Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

Food Packaging: How to Package Beef Jerky with Barrier Bags

Written by David Marinac | Jan 17, 2014 5:31:00 PM

Packaging for beef jerky can vary greatly from other types of food pouches packaging due to the way jerky looks, and the specific needs that this particular type of food product has. In one of our most popular YouTube videos, David Marinac explains the specific challenges that come with packaging beef jerky, and ways you can still help make your product the best available.

In the video found on YouTube here, David is quick to point out the most obvious difference between jerky packaging and other stand up pouch bags. While jerky can still use the barrier bags found with other types of products, it’s not stand up packaging that can sit on a store shelf. Bags are still a great option for jerky, and are what’s been traditionally used, and they can still be printed both custom and plain. However, some assume that because the bag will hang rather than stand, it should be vacuum-packed for maximum freshness, and that’s just not the case.

David explains further on the disadvantages of sealing jerky in a vacuum-packed bag throughout the video, and also offers other suggestions on how to keep your jerky fresh and looking its best.
