Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Modifying the atmosphere of packaging, whether partially or entirely, results in longer shelf life, maintained quality, and a better aesthetic for perishable foods like beef, poultry, fish, and cheeses. Nextera Packaging’s team of experts can help you comprehensively leverage and scale modified atmosphere packaging technology with the same care and attention you put into your food products.

Materials and Features:

MAP materials can be as simple as mono-layer structure or as sophisticated as multi-layer coextrusions, incorporating EVOH as a high barrier substrate.
Gas flushing is a common method for modifying the atmosphere of food packaging. It often uses nitrogen to push oxygen out of the packaging container resulting in benefits like longer shelf life.
Vacuum pouches are a versatile way to utilize modified atmosphere packaging via gas flushing. Barrier and non-barrier options are available.
Increased shelf life through modified atmosphere packaging is within reach! There are many options to explore (and we can’t list them all here). Connect with one of our experts to find out how MAP can transform the life of your food.
