IOP: The Packaging Society

The Packaging Society has been serving the members of the Packaging Industry for the past 60 years. The Packaging Society, a division of IOM3, seeks to serve its membership through training, education and interaction with other members of the industry, providing support and a community environment in which to share experiences and knowledge.

Packaging training

The Institute offers a range of industry-recognised packaging courses and qualifications, as a result of the merger in 2005 of the former Institute of Packaging (IoP) with IOM3. These include PIABC accredited qualifications as well as training for specific sectors of the packaging industry.
