The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is inviting all of its members and industry colleagues to attend a webinar – the Power Product Packaging with 3D Printing – on 29 July.

The webinar will be hosted by AIP Partner TCL Hofmann in partnership with Stratasys. The guest speaker will be Shiry Saar, director of customer advocacy South Asia and Australasia with Stratasys.

Attendees can learn:

  • Customised 3D Printing in Packaging
  • The latest success and case studies in 3D Printing
  • Hear about the latest 3D technologies

The AIP said: “With vivid 3D printed prototypes, consumer goods companies at the top of the market save time, meet deadlines with ease, and ultimately increase business.

“Brand managers fast-track new products and product designers ensure a positive brand experience using photorealistic prototypes, finalising the best possible look and feel with speed and confidence thanks to customised prototyping capabilities of the Stratasys innovation in packaging. The speed, realism and accuracy of 3D printed models enables companies, once at the middle of the pack, to gain a competitive edge. They now have the ability to iterate and refine designs through lifelike prototypes in hours instead of days for about one-fifth of the cost.

“For many top global brands, employing multicolour, multi-material 3D printed prototypes across the product development is the key to rapid growth. Not only does the process help create a better product, it does so in less time and for thousands of dollars less. Many in the consumer goods industry have already adopted 3D printing to save time and money. And with multi-colour, multi-material 3D printing, the potential for even more savings as well as unlimited design freedom is the key to becoming a brand that stands out on the shelf.”

Almondco and SunRice will be inducted into the Australian Export Awards Hall of Fame in 2026 in recognition of their outstanding and sustained contribution to Australian exporting.

Food and beverage manufacturers are facing a warehouse space crisis, and most of them did not see it coming. Production expanded, storage followed and over time, an organised operation became a fragmented footprint of disconnected warehouses, rising third-party costs, and a site nobody would have designed on purpose. Swisslog ANZ director of sales, Steve Dimitrovski, examines why the space problem is structural and how automation is helping manufacturers solve it without building a new site.

NSW Food and Beverage manufacturers are invited to join an upcoming information session at the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) to learn about funding and support available to help businesses innovate, grow and improve competitiveness.
