Australian Institute of Packaging | Professional Association for Packaging Technologists

Professional Association for Packaging Technologists

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) was founded in 1963 in response to a need for packaging technologists to interact and provide a professional identity for individuals within the industry.

The Australian Institute of Packaging is the professional body for packaging technologists and other individuals involved within the packaging industry throughout Australasia. The primary function of the Institute is to offer educational and technical training for individuals within the packaging industry as well as cross-functional networking opportunities. The AIP is the only association in Australia designed to recognise, educate and assist the individuals who make up the diverse packaging industry.

Membership to the Australian Institute of Packaging is open to any persons interested in packaging and the industry in general. Membership levels are graded by a committee of Fellows and peers in industry. Membership is personal and can be invaluable when seeking employment or promotion, as the qualification standards are a clear indication of the level of academic achievement and packaging industry experience.

The AIP organises National Conferences, training courses and technical seminars with strong support from the packaging industry, to add value to our members and in the individual branch calendars. National events include our two largest functions which alternate each year – the National technical forums which are held at AUSPACK PLUS and the AIP National Conference. In addition, each Branch runs its own program of site visits, technical functions, seminars and social events throughout the year. These meetings provide excellent opportunities for networking, as well as for informed discussion on current topics of interest to packaging technologists and professionals, and the industry as a whole. As speakers and events vary within each State, all Members are invited to attend any function in any Branch and many attend interstate functions regularly
