we have taken the Initiative, to celebrate the event as “WORLD PACKAGING DAY” with a “PACK –WALK” at the Necklace Road, which starts at 9 Am on 24th March, 2012, from the People’s Plaza to the Large Circle of NTR Marg and back to the People’s Plaza, in Association with Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FAPCCI). 


Packaging association like AP Plastic Manufacture Association and Corrugated Manufacture Association have also extended the support for PACK WALK on the Occasion of World Packaging Day.

We have invited Hon’ble Sri Mohammad Majid Hussain, Mayor of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad as Chief Guest for the Occasion.
Happy to inform that the country has got the “BEST” Institute in the field of packaging with large infrastructural facilities for the dissemination of knowledge and information in packaging. And thus, today, the country has become the “GLOBAL HUB” for the supply of all types of packaging materials and as well as packaging education through Indian Institute of Packaging.

    Dear Friends,
     
    In our economy today, Packaging plays a very important role. In the era of retail world, packaging is not only protects the product but also it plays a vital role in terms on attraction, communication and brand promotion. The role of packaging in the modern marketing scenario is well established as it plays a great role for the value addition, cost reduction and also to enhance the shelf life of any commodity goods. 
    We use lots of packaging materials since morning to evening. The disposal of these packaging materials is also to be looked upon to save our environment. We have learnt the concept of packaging from our “Mother Nature”, so we have our primary responsibility to save our Nature also. We must follow the 4R's hierarchy in designing a packaging i.e. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. 
     
    Today packaging is a necessity.      
     
    Indian institute of Packaging alumni Association has taken the lead role to celebrate the proposed “World Packaging Day” on24th March. We will request you all to come forward and join hand with us to observe the “World Packaging Day” on 24th March.
     
     In Kolkata, all our friends are requested to assemble in IIP-Kolkata Campus, Salt-Lake City at 4 pm for the celebration of “World Packaging Day” on 24th March 2012 (Saturday).
     
    Thanking you,

    Dear Shubhabrata, Karna,
     
    Very Positive initiative, particularly on the Part where while we have learnt from Mother Nature about Packaging, in the same note packaging is playing an equal role in generating waste without proper disposable or recycling mechanism.
     
    Couple of thought starters :
     
    1)      We need to have a Logo of World Packaging Day, Which also needs to roll out Globally with IIP as a Umbrella Platform.
    2)      While this year we may do within our close group at IIP, next year onwards it needs to be rolled out Globally, where people can celebrate in their work places as well.
    3)      The activity needs to be a balance of Fun and Education about Packaging.
     
    Packaging Today is not only about Innovation, but moving into Sustainability & Recyclability with special mention of Reducing the Footprint of Packaging at retail.
     
    Lets Enjoy & Have a nice weekend.
     
    Kind Regards,
    Sriman Banerjee.

    The world has witnessed amazing technologies over the years in every field. May be its Steve job’s apple wonders! Revolutionary developments 4G technologies in the case of communication, Google’s mind boggling discoveries, super fast trains, nano chips and so on! So everyone has started appreciating these developments and enjoying the fruits of these results.
    Yet, there has been a silent technology which is hidden and cannot be disintegrated from our daily life so much, that we even forget about its occurrence. That’s Packaging!!
    Yes, Packaging, the silent Sales Man, the 5th P of marketing, which extends life of products. Packaging does not have a death; it keeps on integrating with any product as long as the universe exists.
    Imagine, what would have happened to world if those billions of gallons of milk could not be preserved with the help of packaging innovations. Imagine billions of tons of fruits and vegetables that could go waste without the invention of unbelievable processing and preserving inventions that include packaging innovations as well.
    Also the message that Packaging technology today is just not about Innovative concepts, but working towards increased use of life cycle inventory ( LCI) and life cycle assessment(LCA) thereby reducing the environmental impact and ecological foot print.

  • Despite all this, many people still feel a little shy to claim that they chose Packaging as a profession like any other engineer or a doctor or an IT professional. Today, a packaging technocrat should feel proud that he is part of a big team, that’s saving the Nation! Yes, growth of packaging is now a days, being considered as Economic growth indicator of any country. It is imperative to create more awareness about PACKAGING in the society and encourage Youth to take up Packaging as profession. In countries like 
    India, this is more vital than any other place on the globe, with the retail boom at its peak!
     Indian Institute of Packaging, 
    Hyderabad centre was inaugurated on 24th March, 2006. Ever since, the anniversary is being celebrated as Packaging Day with great enthusiasm and now with the initiation of IIP Alumni President, Mr.B.K.Karna it’s decided that this day should be celebrated as World Packaging Day. Scores of packaging professionals, current students and various packaging industrialists pledged their support towards this cause apart from http://www.PackagingConnections.com PackagingConnections' offered full support by way of communicating to their 76,000+ packaging fraternity across the globe. This was great as it is in perfectly line with their knowledge sharing philosophy.

    Incidentally Founder Sandeep Goyal of http://www.PakagingConnections.com is also from the first batch of Indian Institue of Packaging. Sandeep informed me that http://www.PackagingConnections.com also released their first Good Morning Packaging Newsletter on 24th March 2006, what a coincidence!
    For the first ever time in the history, Pack Walk (March for Packaging ) was performed by around 500 packaging students and professionals, industrialists on 24th March, 2012. The flag off for the March was done by Mr.K.V.KrishnaReddy, the cabinet Minister of the State. Host of associations like Plastics, corrugated boxes, machinery manufacturers supported this event. Mr.V.S.Raju, the president of FAPCII ( Federation of AP Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Mr.Chakravarthi AVPS, Chairman of Indian Institute of Pacakging, Hyderabad, Mr.N.C.Saha, IIP alumni Chairman and host other dignitaries took part in this Pack Walk. This event became a grand success, in a sense it evoked great response from general public, and succeeded in creating awareness on Packaging. 
    On the same day evening, the anniversary was celebrated with a cake cutting ceremony, A summit of Users and Vendors of Packaging meet was organised on this occasion. This event was successful as well with more than 250 delegates’ active participation with their enthusiastic interaction with each other!

  • Any idea on World Packaging Day ???

  • With the aggressive Internet Search options, it appears that there is no World Packaging Day being observed by any one of the Organization / Institutions / Association till this date . 

    Being the President of IIP Alumni of Packaging Professionals in India, we are committed to observe one day as dedicated day for Packaging Professionals which would be known as World Packaging Day under the Global acceptance by the International Packaging Community 

    Our Proposal is to find a suitable day unanimously to observe as WORLD PACKAGING DAY

    Feeling happy to inform that Since 2006, the "Packaging Day" is being observed and celeberated by our students of IIP-Hyderabad and Packaging Industries on March 24, every year.Show less

  • Andrew Manly Oh dear! I think this is a completely misconceived idea l'm afraid. It could be a focus of a protest rather than celebration. And WPO aren't very good at organising anything. Too many vested interests and too many different products for a single Day. Remember, initially aerosols brought us CFCs too! Professionals stick to making good and better packaging and packaging machines and do not waste their time on such flammery.

  • Prof. B K Karna Dear Andrew Manly,

    Thanks for suggestions !!! 
    But I can not accept any of your views. 

    I know, I am not wasting my time. I am working and also I appeal all to work on this to reach on collective views under unanimous acceptance.

  • Stuart Hoggard @Karma: I think you completely miss Andrew Manly's points:

    Venkat suggested:- Nov 23, when the 1st aerosol can was invented by Erik Rotheim, Norway in 1926.
    Andrew's point, if I'm not wrong, was that aerosols brought us CFC - the greenhouse gas which is now banned worldwide.... so are you proposing a World Packaging Day that celebrates packaging's role in global warming and the destruction of the planet? 

    Are you mad? It would be a PR disaster that would set back the industry in the eyes of the public by decades.

    Look, you're not getting support for the idea either here or in the WPO group.... as Andrew said, most real packaging professionals are too busy "making good and better packaging and packaging machines and do not waste their time on such flammery."Show les

  • Prof. B K Karna Dear Stuart Hoggard,

    I have noted your views seriously and would like to express that you should don't deviate the point what it has not been referred on subject what it has been requested. 

    I am not mad but your deviated thoughts are mad. 

    Packaging is not only linked with Aerosol and CFC, we say always that Packaging has many faces and should be environment friendly.

    What Venkat had proposed, was about the day where 1st Packaging material was invented? It was his proposal with the Aerosol. There could be so many proposals. So, I have appealed to all for the views.

    I am not interested at all to know that the celebration of World Packaging Day will be concerned to flammery Subject.

    WORL PACKAGING DAY WILL BE THE DEDICATED FOR PACKAGING PROFESSIONALS.

    You should understand that the So many LINKEDIN groups such PACKAGING CLUB, PACKAGING CONNECTIONS are supporting. WPO has also taken the matter into consideration.

  • Gordon Millar BK. (Good Karma?) I have no problems with celebrating a World Packaging Day as such for a bit of fun but I do recognise the potential for it to be hijacked and turned into very negative publicity. There are many pros and cons. It could easily be argued and proven that for example, plastic wrapping of fruits and vegetables is beneficial as it increases shelf life. The points about aerosol CFCs are very valid in the West. No doubt many people have read the often misinformed views about plastics and the energy issues relating to glass production etc etc. All of these points are raised on a daily basis in Western newspapers, publications, TV documentaries and quite regularly in Parliaments as being major - almost heinous crimes which we should all feel guilty about. The industry's counter lobby is relatively weak versus the highly emotive and increasingly powerful"Green Lobby" which you have yet to experience in your country.

  • Perhaps what is not fully understood is that in the West, we are penalised to the hilt over CO2 emissions and waste - most especially in Europe.
    The carbon offset arrangements do little to actually reduce emissions. The Eu Commission is all powerful. There is an active carbon trading exchange on Wall St run by - guess who and whether you realise this or not, the effect is that those companies producing in developed economies are penalised disproportionately, despite massive investments in "cleaning up their act" whilst the rapidly emerging economies such as India, China etc are effectively allowed to continue polluting on a scale which would have a European business prosecuted. This does not result in a net reduction of the "problem" - just a shift in where the problem is caused. A very famous and extraordinarily wealthy Indian gentleman is said to have become the world's first carbon billionnaire as a result of this offset nonsense which in reality, is not much more than misguided social engineering on a global scale which on face value, is supposed to benefit the environment but in reality, creates great wealth for some who know how to take advantage of the scheme.
    I admire and envy the phenomenal growth which you have experienced in your part of the world whilst we keep taxing ourselves out of business through some kind of guilt complex but even if you remove the factor of low labour costs, we are not all on a level playing field. If you had to play to Western rules and restrictions, your growth would no doubt still be mighty, but nowhere as fast as it has been. Also, please remember that with the shift of production from the West to the East, much of your target market is back here in the West so it would not be wise to overpromote to an audience of customers who are under undue pressure to be "Green" and who are aware of the geopolitical aspects, especially at a time when the global economy is highly sensitive. 
    So, my message is that whilst it's great to promote packaging, be sensitive about how you do it. You may be familliar with the expression "blowing your own trumpet". As a Scotsman, even I know that many people find the sound of bagpipes quite horrendous.Show less

All I can say is that if God is going to give us a way to overcome, I wish He would hurry up before we go bankrupt waiting. Rather than waiting for divine intervention, I should like to be able to place some faith in Governments to actually get the thinking right. Whether God or Gov - I suspect that an unwavering belief in either could be misplaced in this matter. Don't forget. Goldmann Sachs were "Doing God's work".Show less

Any idea on World Packaging Day ???

With an aggressive Internet Search options, it appears that there is no World Packaging Day being observed by any one of the Organization / Institutions / Association till this date . 

Being the President of IIP Alumni of Packaging Professionals in India, we are committed to observe one day as dedicated day for Packaging Professionals which would be known as World Packaging Day under the Global acceptance by the International Packaging Community. 


Our Proposal is to find a suitable day unanimously to observe as WORLD PACKAGING DAY...

Feeling happy to inform that Since 2006, the "Packaging Day" is being observed and celebrated by our students of IIP-Hyderabad and Packaging Industries on March 24, every year.

Result: No body was knowing......Big debate happened on Packaging Professionals Group-the largest group of Packaging Professionals. 

Finally, IIP Alumni and Packaging professionals, Committee members of IIP under highest voice of SS Raju, FAPCCI, APCBMA, APPMA, Glass, Flexible Packaging Association, decided to go ahead and respect our Packaging profession.... Minister from Govt. Of AP accepted our invitation to celebrate this as World Packaging day in place of Annual Packaging Day...
