Heat Seal Bags

Food-producing companies and businesses around the world have been grappling with the problem of how to keep food goods fresh for a longer amount of time. Machine technology advancements, such as the development of heat sealing machines, have made it feasible to find a number of solutions to this challenge.

When combining thermoplastic materials, like polyethylene and polypropylene, that require a moderate temperature to establish a strong seal, a technique known as impulse heat sealing is commonly used. This procedure produces heat seal bags, which have been both cost-efficient and effective in prolonging the shelf life of food.

All pouch packaging supplied by The Pouch Shop is heat sealable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the heat sealing process?

Putting heat and pressure on two types of thermoplastic to make them stick together is called heat sealing. Heat is used to seal or weld two thermoplastics together in a direct contact method. A hot die or sealing bar is used to do this. This process results in heat seal bags, which are a great way to preserve food products.

Are there any benefits to heat sealing bags?

Yes, there are a number of reasons why heat seal bags are chosen by many companies to package their products.

• Safety. Heat sealing bags ensure that any tampering with the packaging is immediately detected. There is no way to return it to its original state once it has been opened without leaving a mark. Many businesses actually demand this from their packaging suppliers because it gives everyone peace of mind that what they are buying is safe.
• Extended Shelf Life. When food is placed inside heat sealer bags, it retains its freshness. An airtight seal is achieved by applying heat and pressure to the adhesive area, preventing any contaminants from entering.
• Clean Look. Labeling and printing on bags and pouches can be done in conjunction with heat sealing. Heat seal bags give product packaging a clean look that will look great on any shelf.
