Applications of thermoforming machines in food packaging

Thermoforming machines have become indispensable in modern food packaging. They enable automated, hygienic, and material-efficient packaging of a wide range of product types – especially where freshness, protection, and attractive presentation are essential.

Typical application areas include:

Meat, sausages & poultry
Thanks to vacuum or MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), perishable products stay fresh significantly longer. Thermoformed trays provide extra product protection during transport and retail.

Fish & seafood
Delicate products such as salmon fillets or shrimp are often packed in skin packaging. This method secures the product tightly and enhances its premium presentation at the point of sale.

Cheese & dairy products
Thermoformed packaging ensures an aroma-tight seal and prevents moisture loss – ideal for hard and sliced cheeses, mozzarella, or individual cream cheese portions.

Fruits, vegetables & salads
Fresh and ready-to-eat products benefit from the flexible tray design and breathable packaging concepts – for example, with modified atmosphere to preserve color and texture.

Ready meals & snacks
From pizza, soups, pasta and bowls to snack items: thermoforming machines reliably package both single-portion products and multi-compartment trays – ideal for chilled shelves or on-the-go consumption.

Our thermoforming machines are designed to package a wide variety of food products safely and efficiently – perfectly adapted to your product, production volume, and desired packaging format.

Frequently asked questions about our thermoforming machine

A thermoforming machine shapes packaging directly from plastic film and seals it after filling. The film is heated, drawn into a cavity, filled (e.g. with food or medical products) and then sealed with a top film – for hygienic, robust packaging units directly on the line.

A thermoforming machine lets you safely and cost-effectively package a wide variety of products. Typical applications include fresh foods such as meat, sausage, cheese, or fish, which stay fresh and appealing for longer thanks to vacuum or MAP technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging). You can also efficiently and hygienically package pharmaceutical products like blister packs, technical small parts, or medical disposable items.

Our thermoforming machines can be flexibly configured to match your product range. We also supply the right packaging materials such as high-quality sealing film and thermoforming film for reliable and attractive product protection.

Thermoforming machines and traysealers mainly differ in how the packaging is produced. A thermoforming machine forms the packaging inline directly from film and flexibly adapts shape and size to your product. This enables individual packaging designs and efficient processing of large volumes.

A traysealer, on the other hand, seals pre-made trays with a sealing film, making it ideal for standardized packaging and smaller production runs.

If you're looking for high flexibility and automation, a thermoforming machine is often the better choice. We’re happy to advise you on the right machine and also provide you with the optimal films – from thermoforming film to sealing film – all from a single source.

Thermoforming machines use different types of film depending on product requirements and packaging goals. Commonly used hard films include PET, PVC, or PS, for example for blister packs in the pharmaceutical and non-food industries. For flexible food packaging, soft films such as PE, PA, or EVOH composite films are particularly suitable because they wrap closely around the product and offer excellent barrier properties.

Especially for sensitive products, barrier materials help ensure optimal protection of shelf life and quality—even in combination with MAP technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging).

As a manufacturer we also offer thermoforming film or sealing film for your product and machine.

A thermoforming machine offers many advantages for your production process. It combines forming the packaging and sealing it in one step, making the process efficient and time-saving. You can realize customized packaging designs to perfectly showcase your product—ideal for branding or special formats.

With high cycle rates and hygiene standards, the thermoforming machine is perfect for the food industry and other sensitive sectors. You’ll also save costs by using roll stock like thermoforming film and sealing film instead of expensive pre-made trays. Modern technologies such as MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), labeling, or printing systems can be easily integrated, making the machine a future-proof solution for automated packaging processes.

MAP technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) enables products to be packaged in a modified protective atmosphere. The air in the forming chamber is replaced with a specific gas mixture to improve shelf life and product quality. Our thermoforming machines can be equipped with a MAP function to optimally package products such as meat, cheese, or ready meals.

Do you need a MAP-capable thermoforming machine?
Contact us for a no-obligation consultation and we’ll help you find the right automation solution: info_at_alphapack.de.

A thermoforming machine with MAP technology allows you to significantly extend the shelf life of your products and maintain their quality. MAP packaging reduces oxidation and spoilage, ensures a fresh appearance, and meets high retail requirements. For manufacturers in the food industry, MAP packaging is often the standard.

Are you looking for the right packaging film for thermoforming machines?
As a manufacturer, we also supply the matching sealing film (→ to product) and thermoforming film (→ to product).

Not every thermoforming machine comes with a MAP function as standard. However, many models can be retrofitted or configured with MAP technology. Our MAP-capable thermoforming machines are designed to package under protective atmosphere while adapting flexibly to different products and production volumes.
