It\u2019s a cost effective way to package products because it requires no extra material to close the bag opening, just some equipment and the right heat sealable poly bags. Let\u2019s explore what types of poly bags are ideal for heat sealing, and how to heat seal your own poly bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Heat Seal Poly Bags?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat seal poly bags are plastic bags that can be closed using a heat applicator, which fuses the material together to create a complete seal. Materials for heat seal poly bags can be separate pieces that are heat sealed together to establish the edges, or as a layflat tube, which is cut and sealed for products of different heights.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 Advantages of Heat Seal Poly Bags<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat seal poly bags are a great cost and time-saving solution to packaging for many manufacturing applications. Some advantages of heat sealing include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective seal on bags of virtually any size<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watertight and airtight seal keeps out debris and moisture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durable seal protects products during transit and handling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean, finished edge also displays contents in an attractive way<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Heat Seal Poly Bags<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost any type of poly bags can be heat sealed, including polythene, polyethylene, and polypropylene bags.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-density polyethylene, in particular, is ideal for making heat seal poly bags. This lightweight material melts at 320 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it can be heated, fused, and cooled quickly after the heating element is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Heat Seal Poly Bags<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To heat seal your own poly bags, you\u2019ll need to start with the right materials and tools. Order custom poly bags from a reputable supplier and make sure they\u2019re compatible with the heat sealing method you plan to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heat guns<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be used to create an airtight seal on shrink wrap film for produce, parts, and other items.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Impulse heat sealers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apply heat and pressure to the poly bag for just a few seconds using an element wire.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feed your poly bags into your heat sealing machine, and set the timer appropriately for the density of the material you\u2019re using.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heat sealer melts the material until it co-mingles together, then sets it into a single, neat seam of plastic. As it cools, the poly material will contract, tightening the seal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some heat sealing machines come with attached cutters, which trim the material close to the seal for an attractive finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your facility must accommodate a high volume of heat sealing, consider investing in an industrial heat sealer, which can handle a variety of poly material types and different bag sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Order Heat Seal Poly Bags<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for heat sealable poly bags? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polybags.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to the team at A-Pac Manufacturing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
