Cámara Venezolana del Envase

What Cámara Venezolana del Envase does

Cámara Venezolana del Envase (CAVENVASE) is a Venezuelan non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) founded in 1970 that serves as the national trade chamber for the country's packaging, containers, and crating industry. It represents approximately 35 member companies organized into six sub-sectors—metallic, paper and cardboard, glass, plastic (rigid and flexible), raw materials, and parts and equipment—with member companies distributed across Miranda, Aragua, Carabobo, and Zulia. The organization's purpose is to promote and defend the Venezuelan packaging industry through institutional representation, professional development, and recognition of excellence.

CAVENVASE's core offerings center on three pillars. First, a formal membership service that delivers sector representation before public and private bodies, access to apex organizations (CONINDUSTRIA, FEDECAMARAS), and gated resources including the Microjuris legal portal, LegisComex customs database, and monthly production activity reports. Second, a training franchise built around the Boot Camp en Diseño, Desarrollo y Tecnología en Empaques, Envases y Embalaje—a 120-hour, 9-module diploma program certified by CIAP at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB) and delivered via Zoom and Google Classroom—alongside shorter-format technical workshops on topics such as plastic injection, shelf life, permeability, and polyolefin friction coefficients. Third, the Premio Nacional de Empaques, an annual award with categories for Innovation, Sustainability, and Student projects, complemented by a quarterly bulletin (Boletín Trimestral CAVENVASE) for member communication.

The business model is membership-fee-funded supplemented by one-time training program tuition (e.g., approximately Bs 3,500 per professional Boot Camp participant, with discounted student rates and early-registration discounts of 25%). CAVENVASE operates with a very small team (~5 employees) from a single headquarters in Los Ruices, Caracas, and is governed by an elected Junta Directiva composed of representatives from member companies; Ricardo Roberto (Envases Venezolanos S.A.) serves as President for the 2026-2028 term. International linkage is maintained via membership in the World Packaging Organization (WPO) and domestic standardization work via FONDONORMA.
