It is important to know that your heat sealer is performing as it should be. A poor seal can lead to compromises in the sterility of the contents you are sealing. It is for this reason that we recommend regular testing of your sealed pouches.

In addition to producing high-quality heat sealers, Hawo also manufactures several different types of test systems for checking the integrity of your heat-sealed pouches. The Seal Check, Ink Test, and Ink Test PRO EU are three ways of checking the quality of a seal. Furthermore, users can combine one or more of the options below with a periodic pouch destruction test which can be carried out by one of our in-house, Hawo trained engineers.

Hawo InkTest MAX

The hawo InkTest MAX series offers a simple and reliable way to carry out routine seal seam integrity checks on sealable bags and pouches. Based on dye penetration testing according to EN ISO 11607-1 and ASTM F1929-23, the system uses a disposable 4 ml cartridge that is inserted directly into the pouch before sealing. Once opened, the test liquid spreads evenly across all four sealing seams, helping users quickly identify channels, leaks or other seal irregularities in a single step.

The range is available in two versions to suit different packaging materials. hawo InkTest MAX blue is recommended for film and paper pouches, while hawo InkTest MAX PLUS red is designed for PP fleece, PP nonwoven and uncoated polyolefin materials such as Tyvek®. With no need for pipettes or additional equipment, the InkTest MAX system helps make seal integrity testing cleaner, safer and easier to perform in everyday use. Each packaging unit contains 40 disposable cartridges.

Hawo Seal Check

The Seal Check by Hawo consists of 250 sheets of special indicator paper. The paper is dark in colour and has a unique grain to it. This means that when sealed within a paper/film pouch, any creases or gaps in the seal are clearly visible. The Seal Check can be used for routinely checking the integrity of pouches produced and can be kept for your records.

The Hawo Seal Check is available in two versions:

Seal Check Med is the most popular Seal Check and is used for standard paper/film pouches. Seal Check HDPE is suitable for Tyvek® (HDPE) paper/film pouches and also for transparent pouches.

Both types of Seal Checks are 175mm in length and consist of 250 sheets. Results can be compared to the reference card available in the Downloads section below.
