[**ExxonMobil**](https://corporate.exxonmobil.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **has collaborated with Brazilian packaging converter** [**Videplast**](https://videplast.com.br/en/home-english/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **to develop a vacuum skin packaging (VSP) solution that does not contain ionomers, aiming to reduce film thickness for food packaging applications.**

Utilizing ExxonMobil’s Exceed XP 7052ML performance polyethylene, the new solution hopes to meet market demands for high-performance, cost-effective packaging. Apparently, it provides protection from food spoilage, leakage, and contamination and extends the shelf life of perishable goods by removing air and providing a tight seal. 

ExxonMobil says its Exceed XP 7052ML performance polyethylene is used to create a high-quality, durable film and Videplast manufactures the VSP film through advanced processing techniques to ensure performance and consistency in the final product. 

Reportedly, the process involves ‘optimal thermoformability’ and a high oxygen barrier, aiming for effective vacuum sealing. The companies state the solution is ideal for packaging small portions of meat, cheese, fish, seafood, and other products requiring high-performance and visually appealing packaging solutions. 

In similar news, [SEE](https://www.sealedair.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) released three new [skin packaging top webs](https://packagingeurope.com/news/skin-pack-top-webs-from-see-target-plastic-reduction-in-food-packaging/11559.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for food packaging last month, targeting cost efficiency, performance and plastic reduction. The webs are said to offer a high oxygen barrier and improve a pack’s optical properties. 

Also in July, BOPP films producer [Innovia Films](https://innoviafilms.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) announced its new [white ‘ultra-low density’ film](https://packagingeurope.com/news/innovia-launches-low-density-film-for-ice-cream-flow-wrap-packaging/11638.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) specifically engineered for ice cream flow wrap packaging. Innovia says that under suitable storage conditions, the film can be stored for a period of 6 months without any risk of deterioration.
