Recent innovations in VSP technologies have significantly reduced plastic usage while maintaining the integrity and freshness of packaged products. Advanced top webs used in VSP systems are offering cost savings of 15-53% when compared to traditional Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Additionally, material downgrades, reducing film thickness to as low as 80 microns, are leading to a reduction in carbon footprints by 21-37% and plastic use by up to 51%.
