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.

packaging for longer life
Vacuum Skin Packaging delivers appreciable benefits all along the supply chain, whilst creating attractive, shelf-ready packs.
Producing a pack that is vacuum-sealed ensures significantly longer product life, reducing food waste at every stage. For the consumer, it provides an easy-to-use product, with a freezer- or microwave-safe pack where required, and a skin that is easily peelable for hassle-free use.
The wide range of Vacuum Skin Packaging on offer, including a huge range of differing thicknesses, means that there's an ideal material match whatever product you're wrapping.

Benefits of Vacuum Skin Packaging
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.
