Packaging World, Summit Publishing Company’s packaging business magazine and the producer of the Brand-Protection Packaging Forum (April 8, 2008, Chicago, IL, USA), has partnered with the BPCouncil (www.bpcouncil.com), a virtual community dedicated to brand protection and intellectual property and addressing a wide spectrum of issues, such as technological advancements, legal developments, market leaders and more.

The agreement between the two companies offers additional exposure for both BPCouncil and the Brand-Protection Packaging Forum and adds a virtual dimension to this first time event.
