Packaging Club Opportunities


Attention Packaging Engineers!

Design Opportunities

If interested I can match you up with teammates. Some are individual assignments. Please contact me for interest (k.yerdon13@ufl.edu) . No Experience Needed. Apply and represent our school. 

Shurtape is on a Mission to educate for success. Through our Mission: Packaging Program, we will follow three students who are pursuing futures in the packaging field. Each month, they will be assigned a packaging-themed mission to complete and then report their findings via blog posts on our website. And, we will reward them for their hard work and completion of all 10 missions with $5,000 to put toward the cost of their education. Deadline: Nov 1 http://shurtape.com/missionpackaging
