What the materials cover

These seminar materials provide an overview of the wide range of barrier films and their use in practice. The central question is which film suits which packaging purpose. The documents cover common plastics with regard to their suitability for multilayer structures and barrier performance, how barriers work, relevant terms and manufacturing processes, as well as processing of barrier laminate films and final inspection of packages. Example packs with original products illustrate typical applications. Two exercises assign laminate structures to specific product groups to deepen understanding. The material is aimed at professionals in production, development, packaging technology, quality assurance, purchasing and sales.
