Coffee Bags | Coffee Packaging

Although often not emphasised enough, coffee packaging is very important. Without it, delicate beans quickly lose their flavour notes and strong, roasted blends lose the richness and depth of flavour they are known for. Even high quality coffee beans do not retain their aroma for long if not enclosed in the proper coffee bags.

Why coffee packaging matters?

Coffee lovers, cafes and coffee shops are truly countless out there both in Greece and abroad. Choosing the right coffee packaging is, therefore, essential whether we are talking about coffee stand bags or other types.

In short, the coffee bag is the packaging that keeps the coffee beans fresh by protecting them from various environmental conditions that ‘threaten’ them, such as light, oxygen and humidity that conspire against freshly roasted coffee.

Coffee packaging options

There are several types of packaging specifically designed for coffee – for example, heat seal bags – each with its own unique set of advantages.

You can find 11 different types of packaging for coffee such as:

• Central glue bag with pleats
• Flat bottom bag with zip or without zip
• Doypack bag with oval bottom with zip with valve or not
• Pillow small bag
• Sack packaging with flap
• Plastic bag with handle and folding
• Plastic bag with handle and pleats
• Biodegradable bag with pleats
• Roll packaging
• Paper bags
• Fabric bags

Here are the main types of coffee packaging and how they work, with Xenos Packaging’s signature style.

#1 Zipper

Zipper pouches – that is, with a zip closure (zipper) – are very easy to reclose after each use, thus preserving the freshness and rich aromas of your coffee. These plastic zipper bags are also an ideal way to advertise and promote your brand.

#2 Valve

Valved coffee bags are a great solution to protect your coffee from the risk of flavor deterioration and prevent it from swelling due to carbonation. In valve coffee bags, the valve itself helps the air get out of the package while keeping it from getting inside because it is one-way.

#3 Aluminium

Aluminum doy pack pouches are a safe choice for packaging coffee and help preserve aroma and freshness for a long time. Aluminum coffee pouches are high quality, flexible and preferred due to their great appearance on store shelves. Metal coffee packaging also makes it easier for consumers by giving them the option of reclosing the bag after each use. Combined, along with zip closure, they can be heat shrinkable and hermetically sealed.

#4 Doypack / Kraft

Doy pack kraft coffee bags are the perfect choice for long term coffee storage and preservation. Also, they are made of flexible material and due to their base they can stand upright on store shelves contributing to the visual enhancement of the product and differentiating it from other competitors through the window they have on the front side. Furthermore, doy pack bags are more environmentally friendly.
