Step 1: What Products Are Used For Packaging

Step 2: Type Of Packaging Method


You need to clearly state what packaging method you intend to use. Currently, there are various packaging methods available, such as MAP, vacuum, only sealing, and skin pack. If you are an experienced food supplier, please provide information on how your existing materials are packaged, and ideally, provide photos for our reference. Additionally, if gas flushing is required, please specify whether it's a single gas or a mixture of gases. If it's a mixture of gases, a gas mixer will need to be selected (confirm whether a customized gas flushing function is required).
