These are the different types of industrial packaging you will find for any type of food depending on the machine you will be working with. There are different packaging types for thermoforming machines, cardboard thermoforming machines, heat sealers, cardboard heat sealers, vacuum machines, and flow machines.

The food packaging method is not only important to achieve an optimal final result in terms of product presentation but is also one of the variables that will significantly impact its preservation.
Temperature: When filled hot, it is important to remember that most flexible materials, such as PET packaging, have a maximum transition temperature of around 70°C, so particular approaches must be used to minimize deformation both during and after filling. Low temperatures, on the other hand, are used in high-pressure packaging. Time: This parameter has a significant impact on systems such as modified atmosphere packaging, where the introduction of gases after oxygen removal must be very rapid, as well as high-pressure packaging, where the contents can deform if the hydrostatic pressure is maintained for a longer period than necessary. Additionally, in hot filling, hot-tack or the hot-seal strength will affect the optimization of filling speed. Finally, pressure will be crucial in systems such as high-pressure packaging, where pressure must be uniformly applied throughout the food and in all directions. Welding time: The amount of time the welding plate is held against the material determines the cadence, peelability, and seal tightness, among other important factors in proper packaging.
In addition to temperature, time, and pressure, any packaging process must consider factors such as food protection, which is usually a combination of needs to prevent deterioration, leakage, alteration, contamination, dehydration, compression, barrier against oxygen, water vapor, bacteria, and so on.
