Heat sealing types and material compatibility

Heat sealing joins thermoplastic packaging materials by applying controlled heat and pressure to the seal area, melting and fusing the polymer layers together. The main heat sealing technologies used in packaging are: impulse sealing — a thin resistance wire is momentarily heated by an electrical impulse when pressed against the packaging material; the wire heats and cools within each sealing cycle; suitable for PE and PP films and laminates up to medium gauge; standard for table-top bag sealers, foot-operated sealers, and semi-automatic sachet and pouch sealers; low running cost as the element only heats when sealing. Constant-heat sealing — a continuously heated jaw applies heat for a set dwell time; suitable for thicker films, foil laminates, and materials requiring a longer heat dwell; used on some tray sealers, form-fill-seal machines, and carton sealers. Band sealing — the packaging material passes between two moving heated belts; the belt speed controls the dwell time at temperature; suitable for continuous high-speed sealing of filled pouches and bags; standard for automated pouch lines, vertical bag filling lines, and food packaging. Ultrasonic sealing — high-frequency vibration generates friction heat at the seal interface; suitable for difficult-to-seal materials (foil laminates, coated papers) and for sealing through contaminated (product-smeared) seal areas. Film material compatibility is critical: PE and LDPE films (bread bags, produce bags, freezer bags) are the easiest to seal with impulse or band sealing. PP films require a higher seal temperature than PE. PA/PE (nylon/PE) laminates require specific seal temperature and pressure settings. Aluminium foil laminates require careful temperature control to prevent delamination. BOPP (oriented polypropylene, crisp and snack bags) requires a heated jaw at the correct temperature range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an impulse sealer and a constant-heat sealer?

An impulse sealer's heating element is cold at rest and heats up only for the brief moment of the sealing cycle, then cools before the jaws open. This prevents the packaging material from sticking to the element and reduces energy consumption. Impulse sealers are standard for PE, PP, and light laminates. A constant-heat sealer maintains the jaw at a continuous elevated temperature throughout operation. This is necessary for thicker materials, foil laminates, and materials that require a longer dwell time to seal properly. Constant-heat sealers require Teflon coating on the jaws to prevent the hot film sticking, and the operator must time the seal dwell carefully to avoid overheating.

Can a heat sealer seal through product contamination in the seal area?

Product contamination in the seal area (oil, sauce, powder, moisture) is one of the most common causes of seal failure in food packaging. Standard heat sealers cannot reliably seal through contaminated areas — the product prevents the polymer layers from fusing cleanly. Best practice is to ensure that the seal area is clear of product before sealing, by design of the filling machine and the container. For products where contamination is unavoidable, ultrasonic sealing can seal through some contamination by generating heat at the molecular level within the material. VFFS and FFS machines use jaw designs with product-clearing devices (back-flush air, funnel shapes) to keep the seal area clean.

What seal strength do I need for my packaging?

Seal strength requirements depend on the product weight, distribution handling, and whether a peelable seal is required. For a 500g food pouch, a permanent fusion seal of at least 30–50 N/15mm width is typically sufficient to survive normal distribution. For a medical device or pharmaceutical pouch that must be peelable for sterile access, a controlled peel-seal at 5–15 N/15mm is required. Heat seal strength must be tested on the actual packaging material and product combination by heat-sealing test samples and measuring peel strength per ISO 11339 or ASTM F88. Confirm seal strength specification and testing protocol with your packaging material supplier and machine manufacturer.
