The course Packaging Technology and Development marks the start for the FIPDes students’ education at Lund University. From many aspects this course is the basis for their second-year journey within the specialisation Food Packaging Design and Logistics.
The course is based on a packaging development project with industry in peer groups with students from various study programmes. Thus, the participating FIPDes students work together with a mix of Swedish and international exchange students.
During the final presentation on 20 October, theFIPDes students were very happy to present their food packaging prototypes!
