Heat Sealable Bags and Tubing - What to Know
Benefits of heat sealing your flexible packaging:
Will ensure your products stays clean, presentable, dry and protected from exposure to most exterior liquids.
Heat sealed packaging inspires confidence and gives your finished product a more professional appearance than ties, knots or other more crude closure applications.
Heat sealed packaging is tamper evident. You give your customers the security of knowing their item(s) contain 100% of that which you packaged, be it for shipping or retail display.
The right sealer for you depends on three things:
The width of the film you are sealing
The material of the film you are sealing
The thickness of the material you are sealing
