What is Ionomer-Free Vacuum Skin Packaging?

Ionomer-free vacuum skin packaging (VSP) is a cost-effective packaging that does not contain traditional ionomers. The packaging is a combination of barrier materials and polyolefin-based resins. The production process includes steps like film extrusion, product placement, heating, evacuation, and sealing. Its key features are exceptional optics, superior seal integrity, supply resilience, and mechanical durability. It offers benefits like excellent processing, enhanced display, cost-effectiveness, and extended shelf life. The applications of ionomer-free VSP are processed meat, cheeses, RTE meals, fish, dairy, and fresh meat.

The North America ionomer-free vacuum skin packaging market is growing due to the rise in material shortages, high consumption of fresh proteins, focus on regional sustainability goals, increased mono-material use, thriving seafood industry, focus on household food waste reduction, rise in DTE meal kits, and the development of high-value industrial components.
