About Vacuum Sealing 

Vacuum sealing is a handy way to keep food fresh longer. Using a good quality vacuum seal bag, you can create a tight seal that preserves freshness and prevents freezer burn. For extended shelf life, you can store sealed items in the freezer, fridge, or pantry. 

Vacuum sealing is one of the important aspects of food packaging and storing, which is beneficial in the following: 

• Guaranteeing Nutritional Value: Proper preservation processes ensure consumers maximize the nutritional value of food.
• Reducing Food Waste: Preserving fresh produce helps reduce food waste, almost one-third of the world's food supply annually.
• Impact on the Environment: Efficient preservation methods decrease food waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and land degradation associated with food production, transportation, and disposal.
• Enhancing Food Security: Preserving fresh food enables people and communities to stockpile food for longer durations, especially in areas where fresh food is limited or seasonal.
• Maintaining Flavour & Quality: Proper preservation maintains fresh produce's texture, flavour, and quality for the ultimate enjoyment.
