Description

This course introduces the full process of structural packaging design, from briefing to concept development, with a focus on materials like paperboard, glass, metal, and plastics. Participants learn to balance functional and aesthetic requirements with practical constraints such as strength, barrier properties, and production feasibility, while integrating sustainability and regulatory compliance (e.g. PPWR).

Topics such as packaging functionality, cost estimation, intellectual property, and production equipment are also covered, with design decisions supported by scientific research and industry best practices.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to confidently manage packaging projects with a strong awareness of technical and environmental factors.
