Peelability and the overall width of the seal seam are decisive parameters in the packaging of medical products and in the area of food packaging. In accordance with DIN EN ISO 868-5 Annex E, these properties are standardized and measured to ensure the quality and reliability of packaging materials.
Peel strength and total width of the seal seam in accordance with DIN EN 868-5, Annex E
Peelability refers to the ability of a packaging seam to open under controlled conditions without tearing or breaking. This is of crucial importance for products that need to be easily accessible, such as medical products, pharmaceuticals, etc.
DIN EN ISO 868-5 defines clear test procedures to measure the peelability and ensure that it meets the requirements.
Another important parameter is the total width of the sealing seam, which indicates the width of the seal between the packaging materials. An adequate width is required to ensure a secure and durable seal that prevents contamination and the ingress of air, moisture or other harmful substances. The standard specifies precise measurement methods to determine the overall width of the seal seam and ensure that it meets the required standards.
Compliance with DIN EN ISO 868-5 Annex E is of great importance for companies in the medical device industry, as it ensures that their products meet the highest quality standards and ensure patient safety. Precise measurement and evaluation of the peelability and overall width of the seal seam enables manufacturers to provide medical products with optimum packaging performance characteristics.
Peelability and the overall width of the seal seam are fundamental parameters for ensuring the quality and reliability of medical device packaging materials.
By complying with this standard, companies can ensure that their products meet the highest standards and requirements in terms of patient safety, durability and user-friendliness.
