The market has found in modified atmosphere packaging (ATM) an effective way to extend the shelf life of packaged foods. With this innovative ATM technology, it is possible to create or change the composition of the air inside the package with gases such as oxygen, ozone or carbon dioxide, a process that contributes mainly to the conservation and significant increase in the shelf life of the product.

And if there is technological progress in packaging protection, there is the participation of Vitopel, which with its expertise developed V.Protect ATM, a film with a double dose innovation and long awaited by the market: it enables the use of a “mono material” structure in BOPP incorporated into the use of ATM technology. A perfect combination that enables recycling and reduces food waste.

Regardless of the applied thickness or grammage, with V.Protect ATM the packaging achieves twice the protection against water vapor, in addition to significantly improving the barrier to light, as well as a gain of up to 3 times in the oxygen barrier, compared to high barrier metallic films. This high performance guarantees an important gain in shelf life, in addition to maintaining the visual appearance and preserving the freshness, crispness, texture and nutritional characteristics of the packaged product. It is a solution that also performs well in high-speed packaging machines, being a temperature-stable material in a factory environment.

V.Protect ATM serves categories such as coffee, powdered milk, nuts oilseeds, processed snacks, cakes, among others. It is available in a glossy shiny metallized version.

Discover some advantages of ATM packaging:

– Significant gain of shelf life in foods;

– Product quality assurance;

– Preserves the freshness, crispness, texture and nutritional characteristics of the packed food;

– Contributes to the reduction of food waste.
