The Beauty of Thermoform Skin
Harpak-ULMA’s thermoform skin packaging machinery creates an advanced airtight vacuum pack that protects the product and fits around it like a “second skin.” Both films are sealed over the whole surface except the area occupied by the product, ensuring its most natural, original look. Thermoform skin is among the most attractive solutions for packagers today as the top films enhance the product’s appearance without compromising preservation or freshness long term.
Though the primary function of skin packaging is to improve aesthetics and extend product shelf life, it also adds features that provide additional values, such as liquid retention to prevent product exudation. By delaying microbial growth, thermoforming skin adds the possibility of displaying the pack in a variety of customized ways. Thermoform skin is especially effective in the food packaging industry, creating an ideal seal for fresh meat, processed meat, fish, poultry, ready meals, cheese, and pates.
