Companies worldwide currently conduct predictive pre-shipment testing to insure that product damage doesnot occur during distribution. ISTA, a non-profit member driven association is the leading developer of these teststandards that define how packages should perform to ensure protection of their contents during the everchanging risks of domestic and global distribution.
Currently some emerging markets, increasing global distribution and changes in domestic supply chain channelssuch as e-commerce and direct to customer shipments, are areas where the data related to the levels and typeof hazards are not available, or need to be updated to insure the appropriate performance thresholdrequirements. However, incorporating the correct test threshold levels for various supply chain channels is a keyfactor. If those levels are too low, damage can occur. If the levels are too high or too severe, then packaging is

Determining static loading and cushion curves are essentialfor any cushion design, but are generally only the beginningof a good design, not the end. A cushion design’s geometryalso plays a vital role in the performance of a cushion. Thispaper visually analyzes the effects that a cushion’sgeometry has on performance using high speed video.
Introduction – The Global EconomyThe term, “The world is shrinking,” is frequently used todescribe how the global economy has changed over thepast decade. This is an illustration of the fact that moreproducts are ordered, made, and distributed globally thanever before. Internet stores are replacing brick and mortarstorefronts, and increasingly savvy customers demanding
the ‘worlds best’ as opposed to what is available locally. This coupled with thefact that companies have been consolidating manufacturing operations,versus setting up multiple manufacturing sites close to their customer base,has driven the creation of large global supply models.

duties include the development of an academic curriculum, teaching Packaging Design for Global Distribution (SBIO 4042), PackagingDistribution Systems (SBIO 3224), Pallet, Container, and Unit Load Design (SBIO 4224), Computer-Aided Design in Packaging (SBIO2984), and Sustainable Packaging Design and Innovation I and II (SBIO2984). He serves as the Chair of the Enrollment ManagementCommittee and the co-advisor of the Institute of Packaging Professionals at Virginia Tech student club.
Laszlo has received several awards, distinctions and fellowships including: Certificate of Leadership Excellence – Virginia Tech (2014);George Mara – Excellence in Writing and Research Award (2013); North Carolina State University Provost Fellowship (2007); OutstandingGraduate Student Award, Faculty of Wood Science, University of West Hungary (2007); Hungarian National Academic Scholarship Award,(2007); National Scientific Student Research Competition, 3rd Place (2007); ERASMUS scholarship; Study Abroad Program (2006);Hungarian National Academic Scholarship Award, (2006); National Scientific Student Research Competition, Special Award (2005);Scientific Student Research Competition, 1st Place (2005); and Scientific Student Research Competition, Special Award (2004).
Aside from packaging, travel remains Laszlo’s main hobby. He enjoys exploring new places and meeting new people. He has traveleda lot but his bucket list of additional places to visit remains full!
In his spare time, Laszlo enjoys reading. He consistently has a pile of books ready to read, yet he continues to purchase new ones to addto the pile and never has time to read them all.
He feels so obsessed with packaging that he keeps analyzing all the “cool” new packages while grocery shopping, which drives his wifecrazy and significantly slows down their shopping!
Dr. Siripong Malasri, Christian Brothers UniversityDr. Siripong Malasri, often known as Pong, currently serves as Dean of Engineering at Christian Brothers University (CBU)in Memphis, Tennessee. He also serves as Director of CBU’s Healthcare Packaging Consortium. He earned his PhD inCivil Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1982. In the past, he was a registered professional engineer in the Stateof Florida and is currently registered in the State of Tennessee.
Pong was instrumental in establishing the packaging program at CBU. In 2001, while he was Dean of Engineering, apackaging class taught by a Packaging Engineer at FedEx was offered as an engineering elective. Between 2003 and
2005, over $500K worth of packaging lab equipment was acquired under a $3M grant from the Assisi Foundation of Memphis and inOctober 2009, the packaging lab became an ISTA Certified Testing Laboratory.
On June 1, 2005, Pong stepped down as Dean of Engineering to have more time to work on packaging. During this time, a B.S. and M.S.in Engineering Management with a Packaging Concentration were established. In 2012, packaging was established as a departmentwithin the School of Engineering at CBU. In June 2014, Pong was reappointed as Dean of Engineering.
In June 2010, the university formed the Healthcare Packaging Consortium and under Pong’s leadership, the consortium currently haseleven active member companies: FedEx, Medtronic, Bayer Consumer Care, MicroPort Orthopedics, Olympus Surgical TechnologiesAmerica, Plastic Ingenuity, Smith & Nephew, The Pallet Factory, The Royal Group, Wright Medical, and WS Packaging. Pong has workedon various consortium research projects related to plastic tote distribution, wooden pallet properties, and sustainability. In October 2013,the consortium and Cloud Publications (India) designated the International Journal of Advanced Packaging Technology as the consortium’sofficial journal, where he serves as its Editor-in-Chief.
Pong formed a TAPPI student chapter at CBU in 2012 and has served as its faculty advisor. He has promoted the ISTA CPLP programamong CBU packaging students. To date, five CBU packaging students have passed the CPLP Technician Examination. At CBU, heteaches PKG 101 Introduction to Packaging, PKG 201 Packaging Seminars, PKG 490 Packaging Project, and PKG 495 PackagingInternship. He plans to offer new courses in the near future; PKG 202 Packaging Lab, PKG 410 Packaging Sustainability, and ENGM 644Transport Packaging.
Pong has received several awards and recognitions including: Induction to the Pi Alpha Kappa Honorary Society by the Mid-South Chapterof Institute of Packaging Professionals in 2009; Award of Excellence from the Memphis-Joint Engineers Council in 2006; OutstandingEngineer of the Year Award from the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers in 2004; and Distinguished Lasallian Educator Awardfrom CBU in 1997.
In his spare time, Pong keeps his body fit by walking and swimming. When he had more time before his packaging research, he used toenjoy playing classical guitar. For now he enjoys listening to classical music and of course appreciates Memphis BBQ!

Congratulations to all of thenew individualswhohaveachievedCPLPstatus!The CPLP program recognizes the development and excellence in packaging laboratory professionals. CPLP certification is particularlyvaluable for enhancing the credibility of people involved with ISTA testing and ISTA certified laboratory operations. Most self-studyapplicants are finding that the on-line lesson materials and exam offer a convenient and economical alternative to the paper versions. Thepaper format is still available for those who prefer it. A complete listing of all CPLP Recipients is posted on the ISTA website.
The next CPLP in-person workshop will be held at theTransPack Forum on April 17th with exams being held onApril 18th. Visit www.ista.org for more details. Pleasecontact Lisa Bonsignore if you have any questions!
