After proper heating and cooling techniques have been performed to create a hermetic seal, the button in the middle of the caps will depress, indicating the jar has been sealed.

Packaging Tip

There are many ways to bring food product packaging to the next level. One example is tamper evident packaging. When packaging food products, offering a layer of tamper evidence in the form of shrink bands, induction liners, or plastisol lined caps can provide a higher level of security and comfort for customers. It’s also important to make FDA approved packaging choices for food product lines. FDA approved packaging often gives customers peace of mind when purchasing, which could elevate you above competitors. Incorporating convenient dispensing caps is another excellent way to win customers over. If you are packaging salad dressing, cooking sauces, marinades, honey, and more, dispensing caps allow customers to pour products with ease. Finally, after choosing the container that best showcases your product, create an eye-catching custom label to elevate your food packaging to a professional level. Custom labeling is an easy way to display your ingredients, food allergy warnings, nutritional facts, and more while blending in your company logo and branding for the greatest design impact.
