A seal (2) for a toner cartridge assembly used in printers, copy machines and facsimile machines and preventing the loss of toner from said cartridge assembly during handling and shipment, comprises a layer from which a strip (3) can be torn out, using a tab (4) so as to define an opening (7) for the passage of toner with respect to the part of the layer which has not been torn out. The strip (3) is provided at its first end part (5) with a recess or slits (11) for lowering the tearing force required when starting to tear the strip (3). The strip can be combined in an assembly (figure 9) which can be glued to a cartridge. <IMAGE> |
