Student Testimonial
“This course is full of valuable information. Although there was a lot of information, the great variety of videos, slideshows, and text kept me engaged. The course has a clear layout which made it easy to locate the information. Sections were very short and easy to navigate which made it easy to stop and start while performing other duties at work. I would recommend this course!”

About the Instructor
Dr. Andrew Hurley
Founder and Associate Professor
Packaging and entrepreneurship came together at an early age for Dr. Andrew Hurley. As a young boy, he molded and sold pewter figurines, but inadequate shipping materials led to breakage. Frustrated, he set to researching better packaging alternatives … and he hasn’t ever stopped.
Dr. Hurley is an Associate Professor at Clemson University in the Department of Food, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences. He leads the packaging design emphasis area, where he researches how to leverage packaging to solve even the toughest supply chain challenges.
