Vacuum Packing Bag

What is Vacuum Packing?

Vacuum packing is the process of removing air from the inside of a package or container, and then sealing that package or container to prevent air from re-entering. Most of us are familiar with vacuum packed foods, such as cheese, which have been available at grocery stores for many years.

Eliminates Oxidation

Oxygen is the primary cause of oxidation. Deterioration in numerous situations is caused by oxidation. Your avocado, banana, peach, apple, or pear turns brown because of oxidation. Your silver turns black because of oxidation. Your vitamins and minerals lose potency, in part, because of oxidation. Eliminate oxygen and you eliminate oxidation.

Prevent Freezer Burn

Oxidation, dehydration, and slow bacterial growth cause freezer burn. Without oxygen, none of these are possible. Eliminate oxygen and you eliminate freezer burn.

Avoid Insect Infestation

Insect infestation occurs either because the microscopic sized egg or larvae is present in the food or packaging when purchased, or because the insects infiltrated the packages during storage. In either case, vacuum packing eliminates the problem by removing the air from the interior of the package, and protecting the food with an air barrier and an airtight seal.

Insects, like all living organisms, require air for life. When air is removed from the environment in which we store food, the insects cannot survive. The protective air-barrier keeps the aromas inside the package, so insects cannot recognize it as food.

Preserve Natural Moisture

Air causes moisture to evaporate. One of the reasons we package or wrap food is to keep it from drying out. Do you reach a few slices down into the loaf of bread in search of the softer moist pieces? Do you often find that you have to throw the top slice of luncheon meat away because the edges are dried out and curling up? Vacuum bags packing is far superior to wrapping because the air is removed!
