regulations
5.1.
Width of sealed seams and clear space ________________________________________
German Standard DIN 58953 Part 7 requires that
sealed seams in transparent packaging material
should have a width of at least 8 mm. With a width of
10 mm for its sealed seams, the MELA
seal

considerably better than this minimum requirement.
DIN 58953 Part 7 specifies that a clear space of at
least 30 mm be left below the sealing border
between the sterilisation goods and the seam in
order to ensure a perfect seal without wrinkles. This
applies both for bags and transparent material from
the roll.
