 One of IPPOs oldest members is Marian Feldman from Poland. Marian was 17 when WW II started. Thanks to his ingenuity and many good-willed people plus a bit of luck, he was able to survive difficult times. In the book he remembers his school friends and family members. Some he was able to trace and others he lost track off. It´s a fascinating story that could be highly recommended.
The book can be bought either as an e-book or printed by following the link.

 It is with deep regret that the IPPO board records the death on August 27, 2006, of one of its valued members, Roberto Hiraishi, founder and editor of Embanews in Brazil.With almost 50 years’ experience in the publishing field, Roberto Hiraishi has dedicated his life to the packaging market. He has been an IPPO member since 1994.
Sixteen years ago, Roberto was the founding editor of Embanews magazine and Embalagem & Cia, both specialised publications for the packaging sector. He has played an important role in the Brazilian packaging market; and his entrepreneurial spirit has sparked many successful initiatives such as the creation of the Brazilian Packaging Awards, one of the main awards dedicated to packaging innovation, technology and quality in Brazil’s packaging sector.

WPO adds bronze and silver to WorldStar President’s Award Better packaging for more people The World Packaging Organisation (WPO) came together in Poznan (Poland) at the end of November for its annual WorldStar judging. The new President, Keith Pearson, took the opportunity to present his plans. His main goal is: ‘Better Quality Of Life Through Better Packaging For More People’
While the international packaging industry gathered together in Paris at the Emballage trade fair at the end of November, the World Packaging Organisation had a meeting in Poland for the judging of the WorldStars. If WPO President Keith Pearson has his way, such unfortunate planning will not happen again, since he wants to raise WPO’s profile by, among other things, attending as many trade fairs as possible. Emballage, second in the world in terms of visitor numbers, is therefore an important platform for WPO. The WPO meeting in Poznan was about the judging of the WorldStars. Each year, WPO member nations can send in their national packaging prize winners to compete for this packaging prize. Pearson, who has been the new WPO President since April 2006, used this meeting to unveil his plans. ‘I want more structure within WPO and I want to put the organisation more clearly and more emphatically on the map,’ Pearson told his audience. ‘And doing so is possible, because we have good products to offer. In the past years we have not done enough, however, in terms of public relations. We must further reinforce the WPO brand in order to secure more international recognition and achieve more for our members.’

WPO Awards - The ulimate Experience |

For anyone who appreciates packaging, and especially packaging with extra finesse, it is of course the ultimate experience to be able to evaluate packaging solutions from all over the world during one day. At the same time, selecting a WorldStar winner is a task that rather quickly drains a judge’s brain. In nine hours, 294 packs were judged, and 149 of them were awarded WorldStars.
The annual WorldStar competition is organised by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), an association of business organisations and packaging institutes in 40 or so member nations.
Winners in national packaging competitions enter the contest for WorldStar recognition; and this year 29 countries submitted entries. Two were especially satisfying, those from the two new members, Ghana and Zimbabwe. Herein is both the charm of the competition and also an inherent problem. Entries come from countries with such radically different circumstances that they’re impossible to compare. Each entry, therefore, has to be judged individually according to the specific conditions under which the contestant has been working.
