vacuum pack

Remove air, seal

To vacuum pack is to seal something in airtight packaging after removing the air, typically to preserve food or protect items from moisture and oxidation.

The process extends shelf life by eliminating oxygen that would allow bacteria to grow: vacuum-packed salmon, vacuum-packed coffee beans.

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