What Kind of Packaging Bag is Suitable for Roasting Coffee Beans?

内容目录

There are many factors that affect the taste of coffee beans such as the origin of the beans, the roaster’s skill, and the storage environment. However, it is often overlooked that packaging also has a great impact on the taste of coffee beans. Excellent coffee packaging bags can not only enhance the brand’s effect, but also ensure the quality of coffee beans, enhancing a brand’s image and quality.

So how does one choose the right coffee packaging bag? This decision should consider three main aspects: bag type, accessories, and material.

Bag Type

The shape of the bag and the packaging’s design are what the consumer first sees. This makes bag choice very important. Often, the first step for many coffee roasters in cooperation with us is to confirm their desired bag type. There are three common bag types in coffee packaging bags: the gusseted bag, the flat bottom pouch, and the stand-up pouch.

The Gusseted bag

The Gusseted bag is one of the more classic coffee bags. It is the first bag type used in the packaging of roasted coffee beans. Its advantages include:

1. Much cheaper than most other bag types.

2. After the gusseted bag is filled with coffee beans, the bottom will be flat and can stand upright without any support, which is very beneficial for display.

3. Larger volume capacity. It’s heat-sealed edge on the bottom allows it to take up less space when full.

The Stand-up Pouch

The stand-up pouch is the most widely used bag type in food packaging. It is also a very popular bag in the coffee industry. The bottom part of a stand-up pouch is gusseted to provide support for display or during use. Its advantages are as follows:

1. The price is also relatively cheap.

2. The bottom design makes the bag more stable.

3. Contains a resealable zipper.

However, the stand-up pouch also has its disadvantages. The printing display surface has only two sides and its volume capacity is smaller. If you want to hold 1.5kg or more of coffee beans, the stand-up pouch is not as suitable as other bag types.

Flat Bottom Pouch

The flat bottom pouch is a five-sided freestanding pouch with a flat rectangular base. The flat bottom pouch is so popular because it combines the advantages of the Gusseted bag and the advantages of the stand-up pouch into its own unique style. In addition to being very elegant, the flat bottom pouch has many other advantages:

1. The stability is the best among all of the bag types. This makes the flat bottom pouch stand out in terms of stability because it has a full flat rectangular bottom.

2. The flat bottom pouch has 5 complete printing surfaces. By giving coffee roasters more advertising space, you can print more of the message you want to convey to consumers.

3. Large capacity. A flat bottom pouch is comparable to a gusseted bag in terms of capacity. You can customize a small flat bottom pouch that can only hold 75g of coffee beans, or a large flat bottom pouch that can hold 1.5kg.

If there is one disadvantage that must be mentioned, it may be that the price is slightly more expensive. The packaging bag itself is not very expensive, mainly the amount of design chosen. If you have more designs, the price will rise accordingly.

Accessories

Coffee bag accessories are very simple. There are three main types:

1. One-way air valves are a necessary accessory for coffee bags. Coffee beans continuously generate CO₂ in the packaging bag. These gases need to be expelled without letting air into the bag. Otherwise, the taste of coffee beans will deteriorate.

2. The zipper is used for all bag types other than the gusseted bag. There are normal zippers and side zippers. No matter which zipper is used, it is convenient for consumers to reseal the coffee bag to ensure that the quality of the taste of coffee beans does not degrade.

3. Tin Tie: Tin Ties are mainly used for gusseted bags, allowing the bags to become resealable.

Materials

Coffee bean bags must be sealed during storage. In addition to ensuring food safety, the materials of coffee bags must also have excellent insulation. The two most commonly used materials for coffee bag layouts are aluminum foil and VMPET (aluminum plating).

Aluminum foil is a layer of metal film. Aluminum foil has very good insulation and is recommended for long-term storage. Aluminum foil can be used in addition to kraft paper or plastic.

VMPET: There is an aluminum coating layer inside the plastic film. Its insulation is second only to aluminum foil. It is also a commonly used material for coffee packaging bags, which has a very good insulation against water and air.

There is also a biodegradable material, NKME, which acts as an insulating layer material with metallic luster.
