IAPRI

Starting in 1960 several European packaging research institutes and one from the United States met every two years to discuss common problems in research and testing. Then in 1969 at a meeting at the Danish Packaging Institute in Copenhagen it was decided to officially form an international body. IAPRI was established in 1971 with seven members as an international membership association to promote packaging research and education. It was headquartered in the United Kingdom as an unincorporated association until in 2017 when the offices were moved to the United States and incorporated as a non-profit 501-(C) (6) association... Our mission is to foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation in the field of food packaging... The International Association of Packaging Research Institutes supports and advances packaging research and education by facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration.
