In the industrial sector, heat sealers play a crucial role in packaging and sealing products. Cheap Chinese sealers may seem like an attractive option due to their low prices, but they often lack the quality and durability needed for long-term industrial use. MEC is a brand of heat sealers that has been trusted internationally by the packaging industry for over 30 years.
In this post, we will explore why MEC heat sealers are a superior option to cheap Chinese sealers.
MEC sealers are Quality Manufactured Industrial Grade Sealing Machines
MEC heat sealers and components are manufactured in ISO9001 factories, ensuring that they meet strict quality control standards. The build quality is designed for the US and European markets. All aspects of the build quality, from the thickness of the body work, the size of the transformers, the raw materials used and the quality of the electronics on the control boards is far superior to other brands.
This not only means better performance but also that MEC sealers are built to last and are less likely to break down, saving you money in the long run. Cheap Chinese sealers, on the other hand, are often made with lower quality materials, poor electronics and almost never manufactured to the same standards.
MEC heat sealers are industrial-grade machines, designed for heavy use in commercial and industrial applications. They are built to withstand frequent use and can handle a variety of sealing tasks. Cheap Chinese sealers may be cheaper initially, but they often lack the durability needed for industrial use.
MEC Offers the Widest Choice of Sealers

They also offer sealers with built-in trimmer blades for use with tubing plastic and other specialist sealers designed for PP,BOPP and foil. This versatility allows you to choose the best sealer for your specific needs. Cheap Chinese sealers often have limited options and may not be suitable for all applications.
