PAC Student Chapter

Student Committee Mandate

To provide opportunities for constructive engagement between students and the packaging industry.

Student Committee Objectives

  • Encourage students from a diverse range of educational fields to choose packaging as a career path;
  • Connect students to learning and career opportunities through exposure to and collaboration with industry practitioners; and,
  • Foster deeper engagement with the next generation of PAC members – better positioning the association to anticipate and adapt to evolving member needs.

Student Packaging Competition

The Packaging Association has a long tradition of supporting Packaging Students and their Schools by organizing competitions in partnership with industry representatives.

This year, PAC is pleased to invite your students to participate in the 2010 PAC Student Sustainable Packaging Design Competition. This is a “must participate, high profile” project with two powerful corporate hosts this year, Walmart Canada and SC Johnson.

The final judging and Awards presentation will be held in conjunction with the Walmart Sustainable Packaging Conference on April 22, 2010. Winning students and their respective learning institutions will be recognized on stage with financial rewards, at this event.

Don’t leave your students out of this prestigious competition.
Please see Student Chapter Events Calendar below for more details.


"The PAC Educational Programs within the School of Communications Arts at Seneca@York has generated a level of excitement I have not seen since I became involved with our packaging course. The students are eager to become members and realize through the PAC educational program our packaging industry is a frontier they will now consider even over print.

The PAC programs offer to our students a broad spectrum of membership and educational benefits from participating in a national student competition to the PAC Fair /conference where the students will mingle with prospective employers. In addition PAC is going full throttle with the sustainability issues and continually offers a host of seminars that engage our students.

All in all I am truly happy that Seneca became members and I am proud to sit on the PAC Student Committee."
