Beef jerky is one of the most loved meat products around the world. It is very important to use high quality beef jerky packaging to maintain the meat’s freshness right from the factory to the consumer’s shelf. New age packaging ways like barrier bags ensure that the freshness and flavor of the beef jerky remain intact.

A barrier bag can be traditionally called a standup pouch. However it has a few differences. Made in a similar way, the barrier bag has several barrier layers made from food grade film. These barriers give strength to the package to protect it from external damage and provide secure packing. These barriers lock out the moisture in the pack and keep the meat safe from developing odor. A standup pouch does all that and looks extremely stylish. Plus there are different types of standup pouches to choose from.

To keep the meat fresher for longer, manufacturers remove oxygen from the packaging. Creating vacuum in the bag removes the oxygen and moisture, but it tends to crumple the plastic pouch and make it appear unappealing. Another alternative is to use oxygen absorbers which come in small pouches. These absorbers suck out the oxygen without crumpling the package. Therefore, new age flat barrier packaging is much more effective for packaging beef jerky.
