Custom Beef Jerky Packaging Bags

Types of Available Beef Jerky Packaging 

When it comes to beef jerky, packaging plays a big role in keeping it fresh and appealing. We offer multiple packaging types designed to meet different shelf-life needs, branding goals, and selling channels.

Heat Sealed Pouches with Oxygen Absorbers 

These high-barrier Mylar pouches are designed to protect beef jerky from moisture, oxygen, and UV light, three main causes of spoilage. 

Available in clear-sided (vista) or windowed styles, they make it easy for customers to see the product inside. Features like reclosable zippers, tear notches, and hang holes support both convenience and retail display. 

When paired with StayFresh Oxygen Absorbers, these pouches help extend shelf life, preserve texture, and maintain flavor without refrigeration. Custom sizes and printed designs are also available.

Vacuum Sealed Pouches 

Vacuum sealed pouches offer a clean, tight seal that removes oxygen without needing absorber packets, though some brands still include them for added protection. Made from food-grade films, these pouches hold a strong vacuum and keep jerky visible through clear packaging. Options include reclosable zippers, tear notches, hang holes, and custom printing. Vista, windowed, and opaque styles are also available for brands looking to tailor the look while keeping product freshness a priority.

Custom Printed Pouches For Jerky 

If you’re aiming to stand out on the shelf, custom-printed pouches are the way to go. We offer full design flexibility, from vacuum pouches with windows and vertical tear notches to kraft paper bags with custom graphics. 

Whether you want label-ready options or a completely custom build, we can create packaging that fits your brand and product needs.

Optimize Your Beef Jerky Packaging Bags Design with These Essential Features

Make your packaging work harder with features that protect freshness, support ease of use, and elevate product appeal.

High-Barrier Films
These films act as a strong defense against oxygen, moisture, and odor—key factors that affect jerky’s shelf life and quality. By keeping air and external elements out, they help preserve taste, texture, and aroma for longer.

Reseal-ability
Adding a press-to-close zipper lets customers open and reseal the pouch without losing freshness. It also supports portion control and improves the overall user experience—especially for multi-serving packs.

Windows
A clear or frosted window gives customers a preview of the product inside, helping build trust and encouraging purchase. It’s an easy way to showcase quality without opening the bag.

Tear Notches
This small addition makes opening easier and cleaner—no scissors or mess. Tear notches improve usability while keeping the packaging sealed until it’s meant to be opened.

Spot Embellishments
Use spot gloss or foil to highlight logos, product names, or key visuals. It draws attention where it matters and gives the package a more premium, shelf-ready appearance.

Peel-able Films
Peel-able layers help maintain product integrity while allowing easy opening. These films are flexible for different packaging systems, including flow wrap and horizontal form-fill-seal setups, making them ideal for co-packers and automated lines.
