Printed Paper Bags

Custom Jerky Bags

Jerky is preserved by having its moisture removed, so the one thing packaging must not do is let moisture back in. Everything else follows from that.

It is also sold at ambient temperature with a long shelf life, which puts more demand on the barrier than a chilled product would.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Jerky Bags

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Moisture Is the Whole Enemy

Dried meat that takes up moisture goes soft and its shelf life collapses. A barrier that would be adequate for a chilled product sold within days is not enough here.

Ambient distribution also means the pack may sit in a warm van or a sunny shelf, which tests it further.

Fresh meat has the opposite problem, covered on chilled meat packaging.

What a Jerky Pack Needs

A moisture barrier suited to a long ambient shelf life.
A reseal, since jerky is eaten over several sittings.
A stand-up format, which sells better on a counter display.
A hanging option, for the clip strips used at tills.

Point-of-sale placement often decides the format, so say where the product will hang or stand.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Jerky Bags: Common Questions

How long does jerky packaging need to protect for?

That depends on the shelf life you are declaring, which is your decision based on your own product testing. Tell us the target and we will specify a barrier against it.

Should the bag hang or stand?

It depends where it is sold. Clip strips at a till need a hanging hole; a counter display works better with a stand-up base. Some brands specify both.

How long must the barrier protect for?

That depends on the shelf life you declare, which comes from your own product testing. Tell us the target and we specify against it.

Why is moisture the main risk?

Because jerky is preserved by having its moisture removed. Any that gets back in softens it and collapses the shelf life.

Does ambient distribution change anything?

It makes the barrier work harder, since the pack may sit in a warm van or a sunny shelf rather than a chiller.

Should the bag reseal?

Yes. Jerky is eaten over several sittings, and a pack that cannot be reclosed loses condition quickly.

Can we run several flavours?

On digital printing, yes, which suits a range. Send the quantity of each rather than a combined total.

Should there be a window?

It shows the product, which sells it. It also lets light in, so many brands print an image instead.

What size suits retail?

Small, matched to your price bands. Jerky is sold in modest weights at a relatively high price per gram.

Can we order a hanging and a standing version?

Yes, and some brands need both for different retail placements. Send the split between them.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
