Have you upgraded your membership yet?
All members are not created equal. Why? Because packaging professionals join IoPP for different reasons and utilize different levels of services that IoPP provides. IoPP's new tiered membership model is in keeping with membership organization trends, which allow people the flexibility to choose the level of membership they want. Each option is focused on ways to help you get what you need from IoPP--to learn more about packaging, to get noticed by industry leaders and peers, and to raise your stature as a packaging professional. As a Regular Member of IoPP, you can RENEW NOW and be automatically upgraded to Premium Member level status for Regular Member pricing of $175--a $249 value! This offer is only available to current Regular Members of IoPP and ends on November 30, 2013! Bonus! If you've recently renewed your membership and you renew now at the Premium Level, you'll get 12 months in addition to your remaining months as a member.
