Reclosable Features for Meat Snack Packaging
Resealability plays a major role in maintaining freshness after opening, especially for jerky and multi-serve meat snack products. Reclosable packaging helps reduce food waste while improving the overall consumer experience.
Common reclosable features used in meat snack packaging include:
- Press to close zippers
- Pocket zippers to prevent product contamination in zipper tracks
- Double track zippers for added durability and security
- Easy tear openings combined with reseal functionality
Barrier and Film Performance for Meat Snacks
We engineer flexible meat snack packaging using laminated film structures and co-extruded films, along with specialty substrates designed to optimize performance at scale. Each structure is selected to balance barrier performance, manufacturability, and cost based on the specific application.
Our packaging solutions help protect against:
- Oxygen exposure that leads to spoilage
- Moisture ingress and texture degradation
- Grease migration and seal failure
- Flavor loss over extended shelf life
