Abstract

A process for carrying out a packaging for food stuffs, such as hazelnuts, dried fruits, or powdered milk, packaged in bulk, comprises the steps of: —provision of a big bag container ( 2 ), —carrying out a filling of the above said product (P), into the big bag container ( 2 ), —provision of a seal enclosure ( 3 ) susceptible of containing the big bag container ( 2 ) with the above said filling of product (P) therein, and—sealing the enclosure ( 3 ) containing the big bag container ( 2 ), with the above said filling of product (P) therein, a sub atmospheric pressure level. Preferably, a protective inert gas, such as nitrogen, is inserted into the enclosure ( 3 ) containing the big bag container ( 2 ).
