Absolutely. We offer one-way degassing valves (the most common for coffee) that release CO2 without letting oxygen in, preserving coffee freshness for up to 12 months. Valves can be customized in size (3mm/5mm) and placement (top/bottom of the pouch), and we integrate valve installation into our production line with 55 specialized machines for precise positioning.
We use 4 professional printing lines (including 11-color printing machine – rare in the industry) with high-precision gravure printing technology. Our 8-person design team pre-tests color matching, and our quality inspection team uses specialized equipment to check color consistency (ΔE < 2) across the entire production batch, ensuring your brand colors are reproduced accurately every time.
Our coffee packaging materials (aluminium foil composite) provide 12-18 months of shelf life protection when sealed properly, with oxygen transmission rate (OTR) < 0.5 cc/m²/day and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) < 0.3 g/m²/day. This ensures coffee stays fresh, aromatic, and free from oxidation throughout its shelf life.
Pet Food Packaging Bags FAQ
For dry pet food: flat bottom pouches, stand up pouches with zippers (resealable) are ideal for freshness retention. For wet pet food: vacuum seal bags, spout pouches (easy to squeeze) with high barrier properties. We have 55 production machines including flat bottom pouch machines, stand up pouch machines, and vacuum bag machines to meet all your pet food packaging needs.
Sample production: 3-5 working days (custom samples). Mass production: 15-20 working days after sample confirmation (depending on order quantity). As a source factory with 4 printing lines (7/8/9/11 color machines) and 55 production machines, we can handle large orders efficiently – our annual sales volume reaches $1.2M-$1.5M USD, proving our production capacity.

We use food-grade inks that do not fade or migrate, and our design team can optimize your artwork to ensure legibility and brand consistency across all pouch sizes.
Yes, we provide compostable PLA materials, recyclable PP/PE composites, and kraft paper-based pouches for pet food packaging. These eco-friendly options maintain the same barrier properties as traditional materials (moisture-proof, odor-proof) while reducing environmental impact. We can also provide eco-label printing to highlight your brand's sustainability efforts.
Our QC process includes: 1) Incoming material inspection (material composition, thickness, barrier properties); 2) In-process inspection (seal strength, zipper performance, print accuracy); 3) Final inspection (AQL 2.5 standard, leak test, puncture resistance test). We use 6 specialized quality inspection machines to ensure less than 0.1% defective rate for bulk orders.
Tea Packaging Bags FAQ
The best options for tea packaging are aluminium foil pouches (100% light-proof and oxygen-proof), vacuum seal bags, and stand up pouches with one-way degassing valves. We use food-grade, odorless materials to ensure no impact on tea flavor, and our 11-color printing technology (rare in the industry) allows for high-precision brand printing without compromising barrier performance.
Yes, we offer full customization for all sizes – from small single-serve tea bags (5g-10g) to large packaging rolls (width up to 1200mm) for automatic filling machines. Our production line includes 4 Baihe slitting machines and 3 solvent-free laminators to produce high-quality packaging rolls with consistent thickness and barrier properties, suitable for tea factories' automated production lines.
Absolutely. All our tea packaging materials undergo deodorization treatment during production, and we test each batch for residual odors using sensory evaluation and gas chromatography. Our materials are 100% odorless, ensuring the natural aroma and flavor of tea are not altered, even during long-term storage (up to 24 months).
Our tea packaging complies with FDA (US), EU 10/2011, LFGB (Germany), and GB 4806 (China) food contact standards. We can provide third-party test reports for heavy metals, migration, and sensory properties upon request, ensuring your tea products meet import requirements for global markets (US, EU, Australia, Japan, etc.).
Yes. We offer food-grade press-seal and sliding zippers for tea pouches, which can be opened and closed over 50 times without losing airtightness. The zippers are integrated into stand up pouches, flat bottom pouches, and eight side seal pouches, allowing consumers to preserve tea freshness after opening – ideal for loose-leaf tea and bulk tea products.
Custom sample production: 3-5 working days (including design adjustment and printing). Mass production: 12-18 working days for orders under 500,000 units, 20-25 working days for large orders (1M+ units).

Juice Pouches FAQ
Our juice spout pouches are designed with heat-sealed edges (seal strength > 50N/15mm) and high-quality food-grade spouts to ensure 100% leak-proof performance. We use multi-layer composite materials (PET/AL/PE) with excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties, which can extend the shelf life of juice up to 12 months (depending on sterilization method). All liquid packaging is tested for leakage under 1.5 bar pressure for 24 hours.
Yes, we support full capacity customization from 50ml (for kids' juice) to 2000ml (family-sized packs). We have standard molds for common capacities (100ml, 250ml, 500ml) to reduce sample costs, and can also produce custom molds for special capacities (minimum order for custom molds: 500,000 units). All pouches are designed to fit standard filling machines for easy integration into your production line.
Yes. Hot-fill juice pouches use heat-resistant BOPA/PP materials that can withstand filling temperatures up to 85°C without deformation, and we test each batch for heat resistance (holding at 90°C for 30 minutes). Cold-fill pouches use PET/PE composites optimized for low-temperature filling (0-4°C) with enhanced barrier properties for refrigerated juice products (e.g. fresh squeezed juice).
For ambient-stored juice (pasteurized): our pouches provide 12 months of shelf life with oxygen barrier (OTR < 0.3 cc/m²/day). For refrigerated juice (cold-fill): 3-6 months of shelf life with MVTR < 0.2 g/m²/day. We can also provide retort pouches (for high-temperature sterilization) that extend shelf life to 18 months without refrigeration.
Yes. We offer multiple anti-counterfeiting features: 1) UV invisible printing (only visible under UV light); 2) micro-text printing (smaller than 0.5mm, hard to replicate); 3) QR code printing with traceability data (linked to your product batch information). Our 11-color printing machine can integrate these features without additional cost for bulk orders.
