Eastman is working with disposable medical device maker Remington Medical Inc. of Alpharetta, Ga., and medical thermoformer Tek Pak Inc. of Batavia, Ill., as co-sponsors in support of an academic program in the packaging sciences department at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C.
Students in the Package Design and Development program at Clemson University in South Carolina learn to think inside the box. Specifically, a select group of seniors recently did a deep dive into the materials, processes and regulatory parameters that are part and parcel of designing and manufacturing medical packaging. And they applied those skills with expert guidance from Eastman Chemical (Kingsport, TN) and partner companies Remington Medical, a supplier of disposable medical devices, and thermoformer Tek Pak
