  • 1.  Testing Recommendation

    Posted 02-10-2025 06:20 PM

    Hello All,  

    I need to perform package integrity testing on a foil pouch that has jelly in it as a part of a supplier change notification. They are unable to provide empty pouches at this time. We have a bubble leak test setup and we typically perform that as a part of our package integrity testing. The only idea I can think of is physically getting the jelly out by making an incision and bubble leaking the sample, is there a better way to do this ? 

    Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Madhumitha:

    I would recommend using a non destructive test method such as the Inficon Contra S-Series.  This will allow you to test the filled packages.  

    We use this machine regularly for determining seal hermeticity and I highly recommend it.

    Possible try putting your test pouch inside a clear pouch with great seals?
