Skin Vacuum Packaging Machine

VSP resists freeze burn, uses less packaging material, and these materials generally have a better environmental footprint because some VSP materials contain a large percentage of recycled content. VSP vacuum skin packaging also reduces the need for MAP gas (such as Tri-Gas blends) to achieve the desired shelf life. VSP offers flexibility for retail display and can be hung vertically like a bag or pouch. There are multiple labeling options and material customization. For example, inline trays can be formed at the processor level using colored/tinted materials, providing marketers with eye-catching branding options. Since VSP vacuum skin packaging was invented and applied to food packaging, the technology has continued to evolve, making it more viable and versatile. With new skin packaging technologies, skin packaging machines, and modern materials, VSP is becoming one of the most common packaging options for the food and retail industries. The advantages and benefits of vacuum skin packaging are as follows:

1. Extended shelf life.
Vacuum skin packaging removes almost all air from the package, keeping the food out of oxygen, which inhibits microbial growth and oxidation, prevents food spoilage, extends shelf life, and preserves the aroma, color, and nutritional value of the packaged product. VSP packaging has a shelf life that is almost twice as long as traditional MAP packaging and about four times longer than stretch-wrapped products.
Extended shelf life leads to reduced food waste and money savings. Vacuum skin packaging also helps prevent food spoilage, leakage, and contamination, thereby preventing food safety issues.

2. Minimize preservatives
End consumers are becoming more health-conscious, so more food processors are responding to consumer demands by using fewer preservatives. If you want your packaging and products to appeal to health-conscious customers, VSP vacuum skin packaging is the perfect way to deliver on that promise without sacrificing the shelf life of your product.

3. Prevent freezer burn
More and more processors are using VSP vacuum skin packaging to market their fresh products. However, for consumers who buy frozen, VSP virtually eliminates freezer burn. Unlike foam trays or modified atmosphere packaging, vacuum skin packaging prevents freezer burn at the source. VSP adheres tightly to the product, preventing freezer burn buildup.

4. No Liquid Migration
The ability to contain liquids is another important benefit of VSP vacuum skin packaging. While tray/lid and foam tray overwrap style packaging allow purge to migrate within the package, vacuum skin packaging prevents liquid migration. This means food manufacturers can put sauces and soups in the package without having them transfer between food ingredients and purge from the meat that never flows around the package (blood, juices, added solutions). Purge is a significant factor in the growth of spoilage bacteria, which can lead to a shortened shelf life.

5. Powerful brand building helper
VSP vacuum skin packaging is neat and compact, with minimal printing, marking and labeling. The high transparency, glossy, flexible soft skin packaging film tightly seals the product, presents the product in a vivid 3D appearance, and ensures that the product color is well displayed to customers. All these benefits make VSP vacuum skin packs the most visually attractive packaging to customers in stores/supermarkets.
As we mentioned above, VSP vacuum skin packaging helps to extend the shelf life of food while minimizing the loss of food aroma, color and nutrition, so that consumers can enjoy the expected food taste and texture without reducing the feeling.
Vacuum skin packaging is leak-proof, easy to open, and freezable, thus providing convenience to consumers, with the characteristics of reducing preparation time, no need to repackage meat for freezing or direct microwave.
Perfect vacuum skin packaging guarantees customer satisfaction, and satisfied customers will definitely add points to your products and brand.

6. Logistics advantages
In vacuum skin packaging, the bottom tray is rigid, while the top skin film is soft. Reliable and durable rigid pallets support and protect food during transport, storage and display, ensuring consumers receive attractive products without damage during transport.
VSP packaging also uses less space in transport and storage. In the retail sector, the volume saved by vacuum skin packaging can reduce truck loads by an average of 12% per year.
