The North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Center for Advanced Processing and Packaging Studies Records contain annual reports, fliers and brochures, "Communiqué" newsletters, and conference materials. All pertain to the creation or projects of the Center. Materials range in date from 1986 to 2002.
The Center for Advanced Processing and Packaging Studies was founded by Dr. Ken Swartzel, Professor of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Science, as the Center for Aseptic Processing and Packaging Studies in 1987. CAPPS is an Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) initiated by the National Science Foundation. These centers provide much-needed research to corporate partners as well as hands-on, relevant experience and training for students and faculty. As members, the corporate partners also help to fund the Center, as they benefit from the research. The Center investigates emerging technologies in food processing and preservation, as guided by the participating industries. The name was changed to the Center for Advanced Processing and Packaging in 1998.

The Center was founded to investigate methods for processing and packaging foods using techniques to maintain their sterility and purity. NC State was a logical choice for the center, with its strong background in aseptic processing in the Food Science Department. The original academic partners were NC State and Virginia Tech. In 1998, the mission was broadened to focus on emerging and novel processes in food technology. With the expanded mission, the name was changed from the Center for Aseptic Processing and Packaging Studies to the Center for Advanced Processing and Packaging Studies. CAPPS is now based at The Ohio State University, with NC State and University of California-Davis as consortial members.
