Sealing things in their packaging is not only vital to protecting them and keeping them safe in transit, but also makes packaging. Particularly, clear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/plastic-bags_C1410.html\">poly bags<\/a>. And to make that happen, you can use a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories_C1414.html\">bag heat sealer<\/a> to close up the open end of a bag \u2013 you can even trim the \u2018spare\u2019 off to make for an even more professional job.<\/p>\n<p>In this post we shall take a look at how a bag heat sealer works, the different kinds of heat sealers available and what kinds of bags they work on. As well as looking at heat sealing machines that can automate the process for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is a bag heat sealer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A plastic bag heat sealer is a simple heater that, when pressed and applied to a thermoplastic bag, seals the bag together using a combination of pressure and melting. The two plastic parts are brought together and pressed against one another and heated. This melts the plastic, which co-mingles and, as it cools, sets into a single plastic seam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/opti-seal-heat-sealers_PDT18595.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"A plastic bag heat sealer essentially welds plastic togethe\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/opti-seal-industrial-heat-sealers_PDT18595.jpg?image=M_S420_O_A_128_U$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"A plastic bag heat sealer essentially welds plastic togethe\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is akin to welding, but with plastic. Once cooled the join is essentially one piece of solid, even plastic, contiguous to the rest of the two pieces joined together. In short, it is a water-tight sealed weld between the two.<\/p>\n<p>It can be used to join together two pieces of the same or two similar thermoplastics, such as Polythene of different grades. It Is most commonly found in packaging where it can form a water and dust-tight seal on a bag of pretty much any size.<\/p>\n<p>They typically use a heated element or bar, often covered by a protective Teflon guard, so that the melting plastic doesn\u2019t stick to the element which is pressed onto the plastic at the point where the joint is needed. It takes only a few seconds to seal, but it is a precise process. Too little time and the joint won\u2019t form, too much and the plastic will burn. So most heat sealers feature a light that comes on when the seal is done, or, on more sophisticated heat sealing machines \u2013 as we shall see \u2013 they lift off when ready.<\/p>\n<p>There are different heat sealing bag devices available . Small, portable\/desktop devices for smaller items at low volume; automated devices for sealing many individual items; and continuous heat sealers that seal continually as the item\/items run through them.<\/p>\n<p>Some also come with cutters, so that once sealed any excess plastic can be simply trimmed off, or, in the case of continuous sealers, a continuous row of items can be cut individually once sealed.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how they work, but what can they seal?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you use a heat sealer on polythene bags?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/50-micron-layflat-tubing_PDT01626.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"50 micron layflat tubing, lay-flat tubing is ideal for heat-sealing\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/50-micron-layflat-tubing_PDT01626.jpg?image=M_GAINE8A_O_A28_010$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"50 micron layflat tubing, lay-flat tubing is ideal for heat-sealing\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can use a heat sealer on a polythene bag. Most polythene bag heat sealers are used to seal poly bags. The polythene for heat-sealed packaging comes in several forms: it can be supplied as bags, which need just one end sealed; or it can come as a layflat tube, which is like an open ended bag that covers the items and needs then to be heat-sealed shut at both ends.<\/p>\n<p>Low density polyethylene, from which most bags and layflat tubing are made, is ideal for heat sealing as it melts at around 160C. This is hot enough to melt together the two sides and cool enough for it to cool and seal quickly when the heat and pressure is removed.<\/p>\n<p>An added benefit is that, as it cools, the polythene contracts and pulls the seal even tighter. This is one of the key advantages of heat sealers for poly bags.<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/layflat-tubing-dispenser-kit_PDT06645.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Layflat tubing and dispenser kit\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/layflat-tubing-and-dispenser-kit_PDT06645.jpg?image=M_GAINE8B_R_A4_117_F$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"Layflat tubing and dispenser kit\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Layflat tubing is available on rolls so that you can continuously package up goods at an industrial scale if needed. It allows the user to create the size of package they need, with the goods simply put inside, the tubing cut to length, then heat sealed. This is ideal if you have a variety of sized objects in your warehouse that need packaging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/125-micron-black-layflat-tubing_PDT210582.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"125 micron black layflat tubing\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/125-micron-black-layflat-tubing_PDT210582.jpg?image=M_GAINE8NB_O_G_128_F$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"125 micron black layflat tubing\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It also comes in black, as well as clear and recycled polythene options, with black packaging being ideal for keeping goods not only protected from light when in storage or transit, but also keeping them confidential when sent through the post.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are there machines for heat sealing plastic bags?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Machines are available for heat sealing plastic bags. One of the easiest ways to package and seal goods using layflat tubing or plastic bags is with a bag heat sealer machine. A heat sealer machine for sealing plastic bags allows you to handle medium to high volumes of goods, making for better and more efficient sealing.<\/p>\n<p>A plastic bag heat sealer machine, such as the Opti-seal industrial heat sealers,\u00a0offers a simple yet versatile operation with adjustable sealing and cooling times. The compact design of such machines means they can be conveniently placed within reach of workstations, or they can be mounted on an optional stand that also includes a film holder, and afoot pedal for hands free operation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/opti-seal-heat-sealer-spares_PDT18597.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Opti-sealer heat sealers also has a cutter\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/opti-seal-industrial-heat-sealer-spares_PDT18597.jpg?image=M_C420_O_G_128_U$default$&amp;hei=300&amp;wid=300\" alt=\"Opti-sealer heat sealers also has a cutter\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Opti-seal industrial\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines\/shrink-heat-sealer-machines\/heat-sealers_C241410.html\">heat sealers<\/a>\u00a0are impulse sealers, which means the heat is applied via the element wire for only a few seconds to seal the material together. The Opti-seal has a wide range of applications. It can seal a range of films including polythene, polypropylene and PVC with a durable 5mm seal, making this bag sealer the perfect choice for producing and sealing bags, sacks and pouches. Features a safety trimming cutter.<\/p>\n<p>Other heat sealer machines, such as the RAJA Impulse Sealer, offer reliable performance and are ideal for low volume bag sealing. Suitable for layflat tubing or bag widths up to 400 mm wide, these are also impulse sealers that apply heat via the element wire for only a second before the mechanism begins to cool the seal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/bags\/layflat-tubing-heat-sealers-accessories\/heat-sealers-cutters_PDT06673.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Impulse sealer with lay-flat tube roll makes easy work of packaging\" src=\"https:\/\/raja.scene7.com\/is\/image\/Raja\/products\/impulse-heat-sealers-with-cutters_PDT06673.jpg?image=M_PBS200C_O_A3_018_U$default$\" alt=\"Impulse sealer with lay-flat tube roll makes easy work of packaging\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Most\u00a0heat sealers\u00a0have an adjustable timer and a cutter on the sealing arm for leaving a neat finish to your bagged product. There are three sizes of heat sealer available: 200, 300 and 400mm sealing widths which produce a 2mm wide seal.
