Following the standardized installation process can ensure you get 99.9% sealing success rate in mass production lines, no extra rework required.

1. Wipe the octagonal container rim with a dust-free cloth to remove residual grease, powder or floating particles that may damage seal adhesion
2. Align 4 of the 8 edges of the octagon seal perfectly with the corresponding rim positioning marks, to avoid offset that leaves partial gaps
3. Apply 25-35N even pressure on the container lid for 3 continuous seconds, to make the full surface of the octagon seal attach firmly to the container rim
