AICC Announces Opportunities for Packaging Designers

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, is offering two exceptional opportunities specifically for designers during the AICC 2019 Annual Meeting, September 16-18, at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Practical Innovation in Package Design training forum and the Independent Package Design Competition, whose entries will be on display and winners will be announced at the meeting.

Practical Innovation in Package Design

Practical Innovation in Package Design, a one-day training, will begin with Mike Schaefer, President, Taverns Packaging & Display, who began as a designer, sharing the CEO perspective of how designers bring value to the company. Later, Brent Lindberg, Founder of Fuseneo, an innovative package design firm, and Graham Hough of PCH Innovation Hub will help attendees design for innovation.

Industry experts will challenge attendees to consider new designs, incorporate sustainability, and plan for designs that customers are expecting in e-commerce, retail packaging, and more. Attendees will learn how to design for waste reduction and the machines available while balancing innovation and practicality in structural and graphic design.
