Program Outline:
Broby Grafiska is the only school in Scandinavia offering training in flexographic printing and are Sweden???s centre for packaging design and printing. Attracting a customer involves far more than simply what???s inside a box. Good packaging not only protects its contents but also has a well thought-out function and appeals to the senses.
???Mixing theory and practical experience in an educational program is valuable and relevant. Several of our former trainees from Broby Grafiska are now employed as packaging engineers at IKEA of Sweden.???
