Maximizing Freshness and Minimizing Waste with Durapak Skin Packaging Machines
Skin packaging machines from Durapak ensure optimal product protection and presentation. These automated systems form a skin-tight, transparent barrier around each product or product group using film. This process, called skin packaging, creates a hermetically sealed wrap that shields contents from oxygen, moisture, microbes and damage while allowing visibility for marketing.
Skin packaging is an advanced packaging technique suitable for a variety of perishable and non-perishable goods. At Durapak, our skin packaging machines are designed for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care and more.
The machines form an easy-peel, tamper-evident seal of ultra-thin film tightly around irregularly shaped products or multi-packs with precision. This maintains freshness and extends shelf life while preventing product contamination.
With Durapak, you receive a customised skin packaging solution tailored to your specific production needs. Our experts advise on the right machine model, film selection, workflow setup, and throughput requirements for your application. Contact us to discuss how skin packaging can benefit your products and operational efficiency.
Buyer's guide
How a skin packaging machine works
A skin packaging machine heats a clear film and draws it down over a product resting on a board using vacuum. The softened film moulds tightly to the product and bonds to the board, holding it firmly in place like a second skin.
The product is fixed and visible, protected against knocks and tampering, and needs no separate insert or box. Skin packs are widely used for hardware, spare parts, tools and retail display goods.

How to choose a skin packaging machine
- Board size. The machine bed must suit your largest board or batch of boards.
- Product height. Taller products need more film draw.
- Volume. Sets whether a manual or an automatic machine is right.
- Board material. Skin board must be porous enough for the vacuum to draw the film down.
Skin packaging machines run on skin film with a suitable skin board. Durapak supplies skin film for its machines. See Skin Film or all consumables.
