INCPEN Trade Association Group (TAG)
INCPEN has well established partnerships with like-minded organisations from parts of the economy interested in packaging systems. This is our Trades Associations Group (TAG). TAG includes all the main packaging materials sectors: cartons, glass, metals, paper/card, plastics and wood. We pull together this collective of 38 representative bodies and jointly benefit from sharing collaborative approaches on packaging issues, particularly government consultations shaping UK and European packaging policies.
What our membership says about us
