What is MAP packaging and what are the advantages?Updated 11 days ago

MAP stands for Modified Atmosphere Packaging. It’s a system that replaces the air inside a sealed pack or tray with a specific gas mix, tailored to the product, to help preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

Why we use it:

  • It helps preserve food for longer

  • Keeps products looking fresh

  • Ideal for delicate items like beef patties or sausages

It’s especially useful for products that are more fragile or prone to oxidation.
