Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a packaging technique that replaces the oxygen inside a package with a controlled gas mixture typically nitrogen (N₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) to extend shelf life, slow bacterial growth, and maintain product freshness. By reducing oxidation, MAP helps preserve the color, texture, and quality of meat, poultry, and fish, preventing spoilage and freezer burn.
Unified Flex’s MAP-Compatible Solutions
Unified Flex offers packaging machines that can be equipped with an optional nitrogen flushing system, allowing manufacturers to use MAP for:
- Meat: Helps retain color and prevents oxidation in vacuum-sealed or gas-flushed packaging.
- Poultry: Reduces bacterial growth and maintains moisture for fresh and frozen products.
- Fish & Seafood: Prevents freezer burn and preserves texture for extended shelf life.
Our machines can produce pillow bags, 3-side seal, 4-side seal, and vacuum-sealed bags, providing a secure, leak-proof packaging solution for MAP applications.
