Skin packaging applications

Food Packaging Application

Vacuum body wrap

Skin packaging has become quite common in North America and Europe. In Taiwan, this innovative packaging format is gradually gaining traction and is expected to become one of the mainstream packaging solutions in the high-end market in the near future.

Convenient Consumption & Waste Reduction

In Europe, meats such as steak, salmon, and baby octopus, which are suitable for grilling, are often packaged using skin packaging. Consumers can place the entire packaged product directly into a microwave for heating, then peel off the film for immediate consumption. Currently, in addition to frozen meat and seafood, the international market is increasingly adopting skin packaging for ready-to-eat foods as well.

Since the transparent film tightly adheres to the product, consumers can clearly see its color, shape, and condition with the naked eye and even feel its texture. This packaging method enhances the consumer experience, making it more tangible and visually appealing. With strategic product arrangement, the final presentation at the retail level can be highly attractive.

Skin packaging utilizes vacuum technology to ensure the film adheres perfectly to the surface of the packaged product, providing excellent barrier properties and protection. This helps reduce oxygen permeability, minimizing food spoilage and waste.

Feature introduction

Skin packaging material

Skin packaging has higher requirements on the flexibility and heat resistance of the packaging material. Barrier bottom box material (container, cardboard) and packable products. "The core technology lies in the formulation of the packaging material, which must ensure that the film in the packaging material manufacturing process has high flexibility and high temperature resistance. Temperature is about 160℃ (±25℃), if the heat resistance of the packaging material is not enough, it is easy to stick to the knife, foam, and cannot be solid It is now perfectly packaged, which affects the beauty of the product."

Skin Packaging Improves Production Automation

Skin packaging also increases the automation of the production line. Taking the packaging of a steak as an example, a traditional packaging bag production line requires 6 workers to work together: taking meat, weighing, bagging, vacuuming, and heat sealing. If it is replaced by a body-packing production line, manpower such as bagging, vacuuming, and thermal packaging can be saved. In addition, the production speed can be increased by up to about 30%, which greatly improves the automation of the production line. At present, skin packaging is mainly used in frozen meat and a small number of ready-to-eat dishes in the Taiwan market. At present, some customers have asked whether it can be applied to sliced fruits, but different varieties of fruits require different environmental conditions for preservation, and some fruits are easily oxidized, so they are not very suitable for skin packaging.

Whether skin packaging can be used on soft products

Body packaging is not recommended for use on soft products due to the need for vacuuming. It is also recommended to freeze meat and seafood until firm before packaging.
