About IAPRI

IAPRI, was established in 1971 as an international membership association to promote packaging as a global science to important target groups within international organizations and research foundations. It is a unique global network which allows organisations to communicate and develop ideas, exchange experiences and in many cases reduce duplication of effort.

This helps create efficiency and effectiveness in their packaging research activities.
