24th IAPRI World Packaging Conference

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.

IAPRI was established in 1971 with seven members as an international membership association to promote packaging research and education. IAPRI is a unique global network which allows organizations to communicate and develop ideas, exchange experiences and in many cases reduce duplication of effort.

It was headquartered in the United Kingdom as an unincorporated association until in 2017 the offices were moved to the United States and IAPRI was incorporated as a non-profit association
