MINI TRAINING COURSE 1. INTRODUCTION TO PACKAGING SPECIFICATIONS:  Wednesday 12 February 2025

A specification is a legal document between supplier and user and is necessarily comprehensive in terms of detail, physical characteristics, material composition but also performance in the packaging process and subsequently to the final point of receipt (i.e. the end user). Key factors in the preparation of specifications are the use of language and appropriate technical terminology and mensuration. Appropriate reference should also be made to recognised procedures (e.g. ISO) standards for the  assessment and performance of packaging materials. The course will cover basic specifications to the more complex requirements associated with the performance of packaging within the packaging line. The course is designed for those persons charged with the responsibility of the preparation (or monitoring) of specifications e.g. purchasing officers, packaging technologists and designers, production personnel etc. This course will address the clear and correct use of language and terminology in the preparation of specifications.

MINI TRAINING COURSE 2. INTRODUCTION TO THE COLD SUPPLY CHAIN: Friday 14 February 2025

Preliminary and conservative estimates put the cost of food waste within the cold food chain at $3.8 billion at farm gate values. We need to gain an understanding of the extent and the costs of food waste in the cold chain and set up systems for opportunities for improvement. Lack of understanding of the importance of temperature is one of the main reasons for food wastage. With the greatest risks for perishable food  occurring during transportation and handling between mobile and stationary refrigeration points. There are sometimes significant temperature variations between truck or trailer, loading docks and storage facilities. Become familiar with the causes of food wastage in the cold chain, to help improve cold chain processes and standards. Those of us that are involved in packaging need to work towards a universally adopted code to help all cold chain practitioners lift their compliance record.
