Latest edition of IoPP's Professional Perspective focused on package design The latest edition of IoPP's Professional Perspective - published in the November issue of Packaging World and written by Michael Lovelace, Material Reliability Technician, Perry's Ice Cream - addresses how design impacts the whole packaging process. Says Lovelace, "Though a new package may look appealing on the surface, a prudent professional will walk the package through the entire process, from raw material receiving to the customer, to ensure all obstacles are identified along with solutions to overcome them."
