Product type
Vacuum skin packaging is a method used to package food products by creating a tight seal around the item, removing air to extend shelf life and maintain freshness. This packaging typically consists of a flexible film that conforms closely to the product, providing protection from external elements and reducing the risk of spoilage. The process involves placing the food item in a vacuum chamber, where air is extracted before sealing the package.
| Material | Polyethylene, nylon, or polyester films |
| Seal type | Heat seal or peelable seal |
| Thickness | 50 to 200 microns |
| Oxygen transmission rate | Typically < 10 cc/m²/day |
| Temperature resistance | Up to 85°C for cooking applications |
When choosing vacuum skin packaging, consider the type of food product and its specific storage requirements. Specify the material type based on the product's compatibility and desired shelf life. Additionally, consider the thickness of the film for durability and the seal type for ease of opening. Certifications for food safety and compliance with regulations may also be important, depending on the market. Always request samples to evaluate the packaging performance before making a bulk purchase.
