Vacuum Skin Packaging Machines (VSP)

The Ultimate “Second Skin” Presentation for Premium Foods
Vacuum Skin Packaging Machines (VSP)

Brief Description 

3D Presentation, Maximum Shelf Life, Zero Preservatives.

KANGBEITE’s Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP) machines revolutionize food packaging by creating a “second skin” around your product. This technology heats a specialized top film and uses vacuum pressure to drape it tightly over the product and seal it to the entire surface of the tray. The result is a package that is visually stunning, vertically displayable, and perfectly preserved.

  • Premium Visual Appeal: The invisible “second skin” offers a crystal-clear 3D presentation, allowing consumers to see the natural texture and color of the product without wrinkles or fog.
  • Superior Preservation: Extends shelf life to nearly double that of MAP and four times that of stretch wrap, while eliminating the need for artificial preservatives.
  • Liquid Retention: The film seals to the tray and the product surface, completely preventing liquid migration (purge), making it ideal for meats with juices or ready meals with sauces.
  • Versatile Solutions: Available in Semi-Automatic (Lab/Small Batch), Inline Automatic, Rotary, and Thermoforming configurations to match any production scale.

Product Description & Advantages

How It Works:

The VSP process utilizes heat and vacuum to soften the top “skin film.” The machine then pulls this film tight against the product (whether low profile or high protrusion) and seals it directly to the rigid tray or paperboard backing. All atmosphere is removed, locking the product firmly in place.

Why Choose KANGBEITE VSP Machines?

  • Total Freezer Burn Protection: Unlike foam trays or MAP, the film adheres tightly to the product surface, leaving no space for ice crystals to form. Your product stays fresh even when frozen.
  • Leak-Proof Logic: Because the film seals to the entire surface area of the tray, there is no risk of leakage. You can display packs vertically (hanging) to save shelf space and catch customer attention.
  • Clean Label Friendly: VSP removes oxygen so effectively that it inhibits microbial growth naturally, allowing you to reduce or eliminate chemical preservatives—appealing to health-conscious consumers.
  • Logistics Efficiency: Rigid trays protect the food during transit, and the compact nature of skin packs (no headspace) reduces shipping volume/truckloads by an average of 12% per year.

Industry Applications 

VSP is the preferred choice for high-value, premium products requiring professional presentation.

A. Fresh Protein

  • Meat: Premium steaks, lamb chops, and pork cuts. (Prevents blood/juice purge, maintaining an appetizing look).
  • Seafood: Fish fillets, whole lobster, shrimp, and salmon. (Holds the product firm, preventing damage to delicate textures).

B. Convenience Foods

  • Ready-to-Eat Meals: Meals containing sauces or soups. The skin film holds liquids in place, preventing them from mixing with other compartments during transport.
  • Microwavable Meals: Using CPET trays, consumers can take the pack from the fridge/freezer directly to the microwave.

C. Other Premium Goods

  • Cheese: Wedges and slices (prevents mold and drying).
  • Durian: Effectively seals in the strong odor while showcasing the premium fruit pulp.

Machine Video

Consumables (Packaging Materials)

The machine requires two rolls of film working in sync.

Bottom Film (Forming Film):

Material: Multi-layer co-extruded films (e.g., PA/PE, PA/EVOH/PE, PP/PE).

Types: Available in Flexible (soft bags) or Rigid (hard trays).

Thickness: Typically 100μm – 280μm.

Top Film (Sealing Film):

Material: Composite soft films (e.g., PA/PE, BOPET/PE) or Aluminum Foil.

Thickness: Typically 70μm – 100μm.

Feature: Can be printed with branding/logos.

FAQ 

Q1: What is the main difference between VSP and Vacuum Packing?

Standard vacuum packing uses a flexible bag that wrinkles around the product, often deforming it. VSP uses a rigid tray + a “skin” film that forms a 3D shape without wrinkles, looking much more premium and protecting the food’s shape.

Q2: Can VSP handle liquids/sauces?

Yes. This is a major advantage. Unlike MAP or standard vacuum packs where liquid moves around, VSP locks the liquid in place because the film adheres to the tray surface between food components.

Q3: Does VSP really extend shelf life?

Yes. By removing almost all air and preventing oxidation, VSP offers double the shelf life of MAP (Modified Atmosphere) and up to 4x the shelf life of traditional stretch wrap.

Q4: Can I use paperboard instead of plastic trays?

Yes, our machines are compatible with Paperboard/Laminated Cardboard. This is an excellent option for brands looking to reduce plastic use and improve shelf merchandising.

Q5: What info is needed for a quote?

  • Tray Dimensions: Length x Width x Depth of your tray.
  • Product Height: How much does the product protrude above the tray rim? (Critical for skin packing).
  • Speed: Packs per minute required.
  • Product Type: Meat, seafood, or liquid-heavy meals?
