Packaging Matters: Singapore’s Food Packaging Story from the Early 20th Century

Delve into the world of food packaging in Singapore, dating from the early bottling and canning factories in the late 19th to early 20th centuries to the light industries in the 60's and 70's when food was manufactured in factories. Prepare to feel a sense of nostalgia as the kid-friendly exhibition showcases old-school products, tracing the evolution of packaging technologies and the design identities of local food brands. Kids can have a go at the interactive points where they can learn about eco-friendly practices. With rich artifact collections and compelling tales from key players who have helped shaped Singapore's complex food packaging history, ranging from producers and designers to retailers and consumers, the exhibition also explores the future of packaging and how we can reduce our environmental footprint.
