What the materials cover

The lecture materials from this seminar on the basics of plastic packaging films provide a structured introduction to film technology. They cover the most important plastics used for film packaging, the common manufacturing processes, typical film properties and how these are tested. Film classes and their characteristics are discussed, as is film processing. Using food packaging as an example, the materials show how these properties perform in practice and give an overview of filling methods, applications and machinery. They are suited to professionals in production, development, packaging technology, quality assurance, purchasing, sales and marketing who want to refresh or extend their foundational knowledge.
