The Packaging & Processing Innovation & Design Awards are designed to recognise companies and individuals who are making a significant difference in their field. The PIDA's are the only awards program in ANZ developed to recognise materials/packaging and also machinery/equipment. The PIDA awards are also the exclusive entry point for a number of the categories for the WorldStar Packaging Awards. As the AIP will be hosting the annual WorldStar Packaging Awards for the World Packaging Organisation alongside of the PIDA's, the 2018 event will be an international gala dinner with over 25 countries anticipated to attend.
