Modified Atmosphere Packaging
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.

| Every product, even complex food products, has
its own ideal atmosphere - Oxygen, Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide
- and 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.
