Take the Next Step to Introduce Your Students to a Career in Corrugated
The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) has created an accessible, hands-on activity where students in grades 6-12 and beyond can design, build, and test a phone case using only corrugated materials. Your students can also win prizes on behalf of ICPF for their creative approach to corrugated packaging! This engaging project—approved and refined by educators and career counselors—helps students explore the versatility, sustainability, and real-world problem-solving at the heart of one of the most stable industries in the manufacturing sector.
