Students and faculty at the Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design are certifying packages for use in the Amazon distribution network. The certification ensures that products will survive the harshness of physical distribution. "Due to COVID we saw a huge increase in people that want that certification," said graduate student Mary Paz Alvarez Valverde, noting that manufacturers that once relied on brick and mortar had to switch over to e-commerce since the pandemic.
