Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8903789A1] A method and apparatus for producing goods (213) packaged within a casing (201) are disclosed. The casing (201) has a first outer casing part (205) and a second outer casing part (207) and at least one of the casing parts (205, 207) has a cup-shaped depression therein with a web of skin packaging material (203) over the depression. Goods (213) are placed between web (203) and the other casing part and the two casing parts (205, 207) are brought together so that the goods (213) stretch the web (203). The two casing parts (205, 207) are then sealed together so that the web (203) is maintained stretchingly engaged with the goods (213). Preferably the web (203) is gas permeable and the casing parts (205, 207) are gas impermeable. A gas for enhancing the keeping properties of the goods (213) is provided between the web (203) and at least one of the casing parts so the gas can permeate the web (203) and assists enhancing the keeping properties of the goods (213). Typically, the gas can be a combination of O2 and CO2 when the goods (213) are red meat.
