General Questions

What is skin packaging and how does it work?

  • The skin packaging is a process in which heated film is draped over a product and onto a substrate, and a vacuum is utilized to draw the film down onto the package, creating a secure and attractive package.
  • The skin package consists of: skin film, a heat activated coating on the film or the substrate, and a subtrate, either paperboard or corrugated.
  • Heat Seal's Ampak division manufactures skin packaging machines Thrifty Pack, Shipmate, and the Master.
  • To finish the process, die cut machines are often used to create an attractive package to display or transport.  Ampak also manufactures automatic and semi-automatic die cutters: Rotomatic and Rotocut.

What are the benefits of skin packaging?

Skin Packaging:
  • Provides lock down product protection
  • Provides full product visibility
  • Contours to the shape of the product
  • Secures loose products to the board, preventing lost kit parts
  • Is great for hanging hook displays
  • Reduces the need for protective packaging fillers, thus making it an economical packaging option

Application Data

Your Heat Seal sales rep may require an application data sheet and product samples for certain applications.  Please contact your Heat Seal rep for questions or concerns.

 

Troubleshooting

The film is not adhering to the substrate

  • If using adhesive treated film, make sure the film is threaded with the adhesive coating facing the product and the substrate.
  • If using adhesive backed card, make sure the adhesive is facing up.  
  • Make sure the film is heated so that it falls below the film frame about 1" before being drawn onto the film.
  • If these do not work, contact your local Heat Seal distributor, or film supplier.

How do I get rid of wrinkles on the final package?

  • Wrinkles, or excess film, is often caused because the film was heated for too long.  
  • Depending on the height of the product off of the substrate, the film should heat until it is approximately 1 inch below the flim frame before being drawn down on the product.
