MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) film combines new sealing layers to provide a high barrier packaging, accompanied by attractive printing for a striking appearance. MAP increases the shelf-life of fresh and refrigerated food products, which is a clear advantage for end consumers looking for convenience as well as freshness.

NeoSteam™ MAP combines the sealing film for modified atmosphere treatment with our innovative steam-cooking valve. It prolongs the shelf-life of refrigerated products in pouches (FFS bags) or trays (meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, pasta and ready-to-serve meals are just a few examples). These products can then be gently and easily steam-cooked in the microwave. The traditional puncturing of the film is no longer necessary, which means flavor, precious minerals and vitamins are retained. Thanks to the special valve technology, the product is cooked under pressure, which shortens preparation time and ensures the product remains moist. The new combination material is convenient for food producers too: NeoSteam™ MAP can be processed in standard stand-up pouch filling machines. Moreover, MAP is suitable for the latest generation of autoclaving systems, which ensures precise pressure and temperature control in the retort process.
