Membership Benefits

CEFPACK membership is available to any company or organization associated with the converting or packaging industries.

Companies can choose to become Supporting Members with a minimum fee of $30,000 for a three-year membership. This fee can be paid in yearly installments and is renewable at the end of the second year. Supporting Member benefits include the following:

  • Credit for the center’s services up to the amount of the membership fee at published rates below those available to non-members (includes use of process equipment, analytical services, phone consultation, and training and short courses held on the main campus of Clemson University)
  • Additional services at published rates
  • Scheduling priority
  • University policies and practices that ensure confidentiality of propriety information and protection of intellectual property rights
  • Symposiums twice a year for members to meet students and discuss nonproprietary programs and research
  • An opportunity to sponsor directed research as a Sustaining Member at additional cost

Basic Memberships are offered to companies who contribute $5,000 or more each year in cash or though in-kind donation to CEFPACK. Basic members receive the center newsletters and are invited to participate in center symposiums. These members are not eligible for service credits.
