Stand: 4-6209 Skin packaging is an established application for meat products, poultry, vegetables and deep-frozen meals, but a relatively new phenomenon in the seafood sector.
Nevertheless, more and more manufacturers within the industry are discovering the benefits of fixing seafood products directly in the pack.
A transparent skin film fits the contours of the product like a second skin, preventing drip-loss whilst preserving its colour, flavour, integrity and tenderness. As such, shelf-life of, for example, salmon carpaccio, squid, tuna steaks and small shrimps can be considerably extended.
Logistical benefits include efficient stacking during transport and at point-of-sale. Furthermore, marinated seafood is held in place for a highly appealing product presentation. All Sealpac traysealers and thermoformers can be preconfigured for the skin packaging application.
Already used by many clients, the SEALPAC RE20 thermoformer produces visually appealing packs. Benefits include:
• SEALPAC’s unique Rapid Air Forming
• Quick exchange of dye sets
• Faster production readiness after retooling
• Preconfigured for a wide range of applications such as MAP, Vacuum Skin Packaging, as well as flexible and rigid films
• A modular design to ensure rapid installation
