Skin packaging applies vacuum technologies to thermo-sealing machines.It consists in the upper film enclosing both the product and its tray, fitting around it like a second skin. Vacuum packaging further extends product shelf-life. The easy-peel packaging materials result in increased ease of opening for the end user. Skin packaging is ideal for attractive product presentation, complete sealing, minimized product damage, high safety standards and enhanced hygiene and preservation.

By extending their shelf-life, skin packaging results in the increased commercial life of foodstuffs. Visibility is also improved, allowing products to be displayed vertically, thus reducing food waste and returns by enhancing shelf replenishment and stock rotation processes.When packaged in skin conditions, meat and meat products continue their maturation process for enhanced tenderness, adequate texture and optimum taste.

Once opened, the product is immediately exposed to oxygen and will only take a few minutes to regain its natural bright colour, without altering taste and freshness.
