The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) celebrates Christmas a little differently to most organisations.

The annual party sees its members helping to pack 1000x Family Hampers and 300x Ladies Hampers which are given to Foodbank to help those in need during the holiday season.

“Over the last seven years, our industry has packed over 6500 hampers to the value of in excess of $700,000 for people in need, with all of the items either donated, or the funds raised by the Association and the wider industry,” AIP executive director Nerida Kelton says.

“The AIP invites you, your staff, colleagues and families to come and help us pack the hampers on the 7th of December in Brisbane, Queensland.

“All ages are invited to attend this special event with the oldest volunteer to date being 85 and the youngest five. Help the AIP make a difference in someone else's life this holiday season.”
