heat sealing

http://www.audion.nl/page.asp?id=7 Not all materials can be sealed. A good seal depends on the melting point of certain materials. Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) up to 200 micron thick are perfectly suitable for sealing. The sealing suitability of laminates (multi layer material) depends on the inner or contact layer. Aluminum laminates and paper laminates can be sealed when the inside layer is polyethylene or similar heat sealable coating. Ensure you purchase the correct sealing machine for your packaging material.

If you need irregular and long seal lenght the best is to use Continuous Rotary Sealer [[Continuous Rotary Sealer]]. http://www.dougcare.com/packagingequipment/graphics/802hwlg.jpg
