Preface
Established in Mid 2024, the ‘Bangladesh Institute of Packaging (BIP)’ marks a pioneering step in the nation’s packaging learning landscape. The founders identified a critical need in the rapidly expanding packaging sector, which significantly contributes to Bangladesh’s national economy. Despite the sector’s growth, there was no specialised institute dedicated to developing skilled manpower to meet international standards. BIP was created to bridge this gap, providing the first comprehensive packaging learning and training in the country.

Quality packaging is essential for sustaining this growth, as it directly impacts product preservation, safety, and marketability. To compete on an international level, the industry requires skilled manpower trained to global standards. The BIP is uniquely positioned to meet this need by providing specialised education and fostering innovation through continuous research and development.
