Adding a “Cut” Option to Your Sealer

Posted on 07/11/2012 | 15 comments

We have two types of sealers that offer a “cut” option: a cut and seal sealer (aka a sealer with a round wire) OR a sealer with a sliding cutter. Please take a look at the two options to determine which sealer works best for you. If you have questions, please contact us or one of our distributors!

Seal and Cut Sealer
A seal and cut sealer is most often used in shrink wrapping film and bags. When using a seal and cut sealer, any excess material above the seal is cut off creating a clean seamless seal.

Seal and Cut Sealer (Round Wire)

When purchasing a seal and cut sealer, ask for an impulse sealer with a ROUND wire instead of a flat wire. Flat wire sealers create seal widths such as 2mm, 5mm, or 10mm seal widths. Round wires create no seam.

If you already have a 2mm sealer, you can easily purchase a round wire heating element and convert your sealer to a cut and seal sealer. Please note: ONLY 2mm sealers can be converted, a 5mm or 10mm sealer CANNOT be converted to a round wire. See our instructions on how to change your heating element wire.

Sealer with Sliding Cutter
Now, a sealer with a sliding cutter is most often used to trim a bag length or seal poly tubing. A sealer with a sliding cutter is equipped with a blade which will cut any excess material about 1/4″ from the seal line.

We carry sealers with cutters in a 2mm and 5mm seal width. We recommend using a 2mm for sealing materials 3-5mil thick (6-10mil total) and 5mm seal width for sealing materials 6-10mil thick (12-20mil total).

Shrink Wrapping 101

Posted on 05/03/2012 | 3 comments

Why Shrink Wrap?
Shrink wrapping is an excellent and easy way to package a product without the need to purchase a lot of expensive equipment. Shrink wrapping provides:

Crystal clear sealed packaging
Protection from dust and moisture
Tamper proof packages

What Do I Need to Shrink Wrap?
All you need to shrink wrap is

Shrink material which comes either as rolls of film or shrink bags
Hand impulse sealer (w/round wire), and
Heat gun

How Do I Shrink Wrap?

Insert your product between the fold of film or into a shrink bag
Using your sealer, cut off excess film and seal the ends of your film closed
Shrink the film on all sides using a heat gun

How Do I Determine the Right Film?

Measure the width and height of your product and add 5-10% to the measurement. This provides you with your minimum shrink bag width.
Measure the length and height of your product and add 5-10% to the measurement. This provides you with your minimum shrink bag length.
For shrink film (usually sold as centerfold film), take the smallest figure of the two to determine the shrink film size needed.
If the size you needs is not available, a larger size can be used because shrink films will shrink up to 40% in all directions

Need to Shrink Wrap Faster?
If you are looking to shrink fast your product even faster, we have L-bar sealers which cut and seals two sides of the film in one motion.

YC-300HL – 12″ x 18″
YC-450HL – 18″ x 18″
YC-600HL – 24″ x 32″

We also carry self-contained L-Bar Sealers

W-350L – 14″ x 20″
W-500L – 20″ x 26″

For faster shrinking, we carry a shrink tunnel, CN-4520

If you are unsure what you need, please give one of our distributors a call and they can help determine the correct equipment for your needs.

Nozzle (Snorkel) Vacuum Sealers

Posted on 04/12/2012 | 1 comment

Nozzle vacuum sealers are the most versatile among the three types of vacuum sealers we carry. Nozzle-style vacuum sealers suit nearly every application: for your home, manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, etc. Nozzle style vacuum sealers are easy to use and easy to clean. Because there is no chamber, nozzle vacuum sealers can seal virtually any type of product, especially large or bulky items.

Bag Type: Standard

Process: Air is extracted by means of a retractable nozzle which is placed in between the vacuum pouch. Bag conforms around product as air is extracted

Pros

Fast and light vacuum

Best for fresh vegetables and other “crushable items”

Best for liquids and/or grains

Gas flush option allowing perishable items to be sealed

Cons

External compressor may be required (our SINBO household vacuum sealer does not require an external compressor)
