Abstract
A method for producing a package comprising a formed part having at least one product cavity, and a lidding film covering the at least one product cavity, comprises the steps of: (a) defining a seam; (b) dividing the seam into a plurality of sections; (c) determining a pull-off force for pulling the lidding film from the formed part at least for a first section; and (d) sealing the lidding film to the formed part by means of a sealing device, wherein at least one first sealing temperature is selected for the first section based on the pull-off force determined according to step (c).
Claims17
A method for producing a package comprising a formed part having at least one product cavity, and a lidding film covering the at least one product cavity, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- (a) defining a seam to be produced, along which the lidding film is to be sealed to the formed part around the at least one product cavity;
- (b) dividing the seam to be produced into a plurality of sections, which comprise at least a first section and a second section of the plurality of sections;
- (c) determining, at least for the first section of the plurality of sections, a first pull-off force for pulling the lidding film from the formed part;
- (d) sealing the lidding film to the formed part along the seam by way of a sealing device with a first sealing temperature in the first section and a second sealing temperature in the second section, wherein the first and the second sealing temperatures are different, and wherein at least the first sealing temperature for the first section is selected based on the first pull-off force determined according to step (c).
