French translation:joints d'étanchéité, joints toriques et joints plats de qualité
Explanation:
Basically they are all "joints".
Drawing from Aerospace dictionaries (Gauthier-Villars and Goursau), and to make a difference you can translate as above.
An O'ring is surely a "joint torique" (round) and a gasket can be a "joint rigide", "joint métallo-plastique", "joint plat" (like the famous "joint de culasse" in cars), a "garniture de joint", a "rondelle joint", a "membrane".
A seal is a "joint d'étanchéité" (which they all are).

"joints de qualités, ....


Explanation:
Quality seals: joints de qualités, or it might be label de qualité if it is to attest to quality on a package.
O-ring= joint torique (or joint circulaire")
gaskets = joints
Please look at the reference below.I think you will find it all there.
