Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine (1), comprising a deep-drawing station (2), which forms packaging wells in a material web (8), and a sealing station (19), which bonds a top material web to the material web, wherein before the bonded connection the packaging well is degassed and/or gassed, and a cutting unit, which separates the packagings thus produced from the material webs. The invention further relates to a method for producing a packaging, in which a material web is transported in cycles along a packaging machine, and during each cycle one or more packaging wells are formed in the material web and the packaging well is then filled with a product to be packaged, and then a cover film is sealed onto the packaging well, wherein before sealing a vacuum is drawn and/or a gas exchange is carried out in the packaging well.
