Why Brands Choose Brand My Bags for Jerky Packaging
Six things a jerky brand can check before it spends a dollar with us.
Oak Park, Michigan
We own the pressesYour bags are printed on our own equipment in Oak Park, Michigan. Most "manufacturers" in this category are brokers reselling an overseas run — there is nobody between your file and our press.
500 bags
500 bags, not 5,000Most converters will not quote a jerky brand under 5,000 units. Quick Order starts at 500, with no plate fee and no setup fee, so a new flavor costs a few hundred dollars to test instead of a few thousand.
<0.02 g
Moisture balance, controlledToo dry and jerky turns tough; too moist and it risks mold. Our metallized film holds the internal humidity your recipe needs, so the texture on day 90 matches the texture on day 1.
<0.1 cc
Barrier that stops rancidityFat in jerky oxidizes when it meets air, which is what creates off-flavors. Opaque metallized film running under 0.1 cc/100in²/day of oxygen keeps that reaction from starting on the shelf.
Hang hole
Built for clip-strip displayJerky sells on impulse — gas stations, convenience stores, truck stops. A hang hole option puts your bag on the clip strip where jerky is actually bought, not just standing on a shelf.
7–10 days

Jerky packaging questions
What size bag do I need for 4 oz of jerky?
A 5" × 8" × 2.5" stand-up pouch is the standard retail jerky bag priced on this page — the 2.5 to 3.25 oz size most craft lines sell.
The 4″×6″×2″ suits a 2 oz gas-station single-serve, and the 6″×9″×3″ an 8 oz family-size bag — the same three plates most craft jerky lines run on.
Will the bag keep jerky from going tough or moldy?
Yes — metallized high-barrier film holds the moisture balance jerky needs, which is the difference between properly chewy and either bone-dry or moldy.
Too little moisture makes jerky tough and unpleasant; too much risks mold. The film's job is holding whatever balance your recipe was dried to.
Does mylar packaging stop jerky from going rancid?
Yes — our metallized film blocks oxygen at under 0.1 cc/100in²/day, which is what triggers the fat oxidation that causes off-flavors in dried meat.
Can I get a hang hole for clip-strip display?
Yes — a hang hole is a quoted add-on, since jerky is one of the categories that actually sells off a clip strip at checkout counters and gas stations.
What is the minimum order for custom jerky bags?
500 bags — most converters will not quote a jerky brand under 5,000 per run.
That difference is what makes testing a new flavor or marinade possible without committing to a run you have never sold a unit of.
How long does custom jerky packaging take?
About 7–10 business days from the day you approve your proof, because every bag is printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan.
