Container Sealing – Sealed for Protection

Product Sealing Methods

In the past, when it came to container sealing, many manufacturers were faced with the issue of leaky seals, lack of tamper evidence, and problems with keeping their products fresh for consumer use.

Earlier forms of seal packaging made use of heat shrink bands. These bands were made of PVC plastics which worked for their intended purpose of keeping the contents from leaking. However, these bands were tedious to place onto the container on the part of the manufacturer. For the consumer, the bands served as a barrier between the consumer and the product because of how difficult they were to remove. Additionally, once these bands were removed, they would be very difficult to place back in the container, meaning essentially, they were one-use pieces of plastic and could not adequately keep the product fresh once the container has been opened.

Besides these aspects, another issue brought about by heat shrink bands was that they were not environment-friendly at all. And so, with a growing public outcry against one-use plastics, manufacturers turned to another form of container sealing.

Universal induction foils were introduced particularly for sealing glass packaging. They allowed for the sealing of glass—a feat that proved quite difficult for many manufacturers. These sealed for your protection foils worked well for a while, especially for dry goods and powders. However, as time went by, many have found a big issue with using these types of cap liners when it comes to liquids.

When wet or oily products are placed in these glass containers, the induction foils adhered to the container mouths initially seem to stay. However, over time, the foils tend to lift off of the rim of the container, posing a problem with leakage and issues with the integrity of the product itself. This issue may prove alarming for the consumers themselves, as it can be misconstrued as tampering with the product.

And so, with all of the issues that arose with this more traditional technology, even universal induction foils no longer cut it for the current generation of consumers.

Cap Liners and Induction Seal Packaging

With new technological advancements in cap liner materials and induction sealing, seal packaging is now more efficient and reliable. Cap liners, through the induction sealing process, are able to be processed and adhered to the containers without issue.

In the process of induction sealing, caps come into the production line with the liners placed within them. These liners are placed onto the already-filled containers as they pass down the conveyor line. The containers then pass beneath the induction sealing head which emits an electromagnetic field permeating through the cap and the aluminum foil layer in the liner. This field generates an electric current that, when passed through the sealing film, will melt the film, adhering the liner onto the container’s mouth. The film is then allowed to cool as the container proceeds further down the production line.

This process allows for proper and reliable adherence of the cap liner to the container, serving its function of leak-proofing.

Additionally, the liner cannot be reattached without specialized equipment once someone removes said liner from the mouth of the container. This means that the cap liner serves as a form of tamper evident seal, alerting the consumer of issues with product integrity or external meddling with the contents of the container.

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.

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.
