Heat Sealing Q&A

Asked June 25th, 2009
There are several companies that can provide premade header bags, but not many that build header bag making equipment.
Header bags are made in various designs; the common feature is that they have a section that is made of a breathable material. This breathable porous section provides for sterilization of the contents with ethylene oxide gas (EtO). Invariably, the physical nature of the material used in the porous section is different than that of the clear plastic film used for the basic bag. The web of composite material used to make header bags can be difficult to control as it passes through the manufacturing process. A Canadian machine builder, GN Packaging, may be able to build a machine that will suit your needs. A list of premade bag suppliers can be found in the PMP News Buyers Guide.
