Tamperseal and Precut Cap Liners

Tamper Evident Seal Through Cap Liners

Cap liners are the key to meeting the ever-increasing demands of consumers for more and more products, without the issue of short shelf lives and leaking containers. These tamper-proof seals keep oxygen and moisture fluctuations at bay, maintain the freshness of the products within the containers and offer sufficient leak-proofing—an added advantage, especially for importations and deliveries. Cap liners also meet one of the most important requirements for product integrity: tamperseal.

Tamper evident seals are achieved through the multiple layers that make up these cap liners, all working together to provide proof for the consumer if any untoward tampering of their newly-acquired product has happened.

Through the process of induction sealing, a cap liner adheres to the container’s mouth. This tamper evident security seal cannot be reattached once removed, which is one way by which tampering can be demonstrated. And depending on the type of cap liner you choose for your packaging, resealing can still be achieved for subsequent usage, even if the tamperseal has initially been removed by the consumer.

Why Consumers Trust Cap Liners for Tamper Evidence

Tamperseal is provided by cap liners in many different products from a multitude of businesses. Everything from the food and beverage industry, to pharmaceuticals, all the way to agro-industry, consumers put their trust in manufacturers to deliver adequate tamper evidence for their products. This ensures the safety of the consumers and boosts the people’s confidence in the companies which provide these products. Any disruption in this tamper-proofing will alarm the consumer that an outside force has tampered with their product, enough that they will second-guess using the product. This mode of alarm could potentially save many lives.

Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued guidelines regarding tamperseal in pharmaceuticals and foods to safeguard the public. This simply proves that tamper-proof seal stickers as a mode of tamperseal are recognized as an important public safety tool.

Induction Sealing in The Tamperseal Process

For cap liners to be placed properly, the induction sealing process must be employed. Induction sealing begins with the caps (and their cap liners) being loaded into the capper. Containers will then be filled with their respective products and capped. Down the conveyor line, these capped containers will continue until they reach the area below the induction sealing head. This part of the induction sealing machine will emit an electromagnetic field that penetrates the cap and the aluminum foil layer within its liner. This field permeates throughout the liner material, causing an electric current to melt the sealing film in the liner. The foil is then allowed to cool down as it leaves the induction field. Once cooled, the tamper-evident bottle seal fully bonds to the mouth of the container. At this point, even when the cap is removed, the cap liner will remain bound to the container’s mouth.

Once the container is opened by the consumer, the induction-sealed cap liner will adequately show evidence of tampering because this seal cannot be reattached once removed. Anyone who decides to tamper with the tamper-proof seal for bottles will need to use specialized equipment to reattach it to the container’s mouth—a feat for anyone without an induction sealing machine. Therefore, cap liners do their jobs well as tamper evident seals.

Glass Liners for Sealing Glass Jars

Glass Liners in The Demand for Glass Jar Packaging

The appeal to use glass packaging is now more prevalent than ever. More and more people have become environmentally inclined to cope with consumerist practices, and subsequent manufacturing protocols, have followed suit. And when it comes to packaging in glass, one of the biggest hurdles for manufacturers is glass liners.

For many environmentally-conscious individuals, the appeal of glass-packed products is partly due to the wanting that said product not be tainted by plastic contact. Consumers are looking for purity in products and most likely align themselves with the goals of environmental awareness and sustainability. A big plus is that glass packaging is easily recycled and upcycled. If packaging can be repurposed or go on to serve a purpose well beyond a single use, then that is ideal.

With the widening usage of this type of packaging, improvement of glass liner technology is an inevitable need that must be met.

Traditional Glass Sealing

The uses of glass liners are three-fold:

A barrier for outside elements upon opening of the product
A form of tamper evidence
A seal to prevent leaking

Classically, almost all glass packaging had a neck with a thread to allow for the placement of a cap. More often than not, this cap was made of metal, thereby eliminating the prospect of using induction sealing for these products.

The induction sealing process usually works with a cap holding the induction sealing liner. This cap is then passed under a high-frequency oscillating magnetic field to adhere the components to one another. This process, however, does not work with metal caps as the metal interferes with the magnetic field.

In order to achieve the necessary uses of the glass liner, traditionally-used technology included heat shrink bands and tamper-evident labels. These two brought their own sets of challenges.

Heat shrink bands are difficult to apply in production and are even more difficult to remove once in the hands of the consumer. They have also been known to “collect” dust from the surroundings, making them less than appealing for end users. They even have the added disadvantage for the modern environmentally-conscious consumer: they are made of plastic. Ironically, when purchasing this glass-packaged product, the consumer will first have to remove the heat shrink band before they can even have access to the product.

Tamper-evident labels, on the other hand, are applied to the lid and serve as proof of any tampering with the product. They are used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the benefit and safety of consumers.

Tamper-evident labels, along with heat shrink bands, are added on and do not serve the purpose of preventing leaks on their own. As such, it was very difficult for manufacturers to incorporate them with glass liners in order to achieve all three goals of liners. This lack of leak-proofing generally limited the use of glass packaging to dry powders and goods. Connected to this was the difficulty that liquids, especially oils, added to the equation. Previously, many liners would deteriorate with prolonged contact with the products. Their rims would gradually lift off of the glass container’s mouth, leading to issues with the integrity of the liners and the loss of trust of the consumers in the safety of the product.

New Technology in Glass Liners

With the advancement of technology, there is now newfound flexibility in glass jar seals. The improvement comes in time with the increased reliance on glass packaging, allowing said consumers to keep their values when they purchase products sealed with the now more reliable glass liners.

This new technology in glass liners now allows manufacturers to cater to a wider variety of products to package in glass: anything from coffee that needs its freshness maintained, to gel capsules that need tamper evidence, all the way to vegetable oils which proved hard to seal in the containers of the past.

Tamper Seal Using Pre-cut Cap Liners

Cap liners have opened up a new way of keeping products fresher for longer and allow for more ease in transporting bottles and containers without the inevitable leakage and spills. This technology has also paved the way for the tamper seal by demonstrating even the smallest disruption in the product by an outside force. Therefore, people from both manufacturing and the general public put their trust in cap liners as tamper seals.

Tamper-evident seals are made of multiple layers of material, all working together to ensure a tight, leak-proof, and tamper-proof seal for bottles. These tamper-evident security seals also go the extra mile to serve as a barrier against moisture and oxygen in order to meet and even lengthen the shelf-life of the product. The tamper-proof seal stickers adhered to the container mouth through the process of induction sealing. Once the tamper-evident bottle seal is removed, the tamper-proof seal for bottles cannot be reattached to the container without specialized equipment, and so, it has become a viable way of tamper evidence for consumers.

The trust of the people towards this technology also encompasses major industries. For the contract manufacturer, cosmetics companies, boutique and cottage food industry, spice distributors, and small enterprises, the use of the tamper-proof seal for bottles that induction liners provide gives a big boost to their product image and integrity.

Pre-Cut Liners for Tamper Seal

As the industry tries to troubleshoot importation issues on a global scale, finding the cap liners you need can be difficult or even impossible, particularly if the imports are dealt with in smaller quantities. With Benefel Pty Ltd. and Adeneli Packaging, your loose liners and tube-packed, pre-cut liners can be supplied with very short notice and delivered to you in a timely manner.

We utilize tools able to meet the demands of both large and small enterprises. For smaller-scale and pilot projects, tube-packed pre-cut liners are more adequate as it solves labor considerations and can be combined with cost-effective budget lining machinery.

These tamper seals for bottles, however, are not limited to use for only smaller businesses. In a kind of paradox, the very large-scale projects are also often best served with tube-packed, pre-cut liners. For these production lines, there are many more resources specific to their needs that need to be addressed, and the use of pre-cut liners is able to help with these:

The lining machinery necessary is of much higher sophistication compared to smaller-scale industries but the pay-off comes in the better material yield.
Because the tamper seals come in already slit, cut, and processed, the arduous need for maintenance of the materials used for these processes is eliminated.
For waste management, dust and particle factors, as well as waste generated from cutting the roll-form tamper seal for bottle stock, is removed.
Shipping costs for the lining material may be lower for the pre-cut form depending on your location.

For more innovative ideas, we are able to supply unique types that are specific to the pre-cut format liners. An example of this is liners with backing and pull-tabs.

Many pre-cut liner manufacturers also have scavenging and recycling techniques in line with their pre-cut operations to make full use of the offcuts generated, thereby resulting in a cleaner environmental footprint for this format of cap-lining material.

Glass Jar Seal and Glass Induction Sealing with SealerOn™

Traditional glass jar seal techniques no longer cut it when it comes to the average consumer’s needs. More and more people value a product’s longevity through the provision of reliable oxygen and moisture barrier. Along with this is the necessity for tamper evidence, particularly for products such as food and pharmaceuticals. And for the benefit of everyone involved in the process of product procurement, all the way to consumption of the said product, a leak-proof approach is more than necessary.

In the past, glass jar seals were often quite unreliable. Consumers faced the dilemma of sub-par seals or foil seals that made it too difficult to get to the product itself. For the part of the manufacturer, the process of adhesion of the seals onto the glass containers was very daunting and more often than not, ended up with inadequate results. Manufacturers were forced to rely on heat shrink bands to achieve a seal that kept the product within the container but these bands were too finicky for consumers to remove. These issues have now been remedied, thanks to glass jar sealing technology.

Many consumers prefer to purchase products in glass jars. They often do so with the thought that glass is more premium packaging over plastics as the glass is viewed to preserve the “purity” of the product. They also rely on this packaging to be of more environmental benefit and can easily be separated for recycling. As such, the need to make our customers’ lives easier is a foremost demand in almost any industry.

Primitive Glass Bottle Sealing

Older technology for sealing glass jars made use of heat shrink bands and unreliable universal induction foils.

Heat shrink bands can be a fickle tool to use. On the production side of things, applying heat shrink bands onto the glass jar can be a tricky and sometimes dangerous setup. It involves high-temperature heat guns, blowers, or steam tunnels. It also deals with a lightweight film that could come either in individual pieces or in tube form. This film format necessitates consistent placement and finishes which can be arduous to have to meet each time.

For clients, heat shrink bands can bring a very unfriendly user experience. These bands are difficult to remove. And with the idea in the consumers’ minds that “glass = good for the environment,” having to remove a piece of transparent PVC plastic the very first moment they need to use the product, can be quite off-putting.

On the other hand, some manufacturers decided to use universal induction foils for glass sealing. Even at the time, these induction foils for glass had already been available for a long while. However, this technology proved to be effective mainly for dry products and powders only. Wet or oily products can initially appear to be sealed with said foils, but over time, what looked like well-sealed products ended up having a foil that lifted off the sealing rim “on its own.”

Now, in a time when consumers value good quality and trust in the products they use, having foil seals for bottles that detach themselves from the glass jar can be detrimental to sales.

Glass Liners

In recent years, there have been advances in glass jar sealing. Innovation in the field has now given manufacturers the opportunity to seal not just dried goods in glass jars, but also wet and/or oily products such as coconut oil. With our team’s solutions, we are also able to cater to this growing demand both from manufacturers and their consumers.

Investigating Glass Induction Sealing

Below are excerpts from an email that was sent for an inquiry which we published on this blog as part of FAQ.

Thank you for your earlier messages and a link you sent I see the glass you are considering to use for induction sealing looks like the following:

Your Questions 01:
It has been confusing, because I have gotten or read contradicting things. Mostly I have been told that we should use CONDUCTION machines for glass, because most INDUCTION relies on caps. I have also been told that there is only one kind of liner/seal that works on glass, and that is called INDUCTION (very confusing).

I believe both of your companies Adeneli and SealOn only make INDUCTION machines, and lids/seals for INDUCTION machines, not CONDUCTION. Is this correct?

Even though I read on your website, that INDUCTION LINERS only work on INDUCTION machines, again that contradicts what others have said so I wondered if you could elaborate on that. Why do you say it won’t work with CONDUCTION machines?

Our Answers01:
Our specialty is Induction Machinery.

We can tell you that usually induction sealing is done on products that have caps because the induction seal is held in the cap against the containers sealing edge with some cap tightening force for the induction cycle.

Where there is no cap on the product or where the cap interferes with the induction process (either it has Metal content or is an unusual shape) we have a very special range of induction sealers called “Capless Induction Machines”

Glass Induction Sealing is a tricky area of induction sealing dependent on the glass and the contents as it involves a hot melt adhesive layer which will perform quite differently depending on:

-The glass
-The contents
-The induction sealing material
– The induction sealing parameters including:
– The length of the induction cycle
– The Intensity and the “profile” of the induction cycle
– The pressure on the seal during the induction cycle
– The cooling period before releasing the pressure of the sealing head
– The shape of the induction coil; sometimes it needs to extend “around” the lip of the container
– The dead fold properties of the foil

Heat Conduction machines are NOT our specialty, however, I can tell you they rely on a sealing surface to be heated using heating elements and the sealing surface needs to maintain a temperature that is in a range that suits the sealing material and the container such that the sealing material and the container can fuse/melt together.

When sealing onto Plastic , which is not much of a heat sink, maintaining the sealing surface temperature is quite straight forward and you can expect the material and container to fuse/melt together.

The heat source for an induction machine is the induction process onto the sealing foil – it is an instant source of heat for the period of the induction cycle. When sealing onto glass it is usually a process of melting an adhesive (under pressure), and allowing the adhesive to cool/set before you release the pressure

Your Questions 02:
I see that you say you have cap-less that works on glass but I can’t tell if they can be custom printed, and roll over the sides like we want. I also can’t tell if you have smaller scale, table top machines, that are manual or semi-automatic that would work for the cap-less glass application. I doubt we could invest in a large conveyor belt automatic machine at this time.

Containers-I have also read about possible specially treated glass for using foil lids, but I can’t tell if this is a necessity or not and if so how to go about it. The place I read this regarded yogurt, and since ours is not a food product or liquid or powder, I wonder if this treated glass makes the bond much stronger for those purposes but that it would still seal without treated glass. Because for our purposes it would not have to be overly strong, and we want to have it fold down the sides which would help secure it.

Our Answers02:
On our side we can provide glass sealing induction foil.
For induction foil the MOQ of foil is 3000m² = 32000ft² – Probably too much for a pilot operation
If your Glass opening was 75mm or 3” in Diameter that would equate to about 470,000 Glasses
We can also supply this material in much smaller quantity without printing – MOQ about 10,000 candles worth.

The entry level machine that we are confident works with our Material (subject to tests) is our Benchtop Capless Machine.

The Sealed finish is as you see it in the video – a little bit wrapped down the side but not much.

As your contents are not food and essentially dry it should be straight forward, however, if your product contains essential oils these can wear away at a what looks like a good induction seal; so you need to test the longevity of the seal.

For more of a wrap down the sides it can be done, though, for pilot operations the material needs to be supplied pre-formed.

Pre-formed liners require tooling charges and the pre-formed liners are a lot more expensive than simple pre-cut flat liners.

Again, for pre-printed you need to purchase that MOQ.

Note with plain liners you can always get labels to apply to the sealed glass. We have label partners we can put you in contact with.

We also have the ability to provide you with the Epson Colorworks printers where you can print your own labels.
I hope this is a good start for your look into machinery and materials to achieve the induction sealing across the top of your products packaged into Re-purposed Glass.
