Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) members will head to Orora's Research and Technology Centre for a site visit next week.

Located in Scoresby, Victoria, the centre includes a paper and packaging laboratory accredited by Australia's National Association of Testing Authorities.

The lab allows for the examination of paper characteristics, board properties, and box performance.

AIP will have the opportunity to tour the premises on Wednesday 6 June, and take a look at the Paper & Packaging Laboratory, Forensics Laboratory, Analytical and Pulp Evaluation Lab, and Transport Simulation area.

The Forensics Laboratory offers food-contact testing to ensure compliance with a range of standards, reverse engineering and benchmarking, and deposit analysis and trouble shooting.

Using its on-site transport simulator testing room, Orora tests packaging in diverse transportation simulations, ensuring high standards.
