1. Classification, use and function of plastic packaging. 2. Technology of plastic packaging production. 3. Technology of multilayer packaging production. 4. Filling, storage and handling of packaging. 5. Packaging in a modified atmosphere. 6. Utility properties of packaging. 7. Surface treatment and surface properties of packaging. 8. Optical properties. 9. Mechanical properties of packaging materials. 10. Barrier properties of packaging materials. 11. Specific features of medical and pharmacological packaging. 12. Insulation properties of packaging materials. 13. Combinations of packaging materials. 14. Recycling and disposal of packaging. In the laboratory practice, students test the influence of process parameters on selected processes and on the resulting properties of packaging products prepared by blow molding, extrusion, fiber spinning or blowing film extrusion.
