The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be hosting a virtual tour of UPM Raflatac for its members on 6 April.

During the tour, AIP members will be able to see and learn about UPM’s high-performing labelling materials for branding and promotion, informational labels, and labels with functionality.

Using its expertise, UPM works with brands and businesses by providing labelling solutions that support creative product packaging design, meet business goals, and reach towards sustainability targets.

“Join the UPM team on this virtual tour to view why labels matter and how UPM is your reliable partner in sustainable labelling,” said Nerida Kelton, executive director of the AIP.

“Today, UPM manufactures a vast array of label stocks, and gives insight into the importance of matching the right label with the packaging, particularly as they strive to help brands to reach towards sustainability targets like the 2025 National Packaging Targets.” 

During the tour, UPM’s team of experts from across the globe, including Leon Jin, senior business manager; Dr Carol Kilcullen-Lawrence, sustainability consultant; and Juha Virmavirta, director – Rafcycle Solutions, will guide attendees through the optimum selection of label materials by balancing sustainability with high performing materials. 

They are looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing their vision of labelling a smarter future beyond fossils.
