Fresh Pasta Packaging
MAP, thermoforming and tray sealing solutions for fresh pasta, filled pasta and industrial egg pasta.
Fresh pasta packaging requires specific technologies that protect shape, texture and microbiological quality without compressing the product. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is today's industrial standard for extending fresh pasta shelf life up to 60 days, keeping structure intact and maintaining quality perceived by the end consumer.
Process Challenges
Product deformation and breakage under pure vacuum compression
Risk of anaerobic yeast fermentation in absence of oxygen
Filling loss in filled formats (tortellini, ravioli, mezzelune)
Moisture control and condensation prevention on film
Shape and size variability between formats managed on the same line
Insufficient shelf life for retail distribution channels
How EMA Pack Responds
MAP with CO₂ 20-30% + O₂ 3-5% + N₂ mixture: protects shape and prevents fermentation
MTF/STF thermoformers with dedicated mould for each pasta format
MAP tray sealers with gas injection for flexible multi-format production
Film temperature control to reduce condensation and ensure stable sealing
Quick format change to manage multiple SKUs on the same line
Shelf life 30–60 days for retail distribution and extended shelf life
