A cup of coffee adds much flavor to a monotonous day. But for coffee to be preserved in its delicious state, the quality coffee packaging is required.

There is a need for quality material, quality lamination, design and features that will maintain your coffee freshness.

When choosing Coffee Bags, there are vital factors that should guide your selection. You need to take note on:

Roasted coffee is very sensitive to moisture, light, odor, vapor, oxygen or any other form of contaminant.

After coffee beans are roasted, coffee beans do emit CO² (carbon dioxide) for a period of up to 7 days. If coffee bags are packed and sealed immediately after roasting, the CO2 gas emitted will make the coffee bags bust.

At RuiHong Packaging we understand customers are concerned about Quality, Quantity, Affordability, and Attractiveness (QQAA). Consumer purchasing habit has changed or somewhat shifted in the current market.

In connection to that, we have thought of a way to handle customer’s psychology. Such is by attracting them to products at first sight. Instead of luring them with cost and quality alone, we have invented beautiful, flexible coffee bags and pouches.

Such uniquely shaped pouches co-joined with quality rotogravure printing will undoubtedly impact your coffee product on the marketplace.

 

Chapter 3.5: Eco-friendly

Environmental pollution is one destructive act. It affects both human, plants and soil microorganisms. Every citizen must protect their environment by using biodegradable products.

Our flexible packaging pouches are eco-friendly. Meaning, they are less harmful to human beings and the environment. Do you wonder how? Here are the details:

Read on for more details add-on types and specifications.

 

Chapter 4.1: Degassing Valves

One among the vital add-ons needed for roasted coffee is the degassing valves. These valves act as vents through which excess air gets out though.

 

After roasting your coffee, there is a period of like seven days through which coffee beans produce CO2 gas. If you happen to package this your roasted coffee in Coffee Bags without degassing valves, they will surely bust due to air pressure.

Remember, these valves are one-way. They only allow the excess gas out but no gas gets into the pouches.

Here are some of the valve types we use:

 

Chapter4.1.1: Goglio Valves

Goglio investment group produces Goglio valves. They are made up of a viscous layer made up of silicone oil, polyethylene caps, flexible rubber discs, paper fillers, and polyethylene plate. These types of valves are assembled using Goglio machines and very effective. We use them due to their effectiveness.

 

Chapter4.1.2: Wipf valves

Wipf valves are also known as Wicovalves. We trust these types of valves on Coffee Bags due to their designing and how they work. They are developed technically using silicone oil membrane that opens and re-seals depending on pressure built inside a Coffee Bag. The silicone membrane opens when the pressure built gets to about three millibars and closes when the gas pressure inside the bag reduces to about 0.5millibars.

 

Chapter 4.2: Re-closable Ziplocks

It would not make sense thinking every consumer will use a whole pouch of coffee by a single use. With such a thought, we have various re-closeable zip locks that we can install in your flexible Coffee Bags.

 

These zip locks allow every user to open the coffee bags and re-close it again easily. The re-closing ability helps avoid coffee contamination which does not only affect human health but also lowers the coffee shelf lifespan.

Here are some of the ziplock types we use and their advantages.

 

Chapter 4.2.1: Zip-Pak Vector

Chapter 4.5: Tear Notch

Coffee Bags convenience and usability are not only needed for carrying and hanging; simplicity in pouch opening is vital too. That is why we fit tear notches on Coffee Bags.

Tearing notches are essential to ensure clean straight and ultra-clean coffee bags opening. The way these tear notches are designed; every consumer will be coaxed to initiate a tear action on the very part.

 

From the point where tear notches are, the paper material is patterned in such a way any tear will happen in a clean straight line.

Any Coffee Bags can be fitted with a tear notch to increase customer convenience and attraction.

 

Chapter 4.6: Glossy or Matt Finishing

Matt or gloss finishes on coffee papers are all meant for customer attraction. A glossy finish makes Coffee paper pouches surface glow or shine. On the other hand, matt finishing makes the paper surface look dull.

But both surface finishes have their benefits.

If you need pouches with an ultra-profession impression, matt finishing is the best alternative. Matt roughness makes bags look rough; natural and original.

Secondly, matt finishing helps your surface imprints become highly recognizable and avoids sunlight reflection which does blind human eyes. Lastly, matt finishing is cheap.

Glossy finishing makes your Coffee Bags shinny thus easily recognizable on crowded shelves. If you need your writing, images or logo designs to get shiny, gloss finishing will do that for you.

This add-on feature makes Coffee Bags very attractive.

 

Chapter 4.7: Clear Windows

When packaging coffee, one thing you should be sure of is coffee is not a new thing. People have come across different coffee grades. In connection to that, customers have invented another condition before coffee purchase.

 

Some need to see the content contained in every Coffee Bag. For that reason, flexible bags with clear windows are becoming popular any other day.

At RuiHong Packaging we manufacture different types of flexible Coffee Bags with transparent windows. We can produce coffee bags with transparent windows in different shapes and sizes.

Clear windows help to showcase the freshness condition and quality of the coffee beans or coffee powder.

This type of add-on is thus essential to help boost customer confidence. Customer will be attracted to your coffee products since they are sure of the kind of product they are buying.

 

Chapter 4.8: Ergonomic Handle

For customers who love to buy large coffee quantities, we have bigger Coffee Bags that can handle their demand as well.

But putting their carrying ability and convenience in mind, we have ergonomic handles for those large and small bags.

Ergonomic handles are designed to boost customer Coffee Bag carrying convenience. Regardless of the size or shape of the coffee bags you need, we have ergonomic handles of different sizes and styles too.

Chapter 4.9: Tin–Tie

Side gusseted Coffee Bags are becoming very popular. Especially for the quad seal Coffee Bags, block bottom aluminum foil pouches, and Kraft made Coffee Bags fitted with tin-ties for resealability reasons.

Among consumer-friendly packaging type of pouches, those pouches with tin-ties are much loved. This is because there is an option to reseal these pouches after every coffee beans or coffee powder pouring.

Tin-ties will help you avoid coffee contamination. Lastly, there are various tin tie colors and sizes. Choose any and we will have them on your pouches

 

Chapter 4.10: Laser Scoring

Laser scoring add-ons work the same way as Coffee Bag tear notches. If you need Coffee Bags that are easy to open, then laser scoring add-ons are the way to go.
