Preforms

Preform shrink bands are commonly referred to as preforms. They are essentially shrink bands—also known as cut bands, neck bands, cap bands, cap seals, and secure seals—that are preformed to a certain shape container.

Preform shrink bands are used as a packaging technique to prevent the product from being tampered with by consumers. The advantage of using a preform is that they are designed to help you maximize your productivity while lowering your labor costs because they are very easy to apply.

Preform shrink bands offer a wide variety of benefits for a consumer. These tamper evident seals not only protect the product from being tampered with, they are very easy to apply saving a good amount of time in production.

Preform shrink bands while being the shape of the container, can be placed over the lid and then shrunk by heat to create a tamper evident seal.

Preform shrink bands provide tamper evidence for your products because they make it difficult for someone who is not authorized to open them before getting approval. These types of closures are designed so that if someone tries to open them without permission, they will break the perforation line; this alerts you that there has been an unauthorized opening attempt on your product.

A tamper-proofing shrink band is an important component in the packaging process of any product to assure consumers safety and security upon making a purchase. Tamper evident seals protect products from leaks and spills. Importantly, protecting products with secure seals is one of the main reasons why suppliers around the world choose a tamper-proof shrink band to meet their packaging needs. Preforms eliminate the labor of manually applying shrink bands and increasing productivity and lowering manufacturing costs.
