In the flexible packaging industry, qualification is increasingly developing along clearly structured learning modules. The current webinars from Innoform Coaching form a content foundation that is systematically deepened in in-house training sessions and transferred to the specific requirements of each individual company.
While web seminars convey compact, thematically focused units of knowledge, in-house seminars offer the opportunity to anchor this content within the company using concrete materials, processes and products.
With this INNOin concept, we guarantee high quality standards and a great level of detail – both online and on site.
Key takeaways
- INNOin transfers standardised web seminar content into modular in-house training – online or on site at the company.
- Modules 1–5 form a continuous learning path along the value chain: fundamentals, film production, PE material selection, sealing technology, and monomaterial & recycling.
- The logic of qualification: web seminar = understand a single topic, module = recognise connections, in-house training = application within the company.
- The focus is on the hands-on transfer of existing expertise to your own materials, processes and products – not on new content.
Structure of knowledge transfer: from a single topic to a modular system
The web seminars cover central topic areas such as material science, processing, recyclability and regulatory requirements. This content is bundled and built upon in a modular system within the in-house seminars.
Modules 1 to 5 form a typical learning path along the value chain of flexible packaging – from the fundamentals through to current requirements for circularity.
Module 1: Fundamentals of plastic packaging
Content:
- Fundamentals of polymer chemistry
- Classification of packaging materials
- The relationship between material structure and function
In terms of content, this module corresponds to the introductory web seminars on film materials and provides the basis for a shared understanding within the team.
In the in-house context, this building block is often expanded by:
- company-specific material portfolios
- training of career changers and new employees
- shared terminology across departments
Module 2: Film production and process understanding
- Film extrusion technologies (blown film vs. cast)
- Influence of process parameters
- Overview of finishing and lamination processes
The connection to the web seminars is particularly evident in topics around production and process optimisation.
In-house seminars typically focus on:
- specific production lines
- process stability and quality assurance
- interactions between material and process
Module 3: The world of polyethylenes
- Differentiation of PE types (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, mPE)
- Evaluation according to requirements such as sealing behaviour, transparency and strength
- Practical examples from bag production
This module complements the web seminars on material science with an application-oriented perspective.
Typical in-house extensions:
- selection of suitable materials for existing products
- coordination between purchasing, development and production
- optimisation of existing formulations
Module 4: Sealing layers
- Influence of time, temperature and pressure on the sealing process
- Systems for peelability and tightness
- Error prevention in bag and pouch packaging
This topic area is also reflected in web seminars on processing and packaging technology.
In in-house training, this is often made concrete through:
- analysis of real sealing problems
- coordination of material and machine settings
- optimisation of packaging safety
Module 5: Monomaterial packaging
- Switching from multilayer to monomaterial structures
- Challenges with barrier properties
- Connection with regulatory requirements (e.g. PPWR)
The topics of recyclability and PPWR addressed in the web seminars are transferred here into a practical development framework.
In-house focal points are typically:
- assessment of existing packaging
- development of recyclable alternatives
- trade-offs between function, cost and regulation
Modular in-house seminars with INNOin
Bring Modules 1–5 into your team as tailor-made in-house training – online or on site, using the materials and processes from your own company.
Context: the role of web seminars in the qualification system
The web seminars deliver compact, clearly delimited knowledge building blocks with a high information density and standardised content. our current webinar dates
Modules 1–5 pick up this content and structure it along a continuous learning concept. This creates a systematic transition:
- Web seminar → understand a single topic
- Module → recognise connections
- In-house training → application within the company
In-house seminars can be particularly effective when knowledge needs to be conveyed selectively, in small, compact units and in a familiar team spirit.
Conclusion
The combination of web seminars and modular in-house seminars enables continuous competence development in the flexible packaging industry.
Modules 1 to 5 illustrate how content from standardised online formats can be transferred into structured, practice-oriented training for teams – both online and on site.
The focus is not on new content, but on the consistent transfer of existing specialist topics into concrete operational applications along the entire value chain.
Frequently asked questions
What is INNOin?
INNOin is the in-house seminar concept from Innoform Coaching. It transfers the content of standardised web seminars into modular training tailored to each individual company – online or on site.
What is the difference between web seminars and in-house seminars?
Web seminars convey compact, standardised individual topics. In-house seminars deepen this content using the company’s specific materials, processes and products and anchor it directly within the team.
Which topics do Modules 1 to 5 cover?
The five modules follow the value chain of flexible packaging: fundamentals of plastic packaging, film production and process understanding, material selection (polyethylene), sealing technology, and monomaterial structures and recycling.
Do the training sessions take place online or on site?
Both are possible. The modular in-house seminars can be conducted online or on site at the company – with consistent quality and depth of detail.
