vacuum-pack

Remove air, seal

To vacuum-pack something is to seal it in packaging from which air has been removed, typically to preserve freshness or extend shelf life: vacuum-packed coffee, vacuum-packed salmon.

The technique prevents oxidation and inhibits bacterial growth.

As a noun, a vacuum pack is the sealed package itself.
