Why do I need to heat seal?

Many customers decide to heat seal their Stand Up Pouch or Flat Bottom Pouch to provide a tamper evident environment, safe in the knowledge that the contents haven’t been tampered with since filling and sealing. Our Stand Up pouches have a top header with tear notches above the resealable press seal zipper that is the ideal size for heat sealing. Simply heat seal above the tear notch so that your customer can easily tear open the pouch at the tear notches for initial use.

What can I heat seal?

Heat sealing is commonly used for joining thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE) and/or vacuum metallised polyethylene terephthalate (VMPET) that requires a moderate temperature to achieve an effective seal. All our pouches can be heat sealed as they are produced from the PE family. With our vacuum roll, you can create custom sized bags using a heat sealer.

What heat sealer do I need?

We have a range of heat sealers available that are suitable for ad hoc low volume to high volume usage.  Our Impulse Heat Sealer range is ideal for desktop occasional use providing a sealing area of 200mm, 300mm or 400mm, whereas our Foot Stamping Heat Sealer with a sealing area of 650mm is great if you need hands free heat sealing with a large area (650mm) of heat sealing capabilities.

For the ultimate heat sealer where you have a production line that needs heat sealing quickly, then the tabletop Horizontal or Vertical constant heat Continuous Heat Sealer maybe a more automated preferred solution for you.  The continuous conveyor belt allows you to stand up or lay down your pouches onto a conveyor belt which will feed the pouches through the continually heated elements at your desired temperature and speed according to the packaging composition.
