What the materials cover

These seminar materials show how to write complete and traceable specifications for films and pouches using the Innoform film specification template, which is discussed in detail. They include overviews of common tests for flexible packaging films with explanations, covering puncture and tear propagation, bond strength, slip behaviour, the use of standards and test methods, and seal characterisation. A short statistics section addresses the evaluation of test results and the weighting of requirements, while practical case studies show how specifications can help reduce costs and errors. The material is aimed at staff and managers in production, development, packaging engineering, quality assurance, purchasing and sales.
