Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) film is a core component of modified atmosphere packaging. It is specifically designed for food preservation and is used in conjunction with MAP Trays. Through its high barrier properties, it achieves stable sealing of preservative gases within the packaging while preventing the intrusion of external oxygen, moisture, and odors. With customized gas ratios, it further enhances the preservation effect of MAP, delays food oxidation, mold growth, and spoilage, and significantly extends the shelf life of various foods. It is a key consumable for commercial preservation packaging of fresh, cooked, and fruit and vegetable foods.
The core material is EVOH/PP composite laminate with a heat-resistant resin coating, featuring high gas barrier properties, strong heat-sealing properties, puncture resistance, and tensile strength. It is non-toxic, odorless, and meets food-grade safety standards. It has strong heat-sealing adaptability and can be precisely sealed with various food-grade MAP Trays. The temperature resistance range is **-30℃~130℃**, suitable for refrigeration, freezing, and short-term microwave heating (when used with a MAP Trays, the film needs to be removed and the gas vented before heating).

Core preservation advantages:
With high barrier properties as the core, it firmly locks in the nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture in the MAP Trays, preventing gas leakage and the infiltration of external gases, ensuring the stability of the microenvironment inside the packaging. Compared with ordinary packaging films, it can extend the shelf life of food by 1-2 times, and there are no chemical preservatives added throughout the process, meeting the needs of healthy food preservation.
Advantages of compatibility:
It is highly adaptable and can be perfectly heat-sealed with MAP Trays of different specifications and materials. It can also be used with fully automatic/semi-automatic modified atmosphere packaging equipment. The seal is firm and not easy to leak. It is resistant to transportation bumps and crushing. It can improve packaging efficiency in commercial scenarios. It can also be used with small sealing machines at home, which is highly convenient.
Display and practical advantages:
The high transparency version has a light transmittance of ≥95%, allowing consumers to clearly observe the condition of the food inside the packaging and enhancing the attractiveness of the product display; the film material is puncture-resistant and tear-resistant, effectively preventing fresh meat, seafood bones, and hard stems of fruits and vegetables from puncturing the film and avoiding loss of freshness, while also preventing leakage and moisture, preventing food juices from seeping out and contaminating the packaging.
Cost advantage:
Thickness and width can be customized according to customer needs, bulk purchase is supported, and due to its excellent preservation effect, it can indirectly reduce food loss caused by packaging failure, saving operating costs for merchants.
I. Core Function: High-resistance sealing enhances the core value of modified atmosphere preservation.
High barrier gas-locking function: The multi-layer composite structure achieves efficient barrier against oxygen, moisture and odors. After initial sealing, the gas retention rate is ≥98%, ensuring the long-term stability of the customized gas ratio in the MAP Trays and avoiding food preservation failure due to gas exchange.
Strong heat-sealing function: precise heat-sealing adaptability, strong and gapless sealing edge after heat sealing, high peel strength, can withstand external forces during transportation and stacking, and prevent film from falling off and packaging from leaking.
Weather protection function: It is suitable for various storage environments such as refrigeration, freezing, and room temperature. It does not crack at low temperatures and does not shrink when heat-sealed at high temperatures, maintaining the integrity of the film. At the same time, it can block ultraviolet rays and slow down the oxidation and discoloration of food caused by light.
Enhanced efficiency features: It can be linked with modified atmosphere packaging equipment to achieve automated gas extraction, filling with preservative gas, and heat sealing, improving the efficiency of commercial packaging. The film material has moderate tension, good formability, and is not prone to sealing wrinkles.
II. Application Scenarios: Working in conjunction with modified atmosphere boxes to cover all aspects of food preservation.
For home use: Used with MAP Trays and small sealing machines for sealing and preserving fresh food, cooked food, fruits and vegetables in refrigerators, as well as for packaging portable picnic food to prevent food from absorbing odors and spoiling.
Commercial applications: Supermarket fresh food counters, delicatessens, bakeries, chain restaurants, central kitchens; compatible with fully automated modified atmosphere packaging lines for bulk modified atmosphere packaging of chilled meat, seafood, braised food, pre-cooked dishes, and baked goods; fruit and vegetable preservation packaging in fruit and vegetable wholesale markets to extend shelf life.
Special scenarios: packaging for cross-border/long-distance cold chain transportation of food, modified atmosphere sealing of food samples and test samples in laboratories/medical institutions, and express packaging for e-commerce fresh food to ensure the freshness of food during long-distance transportation.
