How to determine the appropriate closure solution for the application?

Consider presentation and linking functionality together

In confectionery, chocolate, gift and decorative packaging, the clip is both a connecting point and a visible packaging detail. The circumference of the bonded area, the cutting length and the position of the bent ends are as important as the coating type and color. It should not be assumed that the same tie will give the same appearance in different package sizes.

Paper and foil covered clips single-wire options with; It is evaluated based on the surface of the product, the material of the package and the application conditions. Coating appearance alone does not describe the durability of the product or its suitability for a particular contact. Specify in the request whether the bond will contact the packaging, the label, or directly the product.

Different details for three usage styles

Confectionery and small food packages

The size of the assembled bag mouth and the allowance required for twisting form the basis of the cutting length. Tips that are too long in a small package can affect presentation; A short bond may make implementation difficult for the operator. If a use that comes into contact with the product is planned, describe the material and documentation expectations separately.

Gift and decorative packaging

Demonstrate whether the clip will be used with ribbon, tags, or wrapping paper. Examine the sample not only for color, but also for post-closing posture and opening movement. If more than one component is collected at the same point, take the total thickness as the basis.

Flower and presentation arrangements

Share mount point, surface and environmental conditions. Although the external appearance remains the same for paper and foil-covered products, the twist and contact pattern may change during application. If moisture or open environment is involved, clearly state expected usage time and conditions; Do not accept special strength features based on appearance alone.

The screenshot gives an idea; the final look needs to be considered along with the physical material and print. In a printed design, also check the area that remains visible after the tie is bent. When sharing a design file, specify which section is expected to remain at the front.

What results should you record on the sample?

  1. Seal with actual packaging and save the selected size.
  2. Inspect the coating for significant separation or surface marks during bonding.
  3. Photograph the position of the tips and the view facing the user.
  4. Try the intended opening format; If re-closing is desired, consider that as well.
  5. If there are different package sizes, note the suitability for each separately.

These records make it easier for you to describe the same look and application on subsequent orders. Reconsider clip size whenever a customer changes packaging or a new label is added.

Clarify production demand

Share the product family, cutting length, coating, color and printing file, if any. Specify the quantity in pieces or metres; If there is seasonal demand and distribution of different designs, add it. Special production process with color, printing and cutting guidedescribes the information to be prepared before the sample.
