Materials
The right film depends on what you’re packing, how long it needs to stay fresh and where it’s sold.
- PET / AL / PE laminatethe classic Mylar structure, with an aluminum layer that blocks light, oxygen and moisture.
- Metallized PETa lighter, cost-effective metallic barrier.
- Kraft paper laminatea natural look outside with a foil barrier inside.
- Clear PET / PEhigh-clarity film for showing the product.
Printing and finishes
We print custom beef jerky packaging bags with digital or rotogravure printing, depending on quantity. Digital is ideal for short runs and many designs; rotogravure gives the lowest unit cost on large runs.
Finishes include matte, gloss and soft-touch lamination, spot gloss, metallic and holographic films, white ink underprinting on clear and foil films, and clear windows in custom shapes.
Design ideas
Ideas that work especially well for beef jerky:
- Show the jerky through a window.
- Use rugged browns.
- Print flavor heat levels.
- Add an oxygen absorber note.
Not sure where to start? Tell us what you're packing, the fill weight and where it's sold, and we'll recommend a size, film and finish in your free quote. Our most requested sizes for custom beef jerky packaging bags are 1 oz (4 x 6 in), 2.5 oz (5 x 8 x 3 in) and 4 oz (6 x 9 x 3.5 in). Smaller sizes suit samples and trial packs, the middle size usually fits your core product, and larger sizes work for family packs, bulk and wholesale. Because density varies, we always recommend testing your actual fill before printing. Fill custom beef jerky packaging bags through the top before sealing, leaving at least 1 inch above the zipper. For the strongest closure, use an impulse or band heat sealer set to the temperature recommended for your film. If you're using oxygen absorbers or desiccants, add them just before sealing, and store finished bags away from direct sunlight and heat.
Protection and performance
Flexible packaging has to protect against oxygen, moisture, light and punctures. For custom beef jerky packaging bags, we usually recommend high-barrier films and windows, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your beef jerky. Sharp or heavy products may need a thicker gauge; aromatic products need a high-barrier, smell-resistant structure. Tell us what you're packing and we'll suggest the right build. Packaged foods sold in the US generally need a product name, net quantity, ingredient list, allergen information, manufacturer details and often a Nutrition Facts panel. Our food-contact films are suitable for dry and many moist foods; confirm requirements for your product with a regulatory advisor.
- High-barrier films: blocks oxygen, moisture and light to extend shelf life.
- Windows: lets shoppers see the product, building trust.
- Zippers: lets customers reopen and reseal the bag, keeping contents fresh.
