In the coffee industry, coffee bag packaging can be said to be the most common and traditional form of coffee packaging. In this article, we will introduce you four common types of coffee bags, which are popular in the common coffee industry.
First, let’s learn some common features of coffee bags.
The first is the zipper, The function of the zipper is to help the coffee bag to be used repeatedly for sealing. Zippers are generally divided into two types, butterfly zipper (also called bone zipper) and ordinary zipper. You can choose to customize both of them.
Then comes the material, usually we will recommend matte OPP/VMPE/PE（thickness 150mic） or Kraft paper/VMPE/PE（thickness 140mic）. Also they can add one-way valve and tin tie.
The advantage of the one-way valve is to prevent oxidation and prevent the bag from bursting: discharge the carbon dioxide released by the coffee beans, and avoid the peculiar smell caused by the oxidation of the oil! This is very important for the coffee storing safety. We think the quality of the valve is quite important, since if one valve is broken, then the whole bag’s coffee will be wasted. That’s a huge lost for all of us.
The tin tie effectively blocks most of the air and keeps the product in the package relatively sealed. The function is matched with the zipper, like the supporter for the zipper which can protect the coffee aroma better.
That’s all of the common features of coffee bags. Let’s move to our bag types.
