I've used two or three products that had a paper seal partially over the
sliding metal disk protector on the Macintosh floppy disks.
In all cases, when I inserted the new disk into the drive, the force of
insertion caused the paper seal to split, just as it is designed to do.
My guess is that this behavior is quite common, and harmless. I'm sorry to
hear that other people had trouble by not breaking the seal by hand.
Though why we should continue to use the word "floppy disk" to describe an
object that is stiff and square is a mystery to me.
