  1. WHY It’s IMPORTANT • Products with a long shelf life

    are very popular. If a product has a long shelf life, this means that a consumer can stock up on it without having to worry about it going bad and needing to be replaced. • With more people buying in bulk or ordering food online and having it shipped, it is more important now than ever before to ensure that your products are lasting as long as they possibly can. • Here are some tips for making your items last-longer:
  2. Vacuum Capping • One of the most popular and effective

    methods to preserve food is using a vacuum capping machine. • One of the best ways to increase the shelf life of a given products is by using an inline capping machine that uses steam. • When capping occurs, the air is displaced by steam that is injected into the container before it is vacuum-sealed (via in-line capping). • This ensures that all the air inside the container is completely removed, preventing mould, bacteria and anything else from getting into the container and causing the contents to spoil.
  3. • Metal is one of the most common materials used

    for caps designed for in-line capping machines. • Metal caps can have a button on top of them that signify how sealed they are. • When the button is in the down position the container is vacuum-sealed. • Metal capping is quite popular due to its strong resistance to physical force, as well as extreme temperatures and pressures. • Metal caps can be easily moulded into a variety of shapes and formats, making it highly adaptable for a wide range of products.

    air from a container, usually to increase the shelf life of the container’s contents. • It's essential to remove all the oxygen from a food or drink container to prevent bacteria and microorganisms such as mould or fungus from growing inside. How Does Vacuum-Sealing Help Preserve Food?
