Drew Krammer Earns Top Honors at Packaging Design Competition

2012 Sep 14

Drew Krammer, of Ephrata, Pa., a senior at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, recently competed in the 2012 Annual Association of Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC) Student Packaging Design Competition. Developed to honor the best student designs entered in three distinct categories, this competition allows AICC members a glimpse of what's in store for the future of the packaging industry.

The theme of this year's competition was entitled "Design to an Opportunity – Structural Challenge." Students had to design a structure that accomplishes a given task while accounting for converting challenges. Millersville University entered two teams into the competition. Krammer, of the team "Pirates Plunder – Dual Purpose Display", placed second in structural and third place in graphics.

All of the winners in each category received a plaque and monetary award. The first place winners also received an all-expense paid trip to the AICC 2012 SuperCorrExpo Conference being held October 1-4, 2012 in Atlanta, Ga. The winning entries will be on display at the conference.
