Flow wrap packages a wide array of products: snacks, baked goods, produce, pharmaceuticals, personal care items, and even household goods. A compromised seal can lead to spoilage, product degradation, safety concerns, and damage to brand reputation. Therefore, rigorous testing is crucial.
Manufacturers use various methods to verify seal integrity. Seal strength testing, including peel and burst tests, quantifies the force required to break the seal. Leak detection methods, such as water immersion and vacuum leak tests, identify even minute leaks.
While core testing principles remain the same, specific requirements vary by industry. Pharmaceutical packaging often demands more stringent testing due to sensitive products and regulations. Food packaging prioritizes preventing contamination and preserving freshness.
Labthink C630H Heat Seal Tester can be used to determine the optimal heatsealing parameters including dwell time, sealing pressure and sealing temperature for plastic films, flexible composite films, plastic coated paper and other heat-sealable films.
Labthink C660B Leak and Seal Strength Tester is professionally designed for the leakage tests of packages for food, drugs, medical instruments, household chemical products, cars, electronic components, stationeries and other industrial products. The instrument also can be used to test seal performance of specimens after falling and compression tests
Seal integrity testing is vital for product quality, safety, and brand protection. By combining appropriate testing methods and adhering to industry standards, manufacturers ensure their flow-wrapped products are safe, fresh, and effectively protected. Ongoing advancements in testing technology will continue to enhance the reliability of this ubiquitous packaging solution.
