AIP MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION 1

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) was founded in 1963 in response to a need for packaging technologists to interact and provide a professional identity for individuals within the industry.

The Australian Institute of Packaging is the professional body for packaging technologists and other individuals involved within the packaging industry throughout Australasia.

The primary function of the Institute is to offer education, training, and personal and professional development for individuals within the packaging industry; as well as cross-functional networking opportunities. The AIP is the only association in Australia designed to recognise, educate and assist the individuals who make up the diverse packaging industry.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITSThe Institute organises National Conferences, Training Courses and Technical Seminars with strong support from the Packaging Industry. Each Branch runs its own program of meetings, site visits, technical functions, seminars and social events throughout the year. These meetings provide excellent opportunities for networking as well as for informed discussion on current topics of interest to packaging technologists and professionals, and the industry as a whole.

Guests are welcome at most functions, but the full benefits of the AIP are best achieved through membership. AIP Members are eligible for concessional cost savings for all meetings and functions, first preference to attend site visits and will also receive complimentary packaging trade magazines. These are just a few of the benefits of AIP Membership.

WHO CAN BE A MEMBER OF THE AIP?Membership to the Australian Institute of Packaging is open to any persons interested in packaging and the industry in general. Membership levels are graded by a committee of Fellows and peers in industry.

Membership is personal and can be invaluable when seeking employment or promotion, as the qualification standards are a clear indication of the level of academic achievement and packaging industry experience. The post nominals as indicated below can be used by all Members on their business cards, resumes and portfolios.

Associate (AAIP): Those people generally with less than five years experience within the packaging industry, or people in a role where packaging technology is not a core employment activity.

Member (MAIP): Those people with at least five years experience in a position involving various aspects of packaging technology, also possibly complemented with some form of relevant academic qualification.

Fellow (FAIP): Those people that have made significant contributions to the packaging industry over many years and have considerable knowledge of various aspects of packaging technology. Once again, also complemented with some form of relevant academic qualification.

Certified Packaging Professional (CPP): Attaining the CPP® designation is an excellent investment in your professional development and the credential defines the packaging professional and allows organisations to seek out and hire the right professional based on verified knowledge, skills and industry contributions. Using the CPP® program to assess and evaluate one’s professional competency validates you as internationally proficient as a packaging professional; a cut above your peers.

NB: Membership is graded by a qualified and experienced team of packaging technologists and is assessed on expertise within the field.
