Packaging methods

The right packaging method for every product, from sealing to vacuum.

Sealing
Sealed without protective gas, with optimum protection from environmental influences.
MAP
The ambient air is replaced with protective gases matched to the product.
Vacuum
The air is removed and the pack is sealed without adding protective gas.
Skin
The top film fits like a second skin and holds the product on the bottom film or tray.
Steam
Hot-filled, with steam displacing the air before sealing.
Shrink
After vacuum packing, heat shrinks the film tightly to the shape of the product.
MLP
Several product layers are sealed separately so they can later be removed portion by portion.
