Field trip to the Valréas cardboard and printing museum

As part of their training, 1st year Packaging, Emballage & Conditionnement (PEC) students from the Avignon University IUT had the opportunity to visit the Musée du Cartonnage et de l'Imprimerie in Valréas on Monday 16 June 2025.

This approach has enabled us to immerse ourselves in the history of packaging, witnessing the development of cardboard and printing techniques from the 19th century to the 1990s.

Our students had the opportunity to discover historic machines, the main stages in packaging design and traditional printing processes (offset, letterpress, etc.).

One of the highlights of the visit was the discovery of a fun experimentation area, where learning can take place in a more interactive and user-friendly way.

This educational outing provided a real immersion in the industrial history of packaging, as well as giving our students food for thought about current issues in the sector.

We'd like to extend our sincerest thanks to the museum team for their warm welcome and the richness of their discussions!
