Since 1972, IoPP has awarded qualified applicants the designation “Certified Packaging Professional (CPP).”  To date, 1,500+ packaging professionals have attained CPP status. And with good reason. The most recent IoPP salary survey revealed that CPPs earn between 7% and 10% more than their non-certified co-workers! Candidates achieve the Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) designation by demonstrating significant industry expertise and experience, measured through a flexible applicant testing process.

 

 

Scheduled regularly throughout the year, our web-based seminars feature industry experts offering insights on up-to-the-minute packaging topics.
