Packaging

Using below References: About IoPP. (n.d.). The Institute of Packaging Professionals seems to be an authority of sorts with the credentials to train and qualify course participants as Certified Packaging Professionals in addition to a number of courses aimed at professional development in the packaging industry. This particular organization is important to non-packaging professionals as it can provide training specific to the needs of the client to improve packaging techniques and procedures up to the point where a client can attain certification as an industry professional. Similar to many global industries there is an organization (or possibly more than one) which, in this case, is non-government affiliated that essentially acts as s global forum for numerous packaging organizations and groups around the world. What an organization like this offers is a central gathering point for standardization of practices, techniques and legislation. Through a common forum, numerous packaging organizations can benefit from shared experiences and promote greater interoperability through commonality. Consider the significant distances in the transportation of commodities across sea, air and land coupled with the variation in climates and conditions in transit. Additionally, once one factors in the complexities that come with commodities that are hazardous or medically sensitive then the significance of commonality, standardization and the distribution of information to both industry professionals and non-professionals is immediately obvious.
