About vacuum packaging

Vacuum sealers and chambers remove air from the package and hermetically seal the package. Both types of machines are also suitable for MAP (modified atmosphere packaging).

Vacuum packaging or MAP can either be done with a vacuum sealer (using a vacuum nozzle) or by vacuum chamber. The difference between the two is explained below. Always use airtight bags (PA/PE) for vacuum packaging.
