OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE

Every product manufactured in the industry from food and pharmaceutical products to engineering, health care and cosmetics products require packaging to protect and sell the product. Almost every firm that makes a physical product has a packaging department with significant individuals engaged specifically in packaging technology and applied engineering and thus Packaging graduates are in huge demand. Packaging sector creates a situation where it provides 100 % placement rate.

The number of potential jobs for graduates and careers available with a background in packaging is driven by not only the uniqueness of the skills learned by the students but also by the fact that there are very few places to learn the skills necessary to design and develop package systems.

Packaging is an inter-disciplinary subject like Engineering, Printing, Designing, Management, Branding & Advertising, and Material Science.

To fulfill this ever increasing demand of packaging graduate, Indian Institute of Packaging, is offering various courses in the field of Packaging Technology.
