Prevent product leakage with the right liner type

prevent-product-leakage-with-the-right-liner-typeEveryone has nightmares. Some people dream about being chased down by monsters others are more terrified by a delusion where they are forced to recite a speech. Packagers are tormented by leaking and contaminated product hallucinations. Put a liner to work and catch up on all the rest you've been missing. Liners are utilized in a variety of ways. For instance, no one wants dust or hair to be included in their finished product. Gross. A liner serves as a protector that assists in keeping container contents free of unwanted particles. No liner is guaranteed spill proof, due to the variance of the product stowed. It's like asking if oil is good for a car's engine. The answer is yes, but with knowledge of the engine's brand or style a better specified solution could be determined. The same case goes for liners. A plethora of liner styles exist to make packaging more functional according to its use. Find out how <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=f217>F217</a>, <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=ps>PS</a>, <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=his>HIS</a> and <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=plastisol>Plastisol</a> liners can enhance your product line. <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=f217>F217</a><a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=f217> liners</a> are comprised of three layers. A thin piece of low density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic, followed by a polyethylene foam center, covered with another sheet of LDPE. This type of liner is meant for use in <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/closureology2.asp>non-dispensing closures</a>. Placed inside a lid, the liner will remain stationary through multiple uses, acting as a boundary between the top of the closure and the product. F217 liners are impervious to odor and taste, making them a favorable option for low-grade chemical solutions. <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=ps>Pressure sensitive (PS) liners</a> are made from polystyrene foam encircled with microscopic, pressure sensitive adhesive droplets, engineered to burst with a hint of closure implied force. PS liners are inserted into closures and only applied to a container once prepared for final packaging. Bottle or jar rim's (or landings) must be clean or those nightmares may return, as even the slightest granule can turn your productive afternoon of sealing into an epic failure. Twenty four hours is needed for the liner to fully cling to the container. After, the closure can be removed to reveal the PS liner covering the orifice, in all its tamper-evident glory. This coverage assures customers that they are the first to partake of the item's contents. PS liners are only capable of single use and should be disposed of after being removed from the container. <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=his>Heat Induction Seal (HIS) liners</a> consist of a metallic (usually aluminum foil) disc and plastic film. Unlike the two liners discussed earlier, this style cannot be installed manually. Special sealing equipment is required to apply necessary heat to the liner and cap. Once applied, the HIS appearance is similar to that of a PS liner, only metallic instead of foam, and functions the same way as well. This strongly bound seal assures producers and customers alike that the contents will not only go undisturbed, but be preserved, slightly extending the shelf life of the product. <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/sitesearch.asp?search=plastisol>Plastisol liners</a> don't exist in a tangible form like the others we've discussed. Metal lids designed to be used in canning are often enhanced by the addition of a PVC gasket, encircling the landing-contact area, creating a plastisol lined lid. Meant for use with glass containers, this type of closure is capable of creating a vacuum seal. Read our post <a href=http://blog.containerandpackaging.com/2010/08/plastisol-liners-sound-of-safety.html>Plastisol Liners: The Sound of Safety</a> for a descriptive breakdown of the liner's tamper-evident feature and functional uses. Liners are meant to complement and strengthen the specific goal of any packaging situation. Whether your line is in need of a tamper-evident feature or a top-of-the-line safety vacuum seal, finding the right liner can literally change your product's packaging potential.
