Top sealing is an advanced packaging method developed specifically to preserve the freshness of products such as fruits and vegetables. In this technique, a thin film is applied airtight to a dish or container, providing optimal protection of the product from external influences such as oxygen and moisture. This preserves the quality and taste of the product for longer, which is essential for the fresh produce industry.

How does top sealing work?

The process begins by placing the product in a suitable tray. A special film is then stretched over it and sealed airtight. Depending on the desired shelf life and product characteristics, different sealing methods can be chosen, such as MAP-F, vacuum sealing or skin-packing. These techniques ensure that the products stay fresh longer and are attractively presented.

The film is pulled tightly around the product, providing attractive presentation and protection.

A quick and cost-effective method for products with a short shelf life.
