In February 2023, I lead my team of four students as we entered the Institute of Packaging Professional’s national competition
The 48 Hour REPack.

Our team was given 48 hours, and a prompt from Westrock, the third largest cardboard box producer in the world, to create a fiber based, sustainable, e-commerce packaging solution for small fragile objects with no primary packaging.

Using only old cardboard boxes, X-acto knives, my Canon printer and some spray glue, we created our project: Rollpac.

We were invited with the other top 3 groups to present our project at the Coca-Cola Headquarters here in Atlanta, and we were delighted to win the 2nd Place Award.

We said, who needs a box? Let’s take this on a roll!
