Esko Donates Packaging Technology to RIT

Using the Esko tools, RIT students are participating in a number of national competitions, such as those held by the Paperboard Packaging Association and the Independent Corrugated Association.

Packaging Science students are also using Esko technology to find solutions to real world problems. For example, after the college announced that it will no longer be supplying bottled water on campus, packaging students began designing a flexible container to fill with water at filling stations. They are designing the container as well as the logo and graphics using Esko software. "The students are working with a company that will produce their design for whatever they come up with and are investigating whether or not to sell it in the campus store," explained Kausch.
