Various Types of AGELESS™ for Various Purposes
Select the AGELESS™ type that best suits your purposes.
Place AGELESS™ with food in a container or film wrapping which is impermeable to oxygen. Thoroughly seal the container or the film sheet. When inserting AGELESS™ manually, you only need a heat-sealing machine for easy and simple packaging. An automatic AGELESS™ inserting machine, suitable for interlocked operation with existing automatic food packaging machines is available to allow continuous AGELESS™ insertion.
