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences. He leads the packaging design emphasis area, where he researches how to leverage packaging to solve even the toughest supply chain challenges.

Includes Printable Workbook

The course includes a printable 200-page workbook designed to help you apply the course content and develop a better understanding of the materials so you can begin using your newfound knowledge right away.

*Time to complete the workbook is not included in the daily time estimate for the course. The workbook is not graded but the more effort you put into it, the more useful it will be to you for years to come.

Manufacturing Engineering Specialist at Valmet Automotive

After so much procrastinations and contemplations, I have accomplished this informative course on Automotive packaging officially organised by packagingschool.com. My takes from this accomplishment are further comprehension on what OEMs, Tier 1, and Tier 2 suppliers are involved in during vehicle manufacturing from packaging point of view. I recommend this course to anyone interested in going down this lane.
