The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) is the professional society for the people who design, specify, buy, and sell packaging. Its members span brand owners, converters, suppliers, and consultants across every material and market.
IoPP is best known for the Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) designation, the industry’s recognized credential for packaging expertise, along with regional chapters, the Packaging University education program, and the annual AmeriStar Package Awards.
Why it matters to buyers and suppliers
- Credentialing: the CPP is the benchmark packaging engineers and sourcing professionals put on a resume.
- Networking: local chapters host plant tours, technical sessions, and supplier showcases throughout the year.
- Education: courses and webinars on materials, sustainability, compliance, and package development.
