Packaging engineers are often leveraged to solve complex problems for packaging departments. In addition to their own staff, companies often hire contract packaging engineers to mitigate spikes in standard workflow. Utilizing knowledge of packaging materials, components and processes, contract packaging engineers are often able to increase efficiency, improve production and in many cases save companies money.
My experience as a packaging engineer has given me the opportunity to solve challenging problems and facilitate improvements for the companies I’ve worked for. At one such company, I was able to evaluate and eradicate an efficiency problem that was causing a company a significant loss in production.
