4.0 out of 5 stars Review on "Plastic Packaging" (Selke et al.)., September 30, 2007

By	Stefano Farris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Plastics Packaging: Properties, Processing, Applications, And Regulations (Hardcover)

The book is well written and easy to understand also for people not directly involved in the food packaging field. Each chapter is developed enough to provide the necessary informations to teach in a class or to solve practical problems at industrial level.
