Sealing types

Seal only
A lidding film is heat-sealed around the tray rim, locking in the product with its original air.

MAP (no vacuum)
Modified atmosphere packaging flushes the tray with a nitrogen/CO₂ mix to extend shelf life and keep product looking fresh.

MAP with vacuum
Pulls a vacuum before gas flushing for a higher-purity atmosphere and even longer shelf life.

Skin pack
Film is drawn tight over the product like a second skin — the longest shelf life and a premium retail look.
