How Does Vacuum Skin Packaging Work?

Vacuum skin packaging works by combining strong, clear VSP film to effectively and securely pack food products in the most presentable way. The V stands for vacuum, which means there is virtually no air inside the packaging once sealed. This gives VSP an advantage over traditional tray-sealing film, where there is usually a layer of air above or around the product.

The less air there is, the slower products like meat and cheese start to oxidize and discolor. Removing the air also makes the packaging an inhospitable environment for bacteria, reducing the risk of microbial growth. The tray-sealing film can leave gaps that leave products vulnerable to bacterial invasion.

The high-quality VSP film entirely encapsulates the food products. It forms a skin-tight layer, protecting the product and enhancing its appearance and shelf-life.

Benefits of Using Vacuum Skin Packaging

Why do so many food producers and suppliers choose VSP film over alternative methods like tray-sealing film? There are many benefits, some of which can have positive financial implications for food producers and packaging facilities.

Removing the air from products like meat reduces the need for expensive and potentially taste-altering preservatives. Oxygen removal is a simple method of food preservation, potentially lengthening the shelf-life of many food-based items.

Foods with preservatives, such as salamis and other deli meats, will also last longer as they’re prone to darkening or hardening when exposed to air. Keep cooked meats looking and tasting their best for longer. The same applies to cheese, which can quickly go stale or discolored when exposed to the air.

By protecting food from microbes and oxygenation, vacuum skin packaging naturally improves the shelf life of most products. This means suppliers don’t need to buy raw ingredients as often and consumers will be impressed with the brands they buy.

Food that’s sealed when fresh stays tasting wonderful for longer. There’s a trend in culinary scenes for food that’s as fresh as it comes. When you use vacuum skin packaging instead of tray-sealing film, you can advertise foods as fresher because they are. Consumers will love the taste of fresh meat, sealed without preservatives or other unnecessary additives.

When your food products last longer, you build lasting trust with your end consumers and retailers who stock your goods. Consumers are also likely to talk about brands that last the longest after purchase, as well as those that look the best. Food suppliers can find their brands shared on social media and reach a wider audience than ever thanks to exemplary presentation.

Long-lasting food products save consumers money and they don’t have to throw as much away. As a business, you can also keep products for longer when they're packaged in VSP film. The United States wastes billions of dollars worth of food every year, so any action taken to reduce that means financial savings and a cleaner environment.
