Bag Sealers and Constant Heat Sealers
Bag Sealers have
changed the way we package our products. Before they came along, bags were sealed with less integrity and strength. Heat
Sealed products make a water proof and tamper proof seal. Bag Sealers also
help to retain freshness and longevity of a product.

Constant Heat Sealers function just as they are named, Constant Heat is used to produce the seal. These machines are very easy to use. Most only require some basic assembly, if any at all. These machines are either table top, hand held or foot pedal operated. Most plug into 120v AC, but some can be converted to 220v. According to the manufacturer, Constant Heat Sealers are best suited for ALUMINUM Bags, CELLOPHANE and THICK MYLAR.
Impulse Heat Sealers differ from Constant Heat Sealers in that they do not stay constantly heated. The heating process occurs when you press the arm or foot pedal down (depending on the style machine you have). The heating time is quite quick and varies depending on your machine. These machines require little if any assembly. Impulse Heat Sealers plug into 120v AC, but some can be converted to 220v. According to the manufacturer, Impulse Heat Sealers are best suited for KEL-F, THIN MYLAR, POLYFLEX, P.V.A., POLYETHYLENE, POLYURETHANE, POLYVINYLCHLORIDE, POLYPROPYLENE, PLIOFILM, TIVAC, SARAN and most other heat sealable materials.
