How Can Health and Beauty Products Benefit from Induction Sealing and How Does It Work?
Whether a health and beauty product is a powder, liquid, oil, or cream, a strong and reliable seal is essential, and for a number of reasons.
The first reason is leak and spill protection. Without a proper seal, product contents can escape their containers during shipment and other stages of the material handling process. This can lead to lost product, rejected shipments, and if the product makes it to store shelves, dissatisfied customers.
An induction cap seal also ensures the longevity and quality of the product. The seal protects against oxidation, evaporation, and contamination due to intrusion of air and other substances. For example, isopropyl and rubbing alcohol will evaporate when exposed to air. An induction seal also ensures your products remain sanitary and free of germs and bacteria, which is especially important for health and skincare conscious consumers.
Induction sealers can also be used to create tamper evident seals on products. Tamper evidence ensures your end consumer will feel confident that their product is in the same condition as when it left the factory. Further, induction sealing also provides counterfeit protection so consumers will be confident regarding the authenticity of your product. This is especially important for products such as cosmetics, which are frequently counterfeited.
Pillar’s line of induction sealers, including our flagship iFoiler and the all new iFoiler+™ Induction Sealer, are the perfect solution for a sturdy induction seal that provides all these benefits. But how does the induction seal process work?
Induction sealing is a simple process that applies an electromagnetic field to a special induction seal. The induction seal has a few different parts: the backing, the foil, the barrier layer, and the heat seal. These are placed on the container inside the cap or lid. Then, the container passes through the induction sealer, where the electromagnetic field is applied. This causes the foil seal to heat up, in turn melting the heat seal, and creating the desired cap seal.
