Abstract (en)

The invention is related to a packaging machine which seals a film to a tray which has been filled with a packaging item, for example food. The packages can be so-called MAP packages in which the packaging item is packaged under a modified atmosphere. In order to modify the atmosphere, the air is in a first step at least partially taken out of the tray and then substituted by a modified atmosphere, for example N 2 and/or CO 2 . An other package which can be produced on the traysealer is a so-called skin package in which a top-film is shrunk around the packaging item, so that it butts against the packaging item.
