A skin package is made by sealing product in between a layer of heated plastic, and one of adhesive coated paper. As seen to the right, the plastic is trapped in a frame that travels between the oven and the vacuum area. Once the plastic is secured and the frame raised out of the way, the board is loaded into the vacuum area and the product placed on top of the paper(seen at right as blue boxes). After the oven heats the plastic for a preset time, the frame lowers, the vacuum is activated, and the vacuum pulls the plastic down over the product against the paper. The hot plastic melts the adhesive, and the paper and plastic are bonder together.
