  • Postal Correspondence

An additional benefit of using a scale is that you have a record of the exact weight of a package when it was sealed. That information comes in handy if a customer complains of a package with missing items and when auditing your shipping charges.

Un autre avantage de la balance est le fait qu'elle enregistre le poids exact des colis au moment où ils ont été scellés. Voilà qui est pratique lorsqu'un client signale des articles manquants, ou lorsque vous vérifiez vos frais d'expédition.

In the pickle industry, salt is used as brine to which fresh cucumbers are added. A selective fermentation then proceeds which is governed by salt concentration. Cost and time are dictating a movement toward "fresh-pack" pickles, in which salt and spices are added with the fresh cucumber, the jar is sealed, and the whole package is heated for pasteurization preservation.

Shrink-wrap license.- In the computer industry the terms of the software license are usually printed clearly on a sticky seal or are readable on the box, which is covered with a “shrink-wrap” film. Within the box are the disks and manuals and there is usually a notice that says that if you need to return the software the packages must be unopened with the shrink-wrap intact and that software with broken seals will not be reed.

Record 14 1993-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
CONT

Magnetic sealing is used where heavy polyolefin package members are to be sealed. A gasket, shaped to fit between the sealing faces of the two package members, is made from the same thermoplastic as the package, but has milled into it an iron-containing compound that has a high hysteresis loss. The package portions are pressed together with the gasket between their sealing surfaces and placed in a magnetic field oscillating at a frequency high enough to melt the gasket. This in turn melts the sealing surfaces and causes them to weld together. As an alternative to a gasket, an iron-containing material can be preapplied to one or both of the sealing surfaces, producing the same result.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'emballage
DEF

Méthode de scellage des emballages de polyoléfine faisant usage d'un joint de même nature que l'emballage, que l'on introduit entre les surfaces à sceller. Ces dernières sont ensuite pressées, de même que le joint, et placées à l'intérieur d'un champ magnétique à haute fréquence qui fait fondre le joint. À leur tour, les surfaces à sceller se fusionnent sous l'action du joint.

OBS

Le scellage ou thermoscellage se distingue du soudage ou thermosoudage en ce qu'il fait appel à un enduit pour imprégner les surfaces à coller.

Record 15 1993-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
CONT

Hot melt sealing : In this sealing method, either a continuous strip or dots of molten thermoplastic material is applied between the two surfaces to be sealed, just before they are pressed together. The hot melt contains sufficient heat to cause it to adhere to the package members to be sealed together, and the package members have the heat absorbing capacity to chill the seal before pressure is relieved.

OBS

This method is useful where directly applied heat might damage the packaging materials to be sealed together, or where a second pressure-cooling step might otherwise be required. Hot melts can also supply special interfacial properties, such as peelability.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'emballage
CONT

Scellage par colle thermofusible. On dépose sur les surfaces à sceller un thermoplastique fondu, sous forme de points ou en lignes continues et on presse les surfaces l'une contre l'autre. La quantité de chaleur emmagasinée dans la colle est suffisante pour effectuer le scellage. L'absorption de chaleur par les surfaces permet le refroidissement.
