What the materials cover

This workshop introduced the basics of mechanical testing of films and film packaging and took place in the laboratory in Oldenburg. The focus was on standards and test specifications relevant primarily for the tensile/compression testing machine. Theoretical and practical sections alternated, and participants worked in small groups. The workshop addressed staff from quality control, development and application technology as well as laboratories of packaging manufacturers and packers. Prior knowledge was helpful but not strictly required. Participants could bring in their own questions and film samples.
