VSP Trays for Vacuum Skin Packaging | Extend Freshness & Protection

VSP trays, or Vacuum Skin Packaging trays, are specialized rigid trays designed for use in Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP), a technology that creates a tight, form-fitting seal around perishable foods to extend their shelf life. These trays are typically made from food-grade materials like PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), chosen for their rigidity, durability, and compatibility with the VSP process. The tray serves as a stable base for a wide range of foods, including meats, seafood, cheeses, fruits, and prepared meals, ensuring they remain intact during packaging. In VSP, a heat-sealable film is draped over the food, and a vacuum is applied, drawing the film tightly around the product to conform to its shape and adhering the film to the edges of the tray. This eliminates air pockets, which are a major cause of oxidation, microbial growth, and spoilage, thereby preserving the food’s freshness, texture, and flavor for longer periods. VSP trays come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different food types and portion sizes, from small trays for individual servings to large trays for bulk packaging. They are compatible with automated VSP equipment, making them suitable for high-volume production in food processing facilities. The transparency of the tray and film allows consumers to clearly view the food, enhancing retail appeal and facilitating quality assessment. Manufactured in hygienic conditions, VSP trays comply with strict food safety standards, ensuring they are safe for direct contact with food. By extending shelf life, reducing waste, and improving product presentation, VSP trays are a valuable packaging solution for retailers and food producers.
