           • A Brief History of the Association

 
The development of the format of Thai industrial products is the basic policy of the Department of Industrial Promotion of the Ministry of Industry.  This policy has been given primary importance since the setting up of the Department of Industrial Promotion.  In line with this policy, the Center for Designing of industrial products was set up in 1964.  Though packaging is part of the Center’s work, the center gives as much interest to as the form of the products themselves.  This marks the beginning of the government’s effort in selecting personnel who received technological training in this field to join the design team of the Center.  Seminars and exhibitions as well as dissemination of technical information for Thai Industry circle were organized.

With the support from the Department of Industrial Promotion and the cooperation from businessmen and Thai industrialists, together they jointly established the “Thai Association of Packagers and in English it is called “Thai Packaging Association” (TPA).  The Thai Packaging Association received its license from by the Ministry of Commerce on 26 December 1969 and from1977 the Association has changed its Thai name to become what is called at present.  In 1978, the Association became member of the Asian Packaging Federation.
