If you’ve ever tried to find real insight into what it’s like to be a packaging engineer, or what it takes to hire a great one, you’ve probably noticed how little information is actually out there. We’re here to change that.
This blog is for packaging people. Whether you’re managing a department, job hunting, navigating salary negotiations, or just curious what your peers are experiencing across the industry, we’re building something you’ll want to keep up with.
What to Expect from This Blog
Here’s what you’ll find in future posts:
🔵Survey Insights – Every year, we conduct an in-depth survey of packaging engineers across the U.S. We ask about salary, job satisfaction, benefits, red flags, work setup, and more. We'll break it down post by post so you get actionable takeaways—not just charts.
🔵 Event Announcements – We’ll share where you can find us, whether we’re attending PackExpo or hosting something of our own. If we’re in your area, we’d love to meet you.
🔵 Podcast Launches – Our upcoming podcast will feature stories from packaging professionals, tips from hiring experts, and a few ridiculous moments along the way (because let’s be honest, packaging never goes 100% to plan).
🔵 Job Market Trends – We're in a unique position to see what hiring managers are looking for and where the opportunities are. When we notice a shift in the market, you’ll hear about it here first.
🔵 Community Spotlights – From standout engineers to department leads with a knack for innovation, we want to highlight the people making an impact in the industry.
Why We're Doing This
