The German Association of Paper and Plastics Processing (HPV) has fundamentally revised all volumes of the manual for packaging technologists and now offers up-to-date printed and digital versions. This was announced by the association in a press release. The three-part standard work is aimed at all packaging technologist trainees and supports them in learning the profession.
„The HPV has traditionally been committed to training and further education in the professional fields of paper and plastics processing. With the Manual for packaging technologists we improve the knowledge base of our young employees by offering practical learning information. This information is based on the framework curriculum and has been developed and compiled by experts from vocational schools and companies. As an association, we would like to sincerely thank the authors of the handbook.“
