Seal integrity refers to the ability of a package to maintain its seal, preventing leaks, contamination, and spoilage. It is a critical aspect of packaging that ensures the product inside remains safe, secure, and in optimal condition throughout its shelf life. 

Ensuring seal integrity is vital for several reasons:

• Product Safety: A compromised seal can lead to contamination, putting consumers at risk.
• Quality Assurance: Properly sealed packages maintain the freshness and quality of the product.
• Compliance: Many industries, especially food and pharmaceuticals, require strict adherence to seal integrity standards to meet regulatory requirements.

There are various benefits resulting from a quality seal integrity system. Some of these include:

• Enhanced Product Safety: Regular testing ensures that the packaging is secure and free from leaks, reducing the risk of contamination.
• Cost Efficiency: Detecting seal issues early prevents costly product recalls and wastage.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meeting industry standards for seal integrity can help avoid legal issues and maintain consumer trust.

Seal integrity testing is crucial in several industries, including:

• Pharmaceuticals: To ensure that drugs are free from contamination and remain effective until the expiration date.
• Food & Beverage: To maintain freshness, prevent spoilage, and comply with food safety standards.
• Medical Devices: To ensure sterility and functionality, critical for patient safety.
• Consumer Goods: To protect products from damage during transportation and storage.
