Request Information
Heat seal packaging and tray sealer machines often need to seal a variety of packaging types and sizes, increasing the demand on heat seal tooling. Heat seal tooling prototypes can be costly, especially when metal-on-metal provides less than satisfactory seals.

ISM offers both standard and custom heat seal tooling, utilizing thermally conductive silicone from United Silicone. Work with our engineers to develop precise, reliably strong, high-quality tooling that meets your application and operation parameters.
