Skin packaging is a type of vacuum packaging technology in which a product is placed on a substrate (usually a cardboard or plastic tray) and covered tightly with a transparent plastic film that molds around the product. This packaging method enhances product visibility, extends shelf life, and improves protection against tampering or damage.

Skin packaging is widely used across industries such as food (meat, cheese, seafood), electronics, consumer goods, and pharmaceuticals. The market is growing due to rising demand for extended product shelf life, superior product display, and tamper-evident packaging solutions.

The global skin packaging market was valued at around USD 2.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6–7% over the next decade.
