Gases, equipment and advice for the right Modified Atmosphere
Packaging (MAP) In Europe, FRESHLINE™ is Air Products' complete
offering to suppliers, of MAP packed food products. It provides
the best way to ensure that food products are safely packaged
in order to reach the consumer in optimum condition.

usually a carefully controlled mixture of these gases. In Europe,
our FRESHLINE™ specialists - experienced in all aspects of
MAP - will advise you on the correct mixtures and the most appropriate
equipment for your particular product. |
