Trends and tips for specifying induction sealing equipment

2. Anti-counterfeiting and tamper evidence still drive improvements. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are most concerned with counterfeiting. So their seals are getting more sophisticated, with graphics and holograms to indicate tampering and/or counterfeiting.

3. Prices on user-friendly seals will come down. There are some newer induction seals that are easier to remove, due to an added tab; this is growing in popularity.
