Our Vision
To be the premier global source for the development, application and transfer of knowledge to achieve optimum packaging for physical distribution of products.

Our Mission
Provide economic and environmental benefits by preventing product damage and over packaging during the physical distribution of products as a result of creating, advocating and providing performance testing standards, training, education and certification.

If you share this focus, we invite you to join us, work with us and take advantage of ISTA's highly targeted membership programs.

Decide today to join ISTA, Your Alliance in Transport Packaging!

We want to:
• Provide transport information and tools needed to make jobs easier;
• Help design packages that provide the right amount of product protection; and
• Give useful insight and technology that helps lower the total cost of distribution.

As the only association in the world dedicated to the specific concerns of packaged-product distribution, ISTA understands just how difficult the job can be. Our staff, our board and our entire membership are composed of people just like you who work on and care about the same issues and problems that you face everyday.

Everything we do, every article we publish, every meeting we hold, every decision we make, will be of direct interest to you and your company.
