What are the benefits of skin films?
Skin is an easy-open film with a firm, consistent peel, improving customer convenience when needing to access products. We supply Skin in thicknesses designed to help support the stretch and vacuum process during packing while offering a high protective barrier. This range is also suitable for microwave cooking.
By sealing at all points of contact, Skin greatly improves shelf-life and reduces waste by preserving food, especially fresh meat products, for longer. A tight seal also prevents the contents from moving during storage and transit, ensuring the product is continuously presented at its best.
The use of vacuum packaging for food enables products to be more visible on the shelf. Skin enables a reduction in the weight of packaging materials meaning manufacturers can save on resource costs while reducing the environmental footprint throughout the supply chain.
