Applications
Ambient
packaging
Ambient packaging
An airtight straight seal with no vacuum or altered atmosphere applied. This is the simplest form of seal and often used with frozen products, or fresh products with micro-perforations and other breathable films.
Vacuum packaging
Vacuum packaging
Air is removed from the flexible packaging to protect the product from oxygen, extending the shelf life. This is often used with a tightly sealed package when the product has more rigidity.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)
In this process, air is vacuumed out and replaced with carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or a gas mixture. This is used to extend the shelf life and keep products fresh, especially with delicate or perishable foods.
Vacuum skin packaging (VSP)
Vacuum skin pack (VSP)
Skin packaging uses a specialized film which seals to a rigid or semi-rigid bottom film. When heated, the film will form around the product and act like a second skin for a professional appearance.
Pro-skin packaging
Pro-skin packaging
Pro-skin packaging fits around the product like skin packaging, but differs in the way the product rises above the edges of the tray. Pro-skin applications require different equipment and is used with shallow trays or flat paper boards.
