Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a packaging solution designed to preserve the freshness and increase the lifespan of perishable goods. By carefully controlling carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen levels, the MAP creates an optimal gas composition inside the packaging that slows down bacterial growth, prevents enzymatic reactions, and protects against oxidative damage.
Enhancing Freshness and Shelf Life
MAP film is made from high-quality, food-safe materials that comply with relevant regulatory standards. Its gas barrier properties ensure minimal gas permeability, thereby maintaining the desired atmospheric conditions within the package for an extended duration.
The transparency of the MAP film allows for clear visibility of fresh produce, such as meat, seafood, dairy products, and baked goods. This packaging solution primarily benefits organic produce, extending shelf life without using chemicals.
Robust and Durable Packaging
The MAP film is durable and offers excellent resistance to punctures. This ensures that products remain safeguarded throughout the entire supply chain, from production to store shelves, thereby preserving their integrity and quality.
Our MAP film can be used with other packaging formats, such as bags, trays and pouches. It seamlessly integrates into existing packaging lines, simplifying the production process while extending shelf life, reducing waste, and improving product quality.
