heat-sealed

Melted edges together

Heat-sealed describes something closed or bonded by applying heat to melt materials together, typically plastic or coated surfaces.

The process creates an airtight seal without adhesives: heat-sealed packaging, heat-sealed bags.

Food products, medical supplies, and electronics often come in heat-sealed containers to preserve freshness or prevent tampering.
