More than 32 years of production sealing means most common materials are already in our experience base. For new substrates, proprietary constructions, or unfamiliar laminates, a seal evaluation gives you verified results before any purchase commitment.
If your material is on the list below, you likely do not need an evaluation — contact us to confirm and move directly to discussing a system.
Packet Welding™ has been used to seal a broad range of thermoplastic materials across industries and applications over more than 32 years. The list below represents materials with established sealing parameters — materials we have sealed repeatedly, across production environments, without sealing tape.
Where your material is new to us — a novel substrate, a proprietary blend, a hybrid laminate, or a construction we have not encountered — an evaluation is the right step. It removes uncertainty before any commitment is made, and the cost is credited toward your system purchase.
Established Material Capability
The following materials have been sealed using Novaseal® Packet Welding™ equipment — without sealing tape — across production applications.
Application Insight
Seal evaluation is not limited to establishing application-specific Packet Welding™ settings. Examination of the completed seam can also identify opportunities to improve seam geometry, eliminate secondary operations, and enhance finished-product performance.
During one recent evaluation, a Packet-Welded offset overlap enclosed both reinforced cut edges within the sealed area. This eliminated the exposed reinforcement-thread wicking pathways left by a conventional overlap and removed the need for welding tape applied solely to cover those edges.
Evaluation Deliverables, Pricing & Submission
Every seal evaluation produces a complete set of results — regardless of material or complexity. These deliverables give you everything needed to make a confident decision before any purchase commitment is made.
01
Documented seal strength, consistency, and performance data — the factual record of what Packet Welding™ produced on your material.
02
Footage of test seals being made on your actual material — showing seal quality, consistency, and process behavior.
03
Recommended Novaseal® system configuration based on your material, seam requirements, and production context.
04
Test results translated into a production-ready system specification — configured to meet your cycle time, output volume, and seam length requirements.
Evaluation Fee
$300 per material
Covers our cost of testing, seam evaluation, and application-engineering recommendations. Credited in full toward the purchase of a Novaseal® system.
Extended Testing

Prior to shipping, please submit your contact information and shipping tracking number through our Contact Form — select or note "Seal Evaluation" in your message.
Submitting a material for evaluation is how most Novaseal® relationships begin. If you have questions about your material, application, or production requirements before you ship — we're happy to talk it through first.
