Bartelt Packaging delivers purpose-built solutions for the beef jerky industry, focusing on shelf life, consistent fill, high-speed throughput, and production flexibility.
Key Considerations for Beef Jerky Packaging
Beef jerky packaging presents unique challenges due to product shape, oxygen sensitivity, and the need for fast, accurate fill.
Key priorities for packaging include:
- Oxygen Reduction for Freshness: Preventing oxidation is critical to extending shelf life and maintaining flavor.
- Consistent Product Settling: Irregular shapes make even distribution challenging but essential for seal integrity and visual appeal.
- High-Speed Filling: Producers need fast, efficient filling that keeps pace with demand.
- Flexible Changeovers: Switching between product types or pouch sizes must be fast and seamless.
