**03/02/20 Update:  Natural Products Expo West has been postponed until further notice given the COVID-19 situation.  You can read more here.**

We will be exhibiting at the upcoming Natural Products Expo West March 5-7, 2020 at the Anaheim Convention Center.  We are the sealing experts so stop by our booth #9301 and see the sealers we recommend for your packaging needs.

We can offer both flexible packaging as well as heat sealing equipment for your packaging needs.  We have a variety of flexible packaging options available – remember that foil bags will have the best barrier for preventing oxidation.

• Stand up pouches are our most popular bag; these bags have a bottom gusset which can allow the pouches to stand upright.  Our stand up pouches have a resealable zipper allowing your customer to reseal the bag once opened.  We have an incredible selection available.
• Foil gusseted bags are popular for the coffee industry and will stand upright when filled.  The bags have side gussets which can expand allowing you to package larger items.
• Enjoy the best of both worlds with our new square bottom gusseted bags. Now you can get the advantages of a traditional bag along with those of a stand-up pouch. Our square bottom gusseted bags allow even the lowest density product to sit narrow and sturdy on the shelves without ever worrying about tipping over.
• If simple and inexpensive is what you are looking for, then look no further.  Flat pouches also known as pillow packs are widely used in coffee and food industry.

Once the pouch has been selected, the pouches must then be filled with your product and heat sealed to prevent the bags from being tampered with.  To seal your bags, we offer a variety of heat sealing equipment that can meet your needs.  Whether you are just starting your production and looking for basic and affordable units or faster production volumes with the option to print a date code or expiration date on the seal line.

Remember that if you choose a gusseted bag, a single element sealer such as your typical hand impulse sealer cannot properly seal through all four layers of the gusseted bag.  Do not use a hand or foot or automatic sealer, not even a 5mm sealer. We recommend using a direct heat (constant heat) type of sealer.  Direct heat sealers will maintain constant heat in both jaws.

With its sleek and compact design, the WNS-200D is great for smaller work spaces.   Our WNS-200D is equipped with a digital timer which creates a consistent and reliable seal each time –  the sealing arm is easily activated and will not result in operator fatigue.

If you already have your bags and need a heat sealer option, we can test your bags on our sealers and send the samples back to you along with a video demo.  Just contact us!
