What the materials cover

This workshop, held in the laboratory in Oldenburg, introduces the fundamentals of mechanical testing of films and film packaging. Theoretical sessions alternate with hands-on work on the testing equipment, carried out in small groups with room for participants' own questions. Topics include slip behaviour and COF measurement, bond strength testing, tensile testing, and sealing behaviour with seal curves and seal seam testing. Basic concepts of statistical evaluation and working with standards and test specifications are also covered. The materials suit professionals from production, development, packaging technology, quality control, purchasing and sales who need to assess test values and prepare specimens according to standards.
