Frequenly ASked questions
Common questions about our services and solution
What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a proven preservation method that reduces oxygen inside the packaging and replaces it with natural gases such as CO₂ or nitrogen. This controlled atmosphere slows oxidation, prevents mold growth, and eliminates insects in all life stages—without chemicals or residues.
How does VacQPack’s solution differ from traditional fumigation?
Traditional fumigation often relies on chemical treatments that leave residues and offer only temporary protection. VacQPack’s MAP solution is fully organic, non-toxic and curative, maintaining protection throughout storage and transport and preventing re-infestation.
Which products are suitable for VacQPack solutions?
VacQPack solutions are ideal for moisture- and oxygen-sensitive dry commodities such as grains, seeds, rice, cacao, coffee, nuts, spices, herbs, and animal feed—including organic and residue-sensitive products.
Can MAP be applied both preventively and curatively?
>Yes. VacQPack’s system can be used preventively to protect freshly harvested or processed goods, and curatively to eliminate existing insect infestations in stored commodities.
Does VacQPack only sell bags, or a complete system?
VacQPack delivers a fully integrated solution: high-barrier liners (inside or outside), sealing equipment, gas exchange technology, the VQPro MAP system, and expert guidance. This ensures reliable, measurable MAP conditions and consistent results.
Is VacQPack suitable for small and large operations?
Yes. The system is scalable—from smaller storage volumes to industrial bulk operations—making it suitable for both regional producers and global supply chains.
What is the return on investment (ROI)?
Customers typically see ROI through reduced losses, fewer claims, lower fumigation costs, improved shelf life and higher product value. VacQPack helps make costs predictable instead of reactive.
Do you help determine the right solution for my product?
Absolutely. VacQPack provides tailored technical advice based on your commodity, storage conditions, logistics flow and quality requirements. On-site testing or pilots are possible to validate performance before implementation
Can MAP be integrated into existing processes?
In most cases, yes. VacQPack solutions are designed to fit into existing storage and logistics flows, with minimal disruption and clear operational guidance.
What kind of training do you provide?
We offer hands-on training for your team—on-site, online, or at partner locations—covering installation, operation, quality checks and best practices to ensure correct and efficient use of the system.
Is technical support available after installation?
Yes. VacQPack is known for being highly accessible and responsive. Customers can reach our experts via email, phone, WhatsApp or video call, with fast troubleshooting and practical guidance.
Do you offer MAP as a service?
Yes. If you are not ready to invest in equipment, VacQPack can perform the MAP treatment as a service, at your site or another suitable location, almost anywhere in the world.
How fast can you deliver equipment and materials?
VacQPack offers fast, worldwide delivery of liners, consumables, machines and spare parts through its global network and service hubs, minimizing downtime and operational risk.
Is VacQPack suitable for organic products?
Yes. VacQPack’s MAP technology is fully organic and residue-free, making it a natural alternative to chemical fumigation and fully compatible with organic certification requirements.
How do I get started with VacQPack?
Simply contact VacQPack for an initial consultation. From there, we assess your product and process, recommend a tailored solution, and support you through testing, implementation and long-term use.
How does VacQPack help reduce food loss?
By preventing infestation, moisture damage and oxidation, VacQPack significantly extends shelf life, reduces rejected shipments and minimizes reprocessing or disposal—helping protect both product value and resources.
Does MAP affect food safety or nutritional value?
No. MAP preserves the product in its natural state. It does not alter taste, aroma or nutritional value and contributes to higher food safety and consistency throughout the supply chain.
Can you provide proof of effectiveness?
Yes. VacQPack supports customers with data-driven validation, including oxygen residue measurements, shelf-life testing and scientific insights for specific product groups.
How does VacQPack support sustainable supply chains?
By preventing losses instead of treating problems afterward, VacQPack supports Farm-to-Fork principles, reduces waste, lowers reliance on chemicals, and contributes to a more resilient food system.
