Careers

The corrugated box industry is a well-established, $25 billion per year industry that employs over 100,000 people in the United States. Although some might believe that this industry is static and unchanging, the reality is that it is a dynamic, exciting industry that provides opportunities for enthusiastic, hard-working individuals looking to excel.

These are the ICPF's (International Corrugated Packaging Foundation) "Five reasons why the corrugated industry is a great choice for you!"

It's huge. Corrugated packaging is a $25 billion a year industry. When you consider that over 90% of all products in North America are delivered or displayed in corrugated at some point in their life cycle, you begin to see that this is a powerhouse industry with great career opportunities.
It's everywhere. No matter where you want to live, there's a box manufacturer nearby. There are over 1,550 box plants throughout North America.
Corrugated is the single most dominant force in the packaging world. It beats out all other forms of packaging by a country mile.
Corrugated is a good guy to our environment. 76.6% of all corrugated produced is recycled. Ever wonder why stores no longer seem to have old boxes to give away? OCC - or old corrugated containers are bundled and sold back to the manufacturers to make the next generation of corrugated packages.
It's fast-paced and challenging, with lots of variety. On the manufacturing side, you may work on a package for Nike one day and Revlon the next. Corrugated packaging is the final answer for just about every type of packaging need. It's durable, versatile, lightweight, innovative and cost-effective.
