The Rotary Club of Colombo Mid Town, together with the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) and the Sri Lanka Institute of Packaging (SLIP), organised a full-day capacity-building programme for export-oriented SMEs in Jaffna on 9th December 2025.
The session attracted more than 75 entrepreneurs and delivered in-depth knowledge on packaging fundamentals, including different packaging formats, material choices, internationally accepted best practices, and effective ways to overcome common packaging-related challenges in export markets.

A key highlight of the programme was the hands-on engagement session, where participants showcased their own products to an expert panel from the Sri Lanka Institute of Packaging and received valuable, practical insights to enhance their packaging and make it truly export-ready.
