Main Application
Here you can add the portion forms or the pack/bag types that are relevant for the product.
Partial Skin Packaging
Vacuum Skin Packaging secures the product with a clear film that tightly wraps around it while leaving some tray surface exposed. It offers excellent freshness preservation and an attractive display for retail.
Skin Packaging with Flat Profile
Vacuum Skin Packaging completely seals the product under a transparent film that conforms tightly to its shape and the entire tray surface. This method ensures maximum protection, extended shelf life, and premium product presentation.
Skin Pack
Vacuum Skin Packaging uses a smooth, tight film to hold the product firmly in place, creating a sleek and appealing look. Ideal for products that require both protection and a premium appearance.
