Excursion to Prague

First time that we did this type of excursion. It was held in our new Master course „packaging technology and (intercultural) management“. The targets were: improve & use of english, deepen the knowlegde of packaging industry esp. in other country/culture, team building and fun.

First stop was a break at Melnik where Elbe and Moldau meet; the unexpected highlight was a Christmas market in summer (due to movie shootings).

 

 

 

 

The first company stop was at Thimm Packaging (on Insta) to see corrugated board production, printing, die cutting & gluing. Also the new technology of laser cutting to produce very fine/slim extraordinary designs.

At the factory tour we saw how they are produced.

On the last day we visited the factory of Sachsenmilch / Müller in Leppersdorf, where we saw a big scale of different products and filling machines. Furthermore we learnt how 4 different actual packaging projects/developments had been tackled by different engineers.
