About GAA and PLGA Global
The Gravure Assn. of America is a trade association. It was formed in January 1987 as the result of the merger of the Gravure Technical Association (GTA) and the Gravure Research Institute (GRI). Both GTA and GRI had been in existence since 1947. The two organizations consolidated their resources with the intent to create a more effective and responsive association. The Packaging and Label Gravure Association Global (PLGA Global) was founded in 1999 by printers and converters to create value and opportunities through technology, education and promotion of the Gravure process specifically in packaging, label and product-specific applications.
