Overheated or Burned Seal
An Overheated or Burned Seal result on a container is when the liner shows signs of discoloration,
deterioration, and/or wrinkling. The inside of the closure may show signs of melting, and on a 2-
piece liner the backing material may be discolored or burned, depending upon the severity of the
overheating.
A burned smell often accompanies overheating and may possibly affect the smell or taste of your
product and may be the only indication of overheating.
NOTE: When overheating of the liner occurs, ignition of the liner and/or container contents is
possible.
