Packaging in Modified Atmosphere (MAP) or Protective Atmosphere means “pack a perishable product in an atmosphere that has been modified which composition is different form the air itself”.
Introducing food gas (gas mixtures) into a packaging permits to create a conservative environment ideal for food product. By the time and technical evolution it’s been possible to better optimize this aspect so to permit to eliminate the onerous and complex continuous atmosphere monitoring around the product.
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.
