Careers in Innovation and Research & Development

GPI's Innovation and Research & Development teams are behind some of the most significant advances in sustainable packaging in the industry. KeelClip™ replaced plastic can rings. PaperSeal™ replaced high-barrier plastic trays. Boardio™ reimagined the rigid canister. ecotainer™ made commercially compostable cups a reality. These aren't incremental improvements — they're category-defining shifts.

With 3,000+ patents and a global network of innovation centers, you'll work at the intersection of materials science, structural design, consumer insight, and sustainability to develop packaging that's better for brands, better for consumers, and better for the planet. The ideas you develop here end up in grocery stores, quick-service restaurants, and homes around the world.
