At ANL Plastics we have a solid amount of experience with sealing packaging
The main goal of Modified atmosphere packaging is extending the shelf life of fresh food products. The atmospheric air inside the packaging gets replaced by a gas mixture (composed in the function of the food). This gas mixture slows the growth of bacteria/moulds/yeast that causes food spoilage. the shelf life extension is tremendous, and it is usable for a vast array of foods.
This complex technology is the work of specialist companies and machinery. And what is equally important is the performance of your packaging. If your packaging isn’t designed to avoid oxygen migration, it is a missed opportunity. The material can be adapted (use of barrier material), the flanges need to be straight to avoid bad sealing... And the seal tray needs to be adapted to your machinery, destacking, dimensions…. at industrial speed.
