What the materials cover

This introductory seminar gives a first overview of flexible plastic packaging and is aimed at food manufacturers, newcomers to the packaging industry, as well as developers, quality assurance staff and product managers. The materials explain the basics of film production and converting, typical manufacturing processes and further processing steps, and a rough framework of common film structures and their properties.
