Extend Your Reach: How Flow Wrapping Enhances Product Shelf Life

Flow wrapping is a very efficient packaging method in which a long roll of film is sealed and cut around each individual product — but how can it extend the shelf life of your products? Read on to find out more!

Flow Wrapping: Efficient, Air Tight, Protective

Offering cost-effective versatility, flow wrapping is suitable for a wide variety of products from baked goods to medical devices. Flow wrapping machines are optimised for speed and efficiency, allowing high volumes of products to be processed quickly. The air-tight seal created by flow wrapping keeps your product fresh for longer, which can allow you to expand the reach of your brand and diversify into markets further afield. Flow wrapping also limits product waste and highlights your commitment to sustainability, particularly if you choose a recyclable flow wrapping film.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

In order to extend the shelf life of your products even further, the atmosphere inside your flow wrapping can be adapted to limit decay. This method, known as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), typically involves replacing the atmospheric air inside the package with nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Using MAP, the flow-wrapped product can be presented attractively and with plenty of protection, rather than vacuum sealed.
