For many small packaging operations, a 12-inch sealing width may be sufficient. The correct choice depends on the size of your packaging and the number of packets you seal.
What is an impulse sealer?
An impulse sealer is designed to apply heat for a controlled sealing cycle. The exact operation and compatibility depend on the specific model and packaging material.
