You may be thinking of the Ephemera Society, 8 Galveston Road, London,
England, SW15 2SA (phone/fax +44 181 874 3363).  Concerned with all the
'minor transient documents of everyday life' - printed and written.
 
"Mr. Packaging" is Robert Opie, who curates the Robert Opie Collection
Museum of Advertising and Packaging, Albert Warehouse, Gloucester
Docks,, Gloucester, England, GL1 3EH (fax +44 1462 308507, no email tht
I know of).
