Publisher's Synopsis
There are hundreds of organizations around the world involved in packaging, and this big directory provides detailed information on each of them -- more than 1,000 in total. The first two sections, associations and research organizations, and market and statistical information sources are each first grouped in alphabetical order by country, Argentina through USA, and then in alphabetical order by organization name. Detailed information is provided on each organization: full name and address, translation of organization name into English if needed, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses, and a description of the organization's objectives and activities. The Exhibition section, also organized by countries, lists trade shows and technical conferences related to packaging, location, dates, and organizer name, address and electronic contacts. The section on Training lists sources of packaging education in each country with full contact information. The section on published sources lists all kinds of publications on packaging and their sources, as well as websites. Detailed indexes facilitate quick look-up. This is a unique resource for worldwide contacts and information. It is handsomely designed and carefully organized for ease of utility. The current fourth edition has been completely updated.
