IoPP's Certified Packaging Professional mark--is a designation that more companies want their packaging professionals to have. It signifies a level of general knowledge about packaging that provides an on-the-job edge for those whose responsibilities include having a solid grounding in packaging technology.

IoPP's "Fundamentals of Packaging Technology" course provides this essential information, in areas ranging from packaging materials and properties to design, to packaging and the environment to laws and regulations.

Successful completion of the Fundamentals course will have you well-prepared to take the certification examination-an important requirement toward earning a CPP. And, IoPP has classes coming up this summer and fall to fit your schedule.
