What the materials cover

These lecture materials from a basic seminar on plastic packaging films provide a structured overview of film technology. They cover the most important plastics used for film packaging, common manufacturing processes, typical film properties and the test methods used to describe them. Film classes are presented in two parts, complemented by film processing, packaging applications and machinery, and practical examples from food packaging. The materials suit newcomers and experienced staff who want to refresh their fundamentals, for example in production, development, packaging technology, quality assurance, purchasing, sales or marketing. They follow the structure of the specialist book "Kunststofffolien" and link theoretical basics with practical relevance.
