To commemorate this milestone, Packaging & Print Media (PPM) were commissioned to create a 50th Anniversary profile brochure for the Institute. Our thanks go to the advertisers who appear in this 50th year profile in support of the Institute and to PPM, in particular to Gill Loubser, for creating this profile.
