Frequently Asked Questions

Vacuum skin packaging, also called VSP or skin packaging, combines a thermoforming top film with a rigid bottom such as a pre-made tray, flexible bottom web or flat board. VSP encapsulates the food product and becomes like a second skin, eliminating almost all package atmosphere. Skin packaging is well suited for products that require a very secure seal such as meat, seafood, or cheese.

The flat surface of a boarded skin pack provides enhanced merchandising delivered by two full sides of printable surface that can show everything from serving and preparation suggestions to branding. The simple board bottom structure makes it easy and efficient to pack or display. And once separated from the film, the paperboard substrate is curbside recyclable.
