What is an Innoseal® Sealer?

The Innoseal® Sealer is mostly a tool to help close you bags. But is also well suited for bundling all kinds of materials, think about cables or ropes. Recognizable from a distance because of the combination of paper and tape, and its modern look. Furthermore, the Sealers are made of high quality materials which are impact resistant. Every unique Sealer has his own color. As of now available in the colors; white, grey, black and neutral.

What is Innoseal® Refill?

The Innoseal® Refill consists of one roll of tape (No-PVC) and one roll of paper (= 1 set) . Unlike other similar solutions, Innoseal makes bag closing easier, and the seal is reusable. You can open and close your bag whenever ou want without knives or scissors involved; just follow the instructions on the paper tabs “Twist & Pull”. To reclose your bag, twist the neck of the bag, place the seal in the center, and attach it to the neck; stick the tabs together to enjoy the contents at your convenience. The paper is available in 7 colors, and making it very useful for color-coding. The Innoseal® Refill is designed to be a perfect combination with the Innoseal® Sealer and guarantees an optimal use.

How can I recognize an Innoseal® closure?

You can recognize an Innoseal® closure because of the combination of tape and paper. The paper is attached to the ends of the tape to get more grip and open the seal easily. The paper is printed with the instructions to open the bag; ‘Twist and Pull’.

What are the benefits of an Innoseal® closure?

The Innoseal closure has many benefits on alternative bag closing systems. The most important are;
– Easy to open
– Tamper evident
– Reclose able
– Air tight
– Food-safe
For all the advantages of the Innoseal® seal, take a look at the benefits on the website.

What is the difference between an L-Sealer and a Standard Sealer?

In terms of quality, there is no difference between the two types of Sealers.

There are two main differences between an L-Sealer and a Standard Sealer. The slot of an L-Sealer is 12 mm, allowing you to seal any type of bag, even those made of thicker material; the seal tabs are slightly longer, which means fewer closures available in a set of Refill, but better grip for all your customers. You can choose an L-Sealer in either gray or red variant, both with a transparent door.

Standard Sealers are slightly smaller than L-Sealers, their slot is 6 mm, and you can choose from four different types: Classic Sealer (entirely white), Clear Sealer (with a transparent door), RE-Sealer (black base, made of 100% recycled materials, with transparent lid), and All-over Black Sealer (entirely black, with a structure made of recycled materials).

 

How many closures can I make with one set of Refill?

Using one of our Standard Sealers (Classic, Clear, RE-Sealer, All-over black) you have around 850* closures, with a L-Sealer the possible closures are around 700*.

*Depending on several factors. The dimension of the Sealer and the thickness of the bag, among other things, play a major role in this.

What are the differences between the Innoseal® Refill 84 Sets and the Innoseal® Refill 28 sets?

You can order both the Innoseal Refill 84 set and 28 set in the Multicolor and Unicolor options. If you opt for the Multicolor option, you will receive all 7 colors (black, blue, brown, green, orange, red, and yellow), which will help you organize your products and have better control over FIFO (First In First Out). With the Unicolor solution, you can choose one of the 7 available colors, perhaps the one that best aligns with the identity of your business, and make your seals recognizable everywhere.

  • The first real difference between the 28 Refill sets and the 84 Refill sets lies in quantity: the former will get you 28 Sets of Refill, which means 28 rolls of tape and 28 rolls of paper (1 set = 1 roll of tape + 1 roll of paper), for a total amount of ±23.800 closures per box. While with the 84 Refill sets, you will have a box with 84 rolls of tape and 84 rolls of paper, totaling ±71.400 closures per box. To choose the best option for you, you need to consider the number of daily closures and the available storage space, although both solutions are designed to be compact.
  • Another difference is in the price. For the box with 84 Refill sets, whether Multicolor or Unicolor, the price remains the same. For the box with 28 sets, the price changes depending on the choice between Multicolor and Unicolor options. This is due to the different packaging process. To decide which quantity is the most suitable option for you, it is important to consider the number of closures made in a day. Refills have maximum yield in the first year of use, but they are still functional even after this period.

In general, we recommend opting for the 84 Refill Sets, even for a small business, for storage management and overall costs.
Would you like advice on which option is best for you? Contact us.

Multicolor Refill Sets. How can I use them?

Having a box of Multicolor Refill Sets means having paper rolls in all the 7 available colors (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black). This allows you to have a color-coded system for:

  • Organizing products according to the days of the week;
  • Dividing products based on different types of stock, for example, meat, fish, bread, etc.;
  • HACCP (or Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points);
  • FIFO (First In First Out), meaning the first products that entered will also be the first to exit. It’s a method of categorizing perishable products, such as food items, that have an expiration date;
  • And anything else you can think of that a color can facilitate.
Which Refill Sets do I need for the L-Sealer?

The Refill Sets have one size only, so for the L-Sealer the Refill Sets are the same as those for the Standard Sealer. You can choose to order a box with 28 sets or one with 84 sets, depending on your needs and storage availability.

Can Innoseal® be customized?

Innoseal® offers different prices based on the level of customization required. Having a customized Innoseal product can occur on various levels. Our production takes place at our HQ in the Netherlands. Here we bring all the raw materials together to get as much control over our production and quality as possible.

Let’s explore the various customization possibilities:

We have an option for ‘’unicolor’’ paper (one color) from our color scheme. Useful if you want it to fit your corporate identity!

You can choose for the Inno-RE-set. This one can be written on with the supplied marker. With this, you can give your Sealer a personal design and make it unique. Think about a point of Sales or a grocery list.

How does Innoseal stand for quality?

At Innoseal quality comes first. With our innovative bag closing system we make sure you and your customers will feel qualitatively safe. All materials are specially selected to deliver the best quality. Each part is made in our own factory, so that everything can be coordinated down to the last detail. The parts are checked several times to see whether they meet the high quality requirements. Before the Sealers are sent we test them by making, at least, 10 trial closures. This includes checking whether the Sealer runs smoothly, all parts are assembled correctly, and, above all, whether the quality of the closure is good.

What makes the Innoseal Sealer in combination with the closure unique?

The Innoseal Sealer together with the closure is a unique combination and a synonym of quality. All the parts are adjusted to each other, the housing, the internal parts and the Refill. This combination provides many benefits for our Innoseal® Sealer:

  • Impact resistant
  • Time efficient
  • Easy to clean
  • Closed housing
  • Suitable for all the circumstances
  • Safe
  • Always ready for the next closure
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Stable
  • Prevents CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
  • Easy to use
  • Refillable with Innoseal Refill
  • Some lid are transparent – for a quicker view of when it is time to change the Refill
  • Can be secured to a tabletop

Why choose the Innoseal Supersize Kit instead of an L-Sealer with 84 Refills Set?

By purchasing it all at once, you save space and time, while also providing customers with the best experience possible for a long time!

What is a Service Set used for?

This Service Set is perfect for you because it always ensures the highest quality for your Sealer. In the unlikely event of a breakage or loss of any internal parts of the device, you have this Service Set available and ready in case of an emergency.

What is a Bag Cutter?

We can refer to the Innoseal Bag Cutter by using synonyms, such as Cutter Block, Knife Block, Knife, Blade.

The Innoseal Bag Cutters are created to quickly cut the material in excess of the bags after the twisted part where you have put the seal. There are two sizes of Innoseal Cutter Blocks: one for the Standard Sealers (Classic Sealer, Clear Sealer, RE-Sealer, All-over Black Sealer) and one for the L-Sealers (grey variant and the Anniversary L-Sealer in red).  Each size fits only its corresponding Sealer. The knife can be easily placed in and removed from the Innoseal Bag Closing System. Caution! The blade is extremely sharp!

What is a Bag Cutter used for?

The Innoseal Bag Cutter is used to remove excess material from the bag after it has been sealed. The Innoseal Bag Cutter can be easily positioned in the rectangular opening of the Bag Sealer. Caution: the Bag Cutter has a very sharp blade, so be careful when inserting and removing it.

Please note: There are two sizes of Bag Cutters. The Standard Bag Cutter only fits Innoseal Standard Sealers, while the L-Bag Cutter only fits Innoseal L-Sealers.
