Summary

As early as the early 1960s, packaging designers in Europe and America began researching a transparent blister packaging that could reveal the entire product and reflect its value, which became popular in Europe and America in the 1970s. Research and application of blister packaging in China began in the late 1980s, but due to factors such as high costs, its application has been limited. In recent years, it has been increasingly used in fields such as hardware, electronic components, and medical devices.

  Skin film packaging involves heating and softening the skin film, then covering it over the product and the baseboard, while activating vacuum suction under the baseboard to shape the skin film according to the product and adhere it to the baseboard. What are the characteristics of products using this packaging method?


  1. Skin film packaging has a strong three-dimensional effect


  Products with skin packaging are hard to be seen as vacuum-packed products; it is like a transparent outer skin of the product, vividly presenting the product to consumers with a strong three-dimensional effect, enhancing the product's value level.


 2. Skin film packaging has a strong tactile feel


  The skin film closely fits the product's shape, making it clear at a glance, while allowing consumers to directly touch the product, increasing its tactile sensation, attracting consumer attention to some extent, stimulating consumption, elevating the product's value, and bringing considerable benefits to enterprises.


  3. Skin film packaging is convenient for consumption


  Skin-packaged products differ from those packaged in vacuum bags; small packages can meet consumer needs each time. After opening the original packaging, there is no need to worry about food spoilage and waste caused by improper storage.


  What preparations are needed before manufacturers choose to use a skin film packaging machine?


  1. Power supply


  Regardless of the type of machinery, the power supply is the basis for equipment use. Skin film packaging machines belong to commercial vacuum packaging machines and require a 380v power supply for normal operation.


  2. Skin film and product trays


  Skin film and product trays are customized by manufacturers in advance according to the characteristics of the products they need to package and packaging requirements. If products require high oxygen barrier properties, trays with strong barrier performance are needed.


  The main application fields of skin film packaging machines now are.


  1. Skin film packaging machines in the food industry


  Skin film can effectively extend the shelf life of fresh food. More and more food packaging uses skin film to meet market demand, such as seafood (salmon, cod, shrimp, etc.), meat products (steak, pork, lamb head, and poultry, etc.), and pastries (mooncakes, salted egg yolk cakes, mung bean cakes, etc.).


2. Skin film packaging machines in industry


Skin film packaging can prevent unnecessary wear during transportation and prevent falling. It has been favored by many industrial packaging sectors, such as electronic components, medical devices, automotive parts, lighting, toiletries, hardware tools, etc.
