BFSV seminars: Packaging training for people in practice
The BFSV seminars and training courses specifically address the growing demands on transport and end-of-line packaging. These constantly present companies with new challenges and thus also require new competencies. With targeted further training, you can face these challenges calmly.
At BFSV in Hamburg, we train employees and managers from the packaging industry, trade and logistics, and the insurance industry. Our packaging seminars cover the properties of packaging materials and packaging supplies, their transport and internationally applicable standards for export packaging.
Another focus is damage limitation. In the packaging training courses, we therefore impart experience-based knowledge about stresses during packaging, storage and transport. This knowledge can reduce delivery damage and thus avoid complaints.
Packaging manufacturers save costs as early as the packaging design stage. The BFSV Academy therefore offers software courses that can be used to calculate wooden pallets. In addition, we teach methods for calculating heavy goods boxes as well as statistical principles for quality control in packaging production.

Corrugated board packaging
Export packaging made of wood in consideration of HPE and GDV
According to expert estimates, 5-10% of all insured damage to goods (approx. €300 and €600 million per year) is due to inadequate packaging.

In our seminar, you will learn how to design this packaging in accordance with GDV and HPE guidelines.

Experience since 1954
Our knowledge of packaging, the knowledge of qualities, regulations and no-gos, has been established since 1954. But we don't rest on our laurels; we continue to research, test thoroughly and talk about what we do. In the future, we will continue to focus on the essentials: Packaging.

Our accredited research and testing laboratories at HAW Hamburg in Bergedorf enable us to work objectively. You benefit, too: In the practical part of the BFSV seminars, you get the opportunity to directly substantiate your theoretically acquired knowledge in practice.
Individual trainings
The BFSV packaging training courses take place in small groups. This provides enough space for structured learning content and product-related questions. In addition, all aspects of the training topic are addressed in detail.

To anyone who is affected by the topic of packaging knowledge in their daily work: For example, people who develop packaging, ship products, drive transporters.
