Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9103407A1] Packaging is disclosed which comprises a plastics material base (1), goods (5) such as red meats within the packaging, a clear plastics material lid (3) over the base (1) sealing the packaging. A gas is provided within the packaging for enhancing the keeping properties of the goods (5). Typically the gas is 80 % O2 and 20 % CO2 for red meats and the volume of the gas approximately equals the volume of the meat so that the meat will have a packaged shelf life of at least several days without discolouring. The goods (5) are held to the base (1) by strand means (7) so the goods do not flop around within the packaging. The strand means (7) does not substantially impede vision of the goods (5) through the clear plastics lid (3) and leaves substantially the whole of the surface of the goods (5) exposed to the gas. The strand means (7) may be individual strands or may be a mesh or may be a web of plastics with a series of slits or openings therein which is then stretched to provide strand like portions which contact the goods (5). A method of producing the packaging and a package apparatus therefor are also disclosed.
