Welcome to The Packaging Federation we are a UK trade association for the Packaging Manufacturing Industry. We are a recognised representative for Packaging Manufacturing companies throughout the UK and we also represent companies with associated activities.
Annual sales of £10 billion are made
through the packaging manufacturing industry; around 85,000 people are employed
into this industry which actually makes up 3% of the manufacturing workforce in
the UK. The contributions made by these companies to the UK GDP are major ones
and also a very vital link in the supply chain for packaging.
Recent times have seen packaging placed firmly under the public and commercial
spotlight, which has necessitated a very strong voice for the whole packaging
industry.
The main aim of The Packaging Federation is
to actively promote the industries economic importance, all of the benefits that
come from using packaging, the products that it produces and the concern for
both the community and the environment.
