In 1975, IPPO (the International Packaging Press Organisation) was founded. What began as a small group of professional packaging journalists has become an association of around 75 professional and – more importantly – independent packaging journalists from all continents.What we share is a passion for packaging.

After all these years, IPPO remains a friendly association, with the aim of sharing knowledge, organising missions and seminars, with the final goal of improving our packaging knowledge and sharing that knowledge with our readers. After all, we are a source of independent information

for readers inside and outside the industry, serving packaging manufacturers as well as their customers, the brand owners. Indeed, we serve the entire packaged goods supply chain.

Another important initial goal that’s still at the forefront of IPPO’s aims is to build a good rapport with the packaging industry and their public relations professionals – the source of our information. Over the years, IPPO members have built valuable relationships with exhibition organisers and with producers of packaging materials and machinery.

We want to continue in the same friendly spirit that marked IPPO’s very beginning, back in 1975. But more than that, IPPO members want to be acknowledged as reliable and independent sources of information for the packaging industry.

This website is a gate to the international packaging press.

Feel free to use this website to inform us of packaging developments and to widen further the global communication of packaging progress!
