vacuum sealed
Air completely removed
Vacuum sealed describes packaging from which air has been removed before sealing, creating a tight fit around the contents.
The absence of oxygen slows spoilage and prevents freezer burn: vacuum sealed meat, vacuum sealed coffee beans.
The technique keeps food fresh longer and reduces storage space.
Figuratively, something vacuum sealed is completely airtight or impervious: His alibi was vacuum sealed.
