IoPP Packaging Machinery: Basics course taking place in October Often, professionals who are responsible for package development have little formal training in packaging machinery. Packaging Machinery: Basics, taking place October 10-12, 2011 at Frain Industries in Franklin Park, IL, is for working professionals who need to know more about machinery and how it integrates into the package development process. In 2-1/2 days, you'll gain knowledge on a spectrum of machinery from learning how to create more effective packages by understanding how they run on line equipment to gaining “hands on” instruction that lets you see concepts in operation on actual machines. Taught by 20-plus-year veteran of packaging John Henry CPP, this course sells out fast so register now. For course details and registration, click here |
