Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

What Oxygen Absorber Does Jack Links Use In Jerky Packaging

Have you ever tried Jack Links beef jerky? They are probably the best jerky makers of the world. And it’s not just their jerky that is superior- take a look at their packaging. Jack Links jerky packets do not contain oxygen (if they would contain oxygen, your jerky would go bad really soon). While you might think that they suck out all the air to create vacuum, but that’s not true. Creating vacuum crumples up the beef jerky bag, which does not look very good. So what do they do? They use oxygen absorbers or scavengers.

There are many different oxygen absorbers in the market, and the number one company for them is Multisorb (and we don't get paid to say this). There are many other companies that produce cheap alternatives. You can choose them if you want, but it’s your product that you want to market. Without the right oxygen absorber, the jerky can go bad, and your customers can get sick. With the right type of scavenger, you can ship your products with confidence. You can check out Multisorb oxygen absorber packets and strips here.

To create the perfect packaging for your beef jerky, you need many other things as well. For example, the packet should be tough and strong. A barrier bag does the trick here. It is made of several layers laminated together that provide the pouch with the extra strength that it needs. With a strong package, you can rest assured that there is no wastage due to cuts and tears.

And lastly, to market your product, you need to have the right features. Many jerky traders prefer using pouches with little windows that let users see the jerky before buying it. And then there small hang holes in some pouches that let users hang their pouches in the kitchen. Apart from these features, the design and layout of the bag also play a big role in selling the product. When your product is lying on the store shelf beside your competitor’s product, it’s the design that attracts the customer and they pick the packet that looks the best.
