Custom packaging for jerky and meat snacks

Beef Jerky & Meat Snack Packaging

Jerky has sharp edges, residual moisture and oils, and is often packed with oxygen absorbers. Those conditions are hard on thin films and weak seals. We specify barrier, film thickness and seal design to handle the product through filling, shipping and repeated opening.

What the package must do

Specified around the product, not a catalog.

Product sensitivity, filling method, shelf presentation, distribution and order profile all shape the format and material structure we recommend.

Oxygen & moisture barrier

High-barrier laminations can be compared for products relying on low oxygen and controlled water activity.

Puncture resistance

Nylon-containing or heavier structures can be considered where sharp pieces risk pinholes.

Robust seals & zipper

Seal width and sealant selection are reviewed for oily products, with zipper and tear-notch options for multi-serve packs.

Technical considerations

Questions we work through with your team.

Pinholes: Pinholes quietly break the barrier. Product shape and pack size inform the puncture-resistance choice.
Oxygen absorbers: If you use absorbers, an adequate oxygen barrier matters for them to work as intended.
Oil in the seal: Marinades and fats can reach the seal area. Sealant choice can help maintain seal strength.
Window use: Shoppers like to see the product; we weigh window size against barrier and light exposure.
