What the materials cover

This workshop introduced mechanical testing of films and film packaging. It took place in the laboratory in Oldenburg and was aimed at professionals from quality assurance, development and application technology, as well as from laboratories of packaging manufacturers and packers. The materials focus on standards and test specifications primarily relevant to the tensile/compression testing machine. Theoretical and practical sections alternated. Prior knowledge was helpful but not mandatory. Participants could bring in their own questions and film samples, and the work was carried out in small groups.
