 Term:
A packaging technique that involves the heat
seal of a rigid preformed outer shell that
contains the product, to an adhesive-coated
card.
Benefits:
The card permits the use of advanced
graphics and j-hook retail display.
Preformed plastic shells offer a rigid
structure to protect contents that otherwise
might break or bend. The transparency of the
shell permits direct product display.
Blister paks are considered tamper evident.
Term:
Clam-shell sealing normally refers to the
use of a preformed polymer shell, sometimes
hinged, that is designed to match the shape
and size of the object when front shell and
back shell are fitted to each other.
Clam-shells can be closed by heat sealing or
pressure-snap fit
Benefits:
Closure of the clam-shell does not require
special machinery or equipment. Many
clam-shells are closed with a pressure-fit
that can be accomplished by hand or with
small tools. Clam-shell closures are
generally custom-designed for each product
and can be re-closed and re-opened if
closure is accomplished with pressure-fit.
Pressure-fit closures can be made tamper
evident if the closure is additionally
sealed with an adhesive label of some kind
Term:
Liquid
filling is the mechanical means of inserting
liquids into preformed plastic or glass
containers. These containers can be labeled
or silk-screened for identification and
presentation. Container sealing can be
accomplished through pressure,
self-adhering, or heat-fused seals.
Benefits:
Liquid filling allows retail presentation of
liquids, cremes, lotions, and similar
materials in smaller unitized and more
convenient portions.
Term:
Over-wrapping is a high-speed pouching
operation that uses bulk-roll film that is
formed around the product and sealed in
process. Over-wrapping form and filling
operations can be vertical or horizontal.
Vertical over-wrapping is generally used
when pouch-filling uses a gravity-drop.
Horizontal over-wrapping is typically used
when the product is best placed on the film.
Benefits:
Over-wrapping offers high production volumes
and lower cost clear polymer-film
enclosures. Films can be preprinted and
multi-layered. Films can be structured to
permit adhesive or "zippered" reclosure
after use.
Term: Bagging is a packaging
technique wherein a product is inserted into
a preformed, perhaps preprinted, bag and the
bag is sealed through the application of
heat fusion.
Benefits: The bag permits graphics
and, with zipper or other closure devices,
permits opening and resealing by the
consumer. A header designed bag also permits
j-hook retail display and transparent
presentation to the consumer
 Term:
Radio-frequency sealing bonds two
like-material polymer surfaces to each
other. Radio-frequency waves are used to
interlock the molecular structures of these
two like-material surfaces.
Benefits:
Radio-frequency bonding provides a fusion
seal that is extremely rugged and is ideal
for containing and displaying larger
objects. This bonding procedure is normally
used with clear polymer display shells.
Removal of the object from these shells
typically requires the consumer to cut
through the shell away from the seal line,
destroying the container in the opening
process.
Term:
Shrink wrapping is a packaging technique
wherein an object is surrounded by
shrinkable film and then sent through a
heated tunnel that causes the film to
shrink, conforming to the shape of the
product or binding the product to a card
backing.
Benefits:
Shrink wrapping is typically used to band
two products together or to seal to existing
box presentation, shrink wrapping provides a
finishing gloss over the product giving it a
richer appearance and offers tamper
evidence.
Term: Skin packaging is a
packaging technique wherein a film is sucked
down over a product and onto a preprinted
"skin card". As heat is applied the adhesive
coating of the card and the Surlyn film
adhere together.
Benefits: Skin packaging
the card permits advanced graphics and
j-hook retail display. The skin is
transparent for direct display. This process
is ideal for products that themselves have a
rigid structure. Tamper evident.
