Abstract
A vacuum packaging process and apparatus employ the novel step of deliberately at least partially re-pressurizing the exterior of a packaging receptacle after commencement of the evacuation of the exterior and interior of the receptacle in a chamber. Preferably two separate gas pressure restoration phases are employed, separated by a resumption of the gas extraction, and the receptacle is closed during the second of these gas pressure restoration phases.
