FAQ Food packaging

Here you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our company and our packaging solutions.

What is vacuum packaging and why adopt it?

Vacuum suction at 5-20 mbar via a chamber machine or thermoformer eliminates oxygen and inhibits 95% of aerobic bacteria.

Benefits: extended shelf life (+30% BBD), reduced wastage, better presentation without crystallization.

➡️ Request a vacuum film sample.

What is modified atmosphere preservation (MAP)?

After depression, a 50% N₂ / 50% CO₂ mixture is reinjected into the bag.

Applications: quiches, nems, charcuterie – no crushing, anti-oxidation barrier.

Advantage: up to +40% CSD extension without visual alteration.

What is the skin process and what are its advantages?

Skin packaging is a technique whereby a product is packaged on a support (such as a tray or cardboard) by covering it with a transparent plastic film that perfectly matches its shape, like a “second skin”. This process is ideal for solid food products such as meat, fish, poultry, seafood, ready-made meals and cheese.

The skin packaging perfectly matches the shape of the food (vacuum at 2-3 mbar).

Results: marketing value, absence of exudate, optimized preservation.

ROI: premium display without plastic overwrapping.

What are the migration risks and how do you control them?

Our films undergo EN 1186 tests on water, vinegar and oil: zero migration detected.

Safety: no bisphenol, phthalates or harmful amines.

Certification: EU Food Contact approval.

How long can I expect each process to last?

No general answer can be given to this question. The quality of the raw material (fish or fresh meat), the quality of the vacuum during packaging (5 mbar or 20 mbar or…), the quality of the cold chain and the Gas & O 2 are important parameters. But only technical validation can confirm the safety of the BBD or UBD on the packaged product.
