How You Can Help

The importance of reducing product damage throughout distribution and optimizing resource usage through effective package design has never been greater. Our educational work is driving a new generation of packaging leaders who will improve our world through advancing transport packaging design, but we need additional resources to continue to have lasting reach and impact.

Thanks to our generous supporters, the ISTAEF has already raised $175,000! Donate now and help us reach our goal of $2 million for grants and scholarships to encourage and support research in transport packaging.

Thank You for Supporting the Next Wave of Packaging Leaders

Thank you to everyone who attended the ISTAEF Students to Leaders Fundraiser Dinner on April 7 in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a great evening of connections and meaningful conversation, and a pleasure to meet the research grant recipients and learn more about their work. We are especially grateful to our generous sponsors and to everyone who helped make this event a success.
