Filling clearance
The opening needs to accommodate the product without forcing pieces through or contaminating the seal area.
A bag that fits your product.
Custom dimensions for jerky strips, bites, sticks, and unusual fills. Share your current bag or start with the product and packing process.
Get sizing helpCustom printed. Starting at 500 pieces.
Send measurements we can work from.
Use one unit system and identify outer dimensions versus usable internal dimensions. If you are copying an existing pouch, a photo and drawing help us understand how it was measured.
Measure the usable space, too.
Outer width and height do not tell the whole story. Seals, zipper placement, and the base affect the room available for your jerky.
For stand-up pouches, include width, height, and base depth, plus the units and how the base was measured. For lay-flat packs, include width and height. Confirm the final drawing before artwork begins.
| Packaging | Measurements to send | Also include |
|---|---|---|
| Stand-up pouch | Width × height × base depth | Units, how the base was measured, zipper, and fill weight |
| Lay-flat pouch | Width × height | Seal widths if known, opening, product thickness, and fill weight |
| Die-cut pouch | Outer outline and proposed fill cavity | Shape artwork, opening, display method, and product photo |
| Meat-stick pack | Stick length × diameter and count | Individual wrapper or multipack, machine or hand packing |
| Rollstock | Web width and print repeat | Machine spec, unwind direction, core and maximum roll diameter |
A smaller bag is not always a better fit.
A tight fit may look efficient but create problems during filling or sealing. Review the whole pack instead of removing every bit of headspace.
Seal and zipper space
Keep the product clear of the sealing zone. Account for any zipper, tear notch, or header before finalizing usable space.
Filled presentation
Test how the pack stands, hangs, and handles. The bag’s appearance empty is not the same as its appearance after filling.
Validate before artwork becomes final.
A sensible sequence keeps sizing changes from forcing a last-minute redesign.
Establish the starting specification
Send measurements or product details, plus how you intend to pack and sell the jerky.
Discuss a sample or trial fill
Confirm what sample options are available and which dimensions need to be evaluated.
Use the approved production drawing
Once dimensions and features are settled, prepare artwork on the corresponding dieline.
