What are membership segments?
The NPTA Alliance serves the interests of both the Paper and Packaging industries through it's membership segments. While cross-over between segments can occur, members are typically classified in only one membership segment. Each segment hosts their own events and meetings to promote learning and networking specific to the unique elements that affect that particular industry. However, the segments share similar opportunities and challenges that NPTA addresses through the development of education, data and research.
