Pack Expo - Las Vegas

Students man the UF Packaging Science booth at Pack Expo. Many employers visited the booth and spoke with the students about the program.

 

The UF Packaging Science students and their advisor, Dr. Bruce Welt, prepare to head out and explore Las Vegas.

 

 

 

The PKG ladies explore the sights and dress for a night on the town!

 

 

Building Better Boxes

Thanks to a donation from the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF), UF PKG students can design and cut boxes of all shapes and sizes using a new corrugated cutting table. The Kongsberg CM1320 Table (valued at $100,000) was formally dedicated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in April. Representatives from ICPF and UF/IFAS attended the dedication.

Student projects were on display and attendees were treated to a demonstration of the table. The table will allow students to develop and refine 3-D prototypes with great precision.

Roses are red...

and white, yellow, pink and orange! The annual PKG Club Valentine's Day Rose Sale was a big success thanks to the hard work of President Laura Knoll, Stephanie Hampshire, Abby Herstich and other members of the club.

 

The ladies spent hours sorting and dressing roses purchased by faculty, staff and students across campus. The funds raised will be used toward club activities and travel.

Alley Gators!

Members of the PKG Club spent a night on the lanes as they showed off bowling skills and just enjoyed fun with their friends.
