As a powdered product, coffee is very airborne, and if it gets wet, it will solidify. Therefore, the requirements for coffee packaging are very strict, and must meet the characteristics of high sealing, moisture-proof, and dust-proof.
At present, heat-sealed aluminum foil composite packaging is commonly used. The typical structure is PET/aluminum foil/PE composite structure. The inner layer of PE film provides heat sealability, the aluminum foil provides barrier properties, and the outer layer of PET protects the aluminum foil as the substrate. When the requirements are low, the middle aluminum foil can also be replaced by aluminized film.
In addition, there are also high requirements for information printing on coffee packaging.
- Brand name: Brand is an important basis for consumers to choose coffee.
- Origin: This is an important basis for classifying coffee. The origin label of coffee is very similar to that of red wine, and the name of the origin is usually printed on the packaging. Although some traditional origin labels are not accurate, they still have certain reference value.
- Weight: There are certain standards for the weight of coffee packaging within the industry. In the United States, the weight of coffee bags is usually 16 ounces (454 grams), but now most manufacturers will choose 12 ounces, 10 ounces, 8 ounces, or even 4 ounces of packaging. By weight, you can infer the quality and value of the coffee. 3. Typically, boutique roasters with micro-batch roasts produce smaller bags of coffee, which means the coffee is of good value and quality.
- Packing date: Packing date is very important for coffee packaging. The best shelf life of sealed coffee is usually 2-5 weeks; if a single vent is added, the shelf life of coffee can be extended to several months. Our principle is: the fresher the coffee, the better, so when buying coffee, be sure to pay attention to the date on the package.
- Uses: Sometimes the coffee packaging will indicate the purpose of the coffee. In the past, most people drank filter coffee at home, so manufacturers sometimes deliberately marked the word “espresso” for consumers’ reference. Today, specialty coffee has abandoned the unified roasting mode of the past. Whether it is “drip filter” or “espresso”, you can choose the brewing method according to your taste preferences.
