As Ken has suggested above, both TAPPI and SPE have a wide variety of training materials. At the moment SPE is having a clearing sale on it's old extrusion training videos- so you could pick up a bargain They're about to release an updated version.

Chris Rauweendal offers an interactive extrusion training program- but I think the pricing is probably similar to Paulsons. http://www.hansergardner.com/dp/hg/HGCatalog_Detail.cfm?ID=CD%2DITX&CATG=P

Have you looked at hiring Paulsons packages, that may be a cost effective option.

You might like to take a look at the plastics processing packages developed for Plastics New Zealand- they are very good and quite affordable http://www.camtrain.com/learning_units_blown_film_extrusion.html

A thought for your boss " If he thinks training is expensive- how cheap is he finding ignorance"

We found purchased training materials were not up to snuff for what we needed (medical processing). Our division in MN developed an internal program that is geared toward our processes and it has been great.
Best I have ever seen for opur application.
