NWPCA’s Partnership With PDS Propels Training into The Future
The National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA) has partnered with AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, to connect with the Pallet Design System™ (PDS) training.
What is AICC?
AICC is a packaging education program that offers Packaging Schools an online learning management system.
The Partnership of PDS & AICC
The president & CEO of the NWPCA states that they are excited about the partnership and want to offer their members a world-class online training system from the AICC.
Their recent release of the Pallet Design System (PDS) for unit-loading corrugated boxes makes the partnership an excellent fit with AICC.
The Independent Packaging Association, AICC’s existing program, provides extensive training for corrugated, rigid box folding carton and plant industries. The Packaging School will include the Pallet Design System (PDS) curriculum on unit loading in AICC’s courses.
The Pallet Desing System provides excellent opportunities for manufacturers and packaging professionals alike, stated Kristen DeLack, PE PDS Structural Engineer.
The AICC courses will give members an excellent foundation for their custom pallets and unit load designs.
The NWPCA and the AICC developed a portal for members to access the complete course bundle that focuses on pallet design and corrugated boxes. The initial catalog of the courses is in Spanish and English and covers corrugated boxes and unit load design.
As all global leaders, we believe in expanding opportunities for digital inclusion and greatly expand PDS as the worldwide tool for designing pallets and for unit loading solutions.
