Sachets were one of the first promising technologies for oxygen scavenging. Since the sachet is an applied packet, there is very little disruption to the package production line. Sachets are also fairly inexpensive in relation to the added value that they provide for the quality of the product. Because sachets are made in a variety in sizes, shapes, absorbency levels and forms, many different foods can be catered towards the specific bio-chemical needs of that food.
