After skinning fish or meat, it may be interesting to vacuum pack your end product. This means you pack it airtight in vacuum sealer bags. But why would you vacuum pack food products? We’re happy to share the most important reasons with you.
1. Longer shelf life
By vacuum packing fish and meat, no oxygen can get to it. This way the food stays fresh longer and has a longer shelf life. This gives you the opportunity to deliver to a larger area.
2. Increased food safety and quality
Drying out, freezer burn and mould have no chance with vacuum-packed food. On the other hand, its colour, taste and structure are preserved longer. Moreover, vacuum packing gives your food a professional and hygienic appearance.
3. Optimisation of storage and transport
Food in vacuum packaging does not transfer smell or taste to other food. Cross-contamination has no chance, so you can store and stack different products together. The main advantage? You need less storage space and can therefore store in bulk. With one transport you can move more of your quality product.
