In 2006 John Henry was asked by the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IOPP) to develop an introductory course on packaging machinery. He has been presenting The Packaging Machinery Basics Seminar twice a year ever since. 

This 2-1/2 day seminar is presented at Frain Industries in Carol Stream IL, convenient to Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Frain's 1.6 million square feet of packaging machine inventory along with their active shop give attendees plenty of opportunity to see a variety of machinery up close and personal.
