Outre le contrôle des produits finis, des contrôles du conditionnement sont effectués sur les lignes par des opérateurs (correspondance boîte/produit, soudures, poussières, numéro du lot, quantité de pastilles par boîte).
Could this maybe be translated as seams, i.e. the edges of the boxes??

soldered joints/part2


Explanation:
Hi Naranga,

after you supplied more context I just wanted to add that soldered joints seem to work out for plastic too.

If it 's the kind of joints looking like seams (you mention washing powder tablest) I suppose they were closed by heating.

You could also consider: Heat-Fusioned Joints.

...but then you really have to be sure this is the case (i.e. were they fusioned by heat?), otherwise the "soldered joints " still applies in general -also in a plastic context
