History:

The Association of Visual Packaging Manufacturers was formed in 2003 as a nonprofit organization to explore different ways to promote the usage of blister cards, skin packaging board, thermoformed blisters, blister film, paperboard, coating and equipment.

Our members consist of three of the major blister board converters, the two major coating suppliers, the largest converters of packaging film, a majority of the companies that convert these essential raw materials into retail packaging products, and the largest heat seal equipment manufacturers.
