Every year the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), the Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia (SCLAA), in collaboration with other industry associations, spend their Christmas Party differently.

Rather than holding the standard Christmas Party, the AIP and SCLAA Members, along with members of the public and businesses; packing 1,000x Family Hampers and 300x Ladies Hampers which are given to Foodbank to help those in need during the holiday season.

Over the last eight years, our industry has packed over 8,000 hampers to the value of nearly $900,000 for people in need and they look forward to packing even more hampers in 2019.

We do hope that you join us in 2019 and help us meet the $1 million mark in donation and 10,000 hampers packed.
