Welcome to the official website of the Institute of Packaging (SA)

The Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of the art and science of packaging in South Africa, and to this end, representing the interests of its members in this country.

This is achieved by means of our national educational programmes, and through frequent contact with our members by way of monthly meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences and social events held in our five regions throughout South Africa.  Kindly refer to the following main menu item ABOUT US to view our detailed AIMS AND OBJECTIVES, and to the main menu items REGIONAL EVENTS / WHAT'S ON, and FURTHER INFORMATION ON EVENTS, for greater detail on our current activities.

Packaging practitioners (particularly our students) are furthermore invited to make use of the Discussion Forum in this website (see Main Menu) to discuss any packaging problems they have, or even just to voice an opinion.

Our Institute also maintains close ties with overseas organizations of a similar nature, and is a full member of the World Packaging Organization - our immediate past National Chairman is presently President of that Organization.

We are also very concerned that we are satisfying the needs of our membership - so invite you to complete the ongoing Member Opinion Survey which appears under the main menu item headed MEMBERSHIP - or click HERE.  You can also update your membership contact details on line - see also under MEMBERSHIP (OR CLICK HERE).

       We hope you find our website both interesting and informative.  Should you wish to make any suggestions for improvements, or to comment, please see contact details for our Web Manager under the menu item "Contact Us" or "Acknowledgements and Comments".
