MSU's school of packaging awarded new instruments

A digital burst tester, universal material crush tester, and an internal bond tester were awarded to Michigan State University’s (MSU) School of Packaging from the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (www.careersincorrugated.org).

The award is part of ICPF’s nationwide initiative to advance corrugated curriculums, and to attract increasingly qualified students to the corrugated industry. The award is part of the 2006-2007 National Curriculum Expansion & Asset Placement Awards in which ICPF invited 97 colleges, universities, and technical schools nationwide to submit proposals to ICPF to help expand and improve their labs and classrooms.
