How to Test a Bag Seal Before Ordering a Machine

Approve the bag, the machine and the process together. Define acceptable results before testing. A neat seam in a demo video is useful for seeing the operation, but it does not establish your required seal strength, leak resistance or throughput.

Supply representative bags and a target seam

Send the exact production material and any worst-case folds or contents conditions. Mark the required seal location, length, width and target appearance. Share the destination electrical requirements, intended throughput and packaging constraints. Ask for the precise model and configuration used in the trial.

Separate the tests and the decision

Record the settings, operator method, cooling conditions and the number of specimens. A visual check helps find damage or incomplete contact; a strength test and a leak test answer different questions. ASTM F88/F88M concerns seal strength, while F2096 addresses gross leaks for suitable packages. A qualified lab or your quality team should choose methods and acceptance limits for the application.

Make the quote match the approved sample

Compare samples from the start and later in the run, and check ends and folds. Ask the supplier to identify any limitations and list the exact configured model, supply voltage and included components on the quote. Request sample availability separately from wholesale terms; for ROS, confirm current order requirements with FABLE.
