Details
Because FFS relies on the continuity of forming, filling, and sealing, the film specification, the sealing parameters, and integrity control matter to product protection. Inspections cite inadequate treatment of worst cases at start-up, stoppage, splices, and roll changes, and insufficient seal inspection and trending of critical process parameters. Look at material specifications, equipment and process validation, seal integrity testing, batch records, and deviations.
