As a packaging engineer, I am responsible for the development, design and optimization of packaging. I work in various industries to ensure that products are not only safely transported, but also presented in an appealing way. This includes the selection of suitable materials, the conduct of durability and functionality tests and the consideration of environmental aspects.
To work as a packaging engineer, a degree in packaging engineering, mechanical engineering, material science or a related field is usually required. Practical experience, for example through internships or work student activities, can also be an advantage to establish yourself in the industry.
Packaging engineers have a wide range of career opportunities. They can work in the research and development department, specialise in project management or work in production management. They also have the opportunity to move into other areas such as marketing or quality assurance. With appropriate experience and further training, management positions in the field of packaging technology can also be taken.
