The fisheries produced are utilized by the surrounding community to become processed fish products. Vacuum packaging techniques are currently trending packaging, especially for processed fish-based products. Processed fish products, especially in the Olak Kemang Village community, are only packaged using non-vacuum packaging so that they have a short shelf life and their sales are still only around Jambi province, so it is necessary to socialize the application of vacuum seal technology to increase the durability of processed products and modern packaging designs. The purpose of community service is to socialize to the community how to use a vacuum sealer on processed products, especially processed products in the fisheries sector.
