Manufacturers, distributors and manufacturer representatives in retail packaging recognized the need to hold an annual meeting to facilitate new business development and networking. As a result, the RPA was formed in 1989. The association organizes the largest annual trade show and conference dedicated to promotion and expansion of retail packaging.
RPA offers comprehensive educational and networking opportunities at its annual show and has 500 members representing all entities of retail packaging nationwide and abroad. Member companies provide complete packaging solutions for retail, industrial and food service industries.
Packaging should be a primary component of any strategic plan. Whether bag, box, ribbon or tissue, every segment is imperative to business success. Packaging is a reflection of the quality of your goods and services, nothing less. The possibilities for packaging to define and influence the way consumers shop are endless.
