Welcome to PAC-IT: a resource to assist teachers understand and teach the ideas and principles behind packaging.

Meet the staff behind the phones at the Packaging Council.

PAC-IT was launched on the 31st of August 2000, in Auckland.

The PAC-IT resource kitPAC-IT has all the elements to assist teachers in creating stimulating and relevant lessons about packaging.

PAC-IT is aimed at teachers of years 1-10 who are intending to use, or are using, projects in packaging in their programme. It is not intended as a student resource.

Although primarily supporting the technology curriculum, PAC-IT will be useful in many other learning areas. Examples of graphics from the Guide and clips from the videos are available here.

The project to develop PAC-IT received financial support from the Minister for the Environment's Sustainable Management Fund (which is administered by the Ministry for the Environment) and the Packaging Council of New Zealand.

Project management and website design, maintenance and hosting by Heurisko Ltd.
