Skin packaging applies vacuum technology to thermo-sealing machines.
The upper film encloses both the product and tray, forming tightly around it like a second skin. This vacuum process helps extend product shelf life while maintaining presentation quality.
Optional easy-peel materials can be used to improve opening convenience for the end user.
Skin packaging is suitable for:
- Attractive product presentation
- Complete sealing
- Reduced product damage
- High safety standards
- Improved hygiene and preservation
By extending shelf life, skin packaging increases the commercial lifespan of food products.
Product visibility is improved, allowing vertical display. This helps reduce waste and returns by supporting better shelf replenishment and stock rotation.
When packed in skin conditions, meat and meat products can continue a natural maturation process, supporting improved tenderness, texture and flavour.
Once opened, the product is exposed to oxygen and regains its natural bright colour within a few minutes without affecting taste or freshness.
There are three skin packaging formats available on the Oceania tray system:
Non-Protrusion:
- Product height does not exceed tray depth
- Recommended tray depth: 25–30mm
- Designed for optimum skin performance
Protrusion:
- Product exceeds tray depth
- Recommended tray depth must not exceed 20mm
- Product can protrude above tray lip:
- Up to 30mm (standard)
- Up to 50mm (optional)
Protrusion onto Flat Board:
- Uses a flat support instead of a traditional tray
- Product can protrude:
- Up to 30mm (standard)
- Up to 50mm (optional)
- Allows use of cardboard or flat bases, reducing plastic usage
- Enables multiple print and custom packaging options
The Italian Pack Olympus Skin MAP machine can also operate in MAP mode by fitting an additional base plate for the tray die/mould. For more information, please contact our sales team on 01233 733737
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) involves introducing a controlled food-grade gas mixture into the tray to extend shelf life and maintain product quality, freshness and appearance.
MAP packaging provides:
- Tamper-evident packaging
- Reduced spoilage, waste and returns
- Improved product stability throughout shelf life
Advanced gas mixtures help maintain natural colour, taste and freshness.
Extended shelf life supports:
- Simplified distribution with fewer deliveries
- Improved stock management
- Increased efficiency during promotions and peak demand
Vacuum & Gas MAP is a process that removes air from the tray using vacuum technology, followed by the injection of a controlled gas mixture before sealing the tray.
The Italian Pack Olympus tray sealing machine is a semi-automatic system designed for seal only, partial vacuum, skin packaging, gas flush and MAP applications.
The machine features a rotating turntable system that reduces downtime by allowing simultaneous loading and unloading on one side while the packaging cycle is completed on the opposite side.
An optional automatic tray lifter can be added to increase loading speed and overall output.
The same die/mould system can be configured for seal only, MAP and skin packaging formats.
