Vacuum Skin Packaging
Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP), also known as Skin Film, is used to create an airtight wrap around food products and is available for both rigid or thermoformed trays.
Using VSP delivers extended shelf-life and preserves product quality for food producers. Vacuum Skin Packaging largely reduces aerobic bacteria growth, allowing for optimum shelf life, whilst also creating exceptional visual appearance.
Used in conjunction with vacuum sealing equipment. VSP can also be used for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications.

Features & Benefits
Protects and preserves
Reducing aerobic growth and ensuring no liquid leakage, courtesy of the tight pack created by vacuum sealing . This allows for optimum product protection, increasing shelf life by up to 10 times and potentially slashing retailer loss in half.
Truly flexible packaging
Delivering exceptional packaging for a wide variety of products - whole foods, portioned products and single servings; raw, uncooked, pre-cooked or smoked. The robust formulation of our vacuum skin packaging offers high puncture resistance even for protruding products such as bone-in foods.
Looking good
Creating a shelf-ready pack that enhances appearance with its high-quality, aesthetically-pleasing transparent finish. The resultant pack can be stored vertically or horizontally at POS, as needed, with no concern about fluid escape.
Easy-Peelable
Adheres to PE lined cardboard trays as well as mono PP and PET plastic trays, including those with recycled content, but is easily peelable for ultimate convenience for your consumers.
Puncture resistance
Adapts to the physical constraints of even irregularly shaped products, including bones and packs with significant height, to ensure the pack remains intact throughout its journey in the supply chain.
Improved sustainability
Fully recyclable material to LDPE 04, with OPRL approval so that standard OPRL consumer recycling labelling can be used, indicating recyclability to consumers and making it easy for them to carry out recycling correctly.
