About beef Jerky names

A jerky business needs names at three levels, and this list is built the same way. The brand goes across the top of every bag: Broken Spur Jerky Co., Saddlebag Provisions, Bent Nail Smokehouse. Ranch, trail and smokehouse words carry most of these, because jerky sells as food for the road and the saddlebag. Endings such as Co., Provisions, Smokehouse and Jerky Works tell a shopper what kind of maker you are.

The second level is the flavor on a single bag. Most jerky flavors name the wood, the seasoning or the heat, as in Hickory Brown Sugar, Cracked Black Pepper, Pineapple Teriyaki and High Noon Habanero. The third level is the cut or format: Thick Cut Slab, Brisket Flat Strips, Steak Bites, Snack Sticks Original. A share of the list covers other dried meats, including South African biltong and droëwors, Mexican carne seca and machaca, and game such as venison, elk and bison.

The rest is for small makers and for fun. Names like Saturday Market Jerky and Garage Smoker Jerky suit a farmers-market stall, hunting-camp names such as Deer Camp Jerky suit a game processor, and wordplay like Worth the Chew and Chews Wisely works on a sticker or a shirt.

How to choose beef Jerky names

  • Pick the brand first and keep it wide. Rimrock Jerky Co. can sell beef, turkey and elk under one name, while a brand with Beef in it will sit oddly on a venison bag.
  • Let the flavor name do one job. Wood, seasoning or heat level is enough: Mesquite Lime, Garlic Black Pepper, Slow Burn. A shopper gives a bag only a glance.
  • Say what is in the bag. Use biltong, carne seca, brisket or a smoke wood in a name only if the product is made that way, and name a game animal only if that meat is in it.
  • Leave claims out of the name. Words about health, diet or sourcing on a meat label can be regulated, so describe taste and cut instead.
  • Check the name before you print. Search it among snack brands in the places you sell, and read the label rules for meat products where you make it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a beef jerky business?

Names that sound like a place or an outfit work well, because jerky is sold as trail and ranch food. Broken Spur Jerky Co., High Lonesome Jerky Co., Packhorse Provisions and Stone Chimney Smokehouse all leave room for many flavors under one brand. For a market stall, a plain name such as Back Porch Jerky or Two Tray Jerky says small batch without making any claims.

How do I name a jerky flavor?

Start with the strongest thing a customer will taste and name it directly: Hickory Brown Sugar, Honey Chipotle, Sesame Teriyaki. For hot flavors, a heat word such as Slow Burn, Wildfire Hot or Ghost Pepper Dare tells people what they are in for. Keep one naming style across the range so the bags look like a family.

Does the list include biltong and other dried meats?

Yes. There are biltong and droëwors names such as Peri-Peri Biltong, Biltong Slab and Garlic Droëwors, carne seca and machaca names, and game names like Wapiti Ridge Elk Strips and Whitetail Hollow Venison Jerky. Use them only for products that are made in that style or from that meat.

Can I use one of these names for a product I sell?

Treat the list as ideas. Before you order bags or labels, check the name yourself against existing snack and meat brands where you plan to sell, and read the labeling rules that apply to meat products in your state or country.
