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.

I had a great experience taking courses to receive this certificate from Clemson University in the Mastery of Packaging Management! There was so much information about all aspects of the packaging cycle, from branding and concepts, to project management, materials, manufacturing, sustainability, and so much more. I have greatly broadened my knowledge of the packaging industry as a whole, which was exactly what I hoped to gain from this program. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to take a deeper dive into the industry!

The Certificate of Mastery in Packaging Management was everything I needed at this time of my career development and I will highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for professional development in the packaging sector. The well structured curriculum and self-paced schedule exceeded my personal expectations. The overview of the entire packaging process was a perfect balance of information presented in a clear and engaging manner. To complete the experience, the program presents its students with the opportunity to develop Product Development Plan, which covers all spectrums of the process and gives a hands on experience from developing, through sustainability and manufacturing, to retail. My admiration to the whole Packaging School team and especially to Julie Rice Suggs, PhD who was beyond exceptional and supportive.
Graphic Designer / Freelancer
I'm happy to share with you something that I'm really proud of. After months of studying and true commitment, I now proudly have a certificate in packaging science by The Packaging School! As a graphic designer who is passionate about packaging design, I wanted to complement my graphic expertise by raising my packaging IQ in the technical and business sides of this very rich field. So, The Packaging School's online extensive course that covers the material, methods and machinery behind packaging seemed like the perfect match. I now know a lot more about what takes to create a successful packaging. I know how paper, metal and glass are made, what kinds of tests and regulations a packaging has to go through in the distribution system and how sustainability could be approached every step of the way! A big thank you to every team member who I had the chance to interact with during this program: Diana Whitaker, Julie Rice Suggs, PhD, Andrew Hurley, PhD and Drew Felty. You were all very supportive and nice and I really appreciated your efforts in making this experience as smooth as possible.

I'm extremely pleased to share that I've just completed a certificate in Packaging Management via the Center for Corporate Learning at Clemson University and The Packaging School. This program was thorough, intense and overall, excellent, and completing the certificate has given me a firm handle on the packaging sector and the entire packaging supply chain. My final project focused on one tropically-sourced food/beverage product -- taking it from innovation all the way to marketing, launch, and consumption. While the coursework covers sustainability, I was sure to bring my conservation and ESG perspective to every single vista of the packaging business. It's never too late to acquire more knowledge, and to ideate our collective future circular economy. I feel reenergized and hopeful about the future of sustainable design! #packaging #sustainability #management #supplychain

Packaging Engineer at Chamberlain Group
I am always open for new knowledge that helps me to growth both personal and professionally Thanks, Chamberlain Group for give that opportunity! The Packaging School courses and certificates are really helpful to strength your skills and knowledge of packaging world! growthmindset #packagingengineering #packagingdesign
At this point in my career, I was searching for an educational opportunity with the most comprehensive, data driven, and practical program and the CMPM offered that in droves. I was able to use my background to traverse other packaging disciplines and learn all new platforms I had interacted with but never had the chance to dive in. I recommend this program whether you’re just starting in packaging or even with several years under your belt.
I can honestly say that I applied elements of what I have learned from your program to this project, particularly in the area of building a timeline line and involving all stake holders in the process. We began shipping 3 weeks ago and the orders are increasing. Thanks again for all your help!
If you’re looking to increase your Packaging IQ. Here’s a good start! Despite having a degree in packaging and having worked in the industry for nearly 10 years, I still learned quite a bit. Very proud to share this achievement! Thank you Prof. Andrew Hurley, PhD, Julie Rice Suggs, PhD, and everyone at The Packaging School for putting together this program. It was a lot of fun and well designed! Cheers!
I joined because I love what I do as a Packaging Engineer. The Packaging School gives individuals the balance of utilizing his/her spare time while working full-time. I have recommended the program to colleagues and have boasted about it to upper management.
I enrolled to establish the basic fundamentals of packaging materials and processes to allow us to better serve our customers in these areas and speak intelligently to our vendors when requesting assistance.
I recently finished my first course, and I already see things differently inside my company and the position I would like to reach in my career journey. I seriously think that The Packaging School courses were the answer that I needed right now to make a further step into my personal education.
I loved the fact that the CMPM program was an interactive online series that inspired my creativity and enabled my ability to use new tools to take back to Nissan North America, Inc. It allowed me to implement an effective and efficient packaging process to help not only me, but my colleagues in their everyday performance on the job.
This program met my expectations. In this program we are learning more in-depth compared to what we could learn in school and at a much more accelerated pace. For the price and going through the program, this program met my objective.
When you are passionate about something, your education should never end. The Certificate of Mastery in Packaging Management from Clemson University's Center for Corporate Learning is one of the most comprehensive, challenging and viable programs I have ever seen. I am thankful for the opportunity, I am thankful to work for UPM Raflatac that provided this challenge and I am eager to transfer my knowledge to a great industry I have the privilege of working in.
Completed...Certificate of Mastery in Packaging Technology from The Packaging School and Clemson Center for Corporate Learning. Thanks you Prof. Andrew Hurley, PhD for knowledgeable course contents Thanks a lot Julie Rice Suggs, PhD as a great guide during the course
The Certificate of Master in Packaging Management is a great way to improve your technical packaging skills and make use of online learning. I liked the fact that you can complete the courses at your own pace each week and have access to knowledgeable packaging professionals throughout the program. Highly recommended.
Very excited to take and now complete the Certificate of Mastery in Packaging Management. This is a great course to build and reinforce packaging knowledge. Thanks to Raflatac for supporting my desire to continue to learn.
The CMPM program offers valuable insights into the latest packaging trends and processes. It also provides an excellent framework for project management. I highly encourage anyone who is interested in taking their packaging knowledge to the next level to take this course.
The CMPM is a great program for both up-and-coming professionals curious to know more about packaging engineering as well as seasoned packaging professionals who are looking to do deeper dives and obtain additional knowledge; very fun, useful and engaging overall!
I am now able to approach every packaging project with more confidence.
I am now regarded as having knowledge of the design field AND what looks good and functions well in the whole packaging supply chain.
The courses were very detailed and covered virtually every aspect of packaging types and processes.
The flexibility of the online program was perfect for my busy schedule.
Although I am currently in the corrugated industry this course gave me a great refresher on developing packaging for our current customers and new prospects. Very detailed and insightful into the “why” of consumer buying decisions. I use the framework for the project development plan daily and have asked my team of Account Managers and Designers to focus on key elements of the plan, specifically the needs analysis and market research portions.
I would highly recommend the CMPM Program to anyone wanting to increase their knowledge and skill sets online. The CMPM Program does a great job of presenting information in multiple formats and making the information engaging, easy to understand, and applicable to the real world. Both the CMPM Program and the staff make going back to school online highly achievable and satisfying.
I completed Packaging Sales Bootcamp where I learned the Sandler Selling System. Packaging Sales Bootcamp taught me to “Get rid of my head trash” and “Price does NOT matter”. I would recommend anyone in sales that has ever thought “There has to be a better way” to register for Packaging Sales Bootcamp.
Even with over 20 years of experience in the packaging field, the CMPM program expanded my packaging knowledge and helped me understand and learn about packaging materials and concepts that I have not previously been exposed to. This has opened up a world of opportunity that I would not have been able to enjoy if I had not enrolled in this program.
The CMPM is a very complete and inspiring program, its content has contributed to reinforce my knowledge in key areas such as materials, production processes, and supply chain. This allowed me to keep growing as a packaging professional and will further contribute to strengthen my value proposition and packaging solutions to my customers.
The CMPM was a constructive overview of all things packaging! The coursework provided was informational and applicable to everyday practices within our organization; laying the groundwork for what it takes to launch a package.
The CMPM program exceeded my expectations regarding packaging machine systems, sustainability, and point of purchase strategies, through a complete and holistic approach to the different aspects of packaging.
The CMPM journey was an opportunity to rediscover the packaging world. It provided me a full picture from the planning to the implementation of a new product, going through materials, processes, sustainability, consumers behaviors, and more. So now it’s time to create new packaging solutions.
CMPM provides a great overview of the entire packaging process, from concept to production. The program helped me gain a better understanding of regulations, sustainability, materials, manufacturing, and logistics, breaking down complex information and guiding me to apply my learnings week after week.
The Certificate of Mastery in Packaging Management is a valuable program that complimented my 20+ year work experience in the Beauty Industry and provided updated information in areas such as sustainability and advancements in material production and printing techniques. The online program was self-paced and thoroughly detailed the process of developing a consumer product from design & material through to logistics and testing protocols. Our advisor, Julie Rice Suggs, PhD was available at a moment’s notice to answer questions and provide feedback on project concepts and ideas. I especially enjoyed learning about package design and the thought process of consumers. The final project was a challenging, creative process that allowed me to use each week’s teaching in a practical, real-world application.
I found the Packaging Sales Bootcamp to be fun and engaging. Emily Yepes kept me on my toes with fast paced learning packed full of relevant information in every class. The content was backed by real world examples and statistics and would be useful to anyone whether you are just starting out in the industry or have been in it your entire career. There is always something new to learn and this course is filled with content. I found it to be well worth my time and would recommend it to anyone willing to improve.
