Chapter 5.7: Vacuum Coffee Bags

If you need top-notch coffee product preservation, vacuum pouches are the go. These are bag types made up of multilayers to create a sound barrier.

The laminated material film used in vacuum pouches manufacturing provides a barrier to keep off oxygen, odor, and moisture and to give a perfect aroma entrapping. That same material makes these bags strong enough to resist any puncture.

When sealing vacuum Coffee Bags, vacuum sealers are used to suck the air out of the bag. Such makes it is possible for these bags to keep coffee fresh from an extended period not to forget aroma and taste preservation.

Lastly, by using these cost-effective Coffee Bags, your products will be safe from degeneration, corrosion, oxidation, and spoilage.

 

Chapter 5.8: Coffee Spout Pouches

Are you in need of user-friendly and flexible Coffee Bags, spout Coffee Bags are the best. They are perfect for carrying liquid coffee.

Spout pouches are characterized by a reclosable cap and a welded spout. One of the main reasons these Coffee Bags stand out is their ability to control liquid coffee spillage.

Secondly, they have a firm bottom setting that helps them rest on any shelf or table firmly. Such avoid spillage and adds on customer friendliness.

These pouches are made up of laminated material films which are strong enough and can avoid puncture. They are lightweight and easy to store and transport in comparison to other plastic spout pouches.

Depending on your intended sprout Coffee Bag usage, we manufacture them in different styles, shapes, and sizes. All this is geared toward customer convenience.

Lastly, it is possible to have different add-ons such as hanging holes on these pouches.

 

Chapter 6:  Material Choice

As you think of flexible coffee packaging, you need facts to guide you. Coffee beans, coffee powder and liquid type of coffee need Coffee Bags, bags or packaging equipment that will provide a perfect coffee micro-environment.

A perfect micro-environment is one that will bar off oxygen, moisture, preserve taste, entrap coffee aroma and allow escape of natural gasses produced by roasted coffee.

At RuiHong Packaging Bags and Pouches Company, your wish is our command. The Coffee Bags we manufacture are well designed and constructed using the lasted technology.

 

 

Our Coffee Bags are made of laminated film material which is extremely durable, puncture proof, lightweight, superior in barrier provision, heat sealable and lastly able to provide ample surface form making logo, brands, and informative imprints.

Apart from perfect packaging, coffee markets are very competitive. You need to choose your Coffee Bags carefully. The materials used is a critical component in your marketing strategy.

Good imprints will be attractive to customers and make your product stand out on any coffee shelve. Is that not what you need to surpass the coffee market competition?

On every Coffee Bag that we produce, we use laminated films in response to your requirement and pouch usage.

For example, we have the following types of laminated films:

1. Clear material structures
2. Kraft paper film structures
3. Metalized material structures
4. Aluminum film material

Some of the most common material structures are:

1. PET/PETAL/PE
2. PET/AL/PE
3. Kraft paper/AL/PE
4. MATTBOPP/Kraft paper/AL/PE

 

Our material selection is based on the properties required to be in your Coffee Bags. The specifications you provide us are the ones that guide our film structure formation.

Chapter 7.2: Product Testing and Quality Assurance

Regardless of the Coffee Bag specification and usage, we are determined to provide you with quality pouches that will keep you coffee powder, beans or liquid safe.

That is why our production and quality assurance is divided into three levels. Although we cannot promise 0% Coffee Bag defects, we are cautious not to surpass the 2% defect level.

Our defect levels are divided into three categories which help us determine what is acceptable and what is not. Below is their explanation.

1.Critical defects that make Coffee Bagsunfit for use

2.The major defect that we always rectify

3.Minor defects which are negligible and do not rule our Coffee Bagsunfit for use.

But to avoid all that, below are our quality assurance stages.

1.In-line Inspection For Quality Assurance

Three engineers control our inline inspection at any time our machines are running. After feeding laminated material films into Coffee Bag manufacturing machines, we do not let them alone.

We always have engineers to watch over the process. When any defect is detected in the production process, our engineers make sure they correct in time

 

2.Final inspection

After the Coffee Bags are manufactured, we do test them again. This step helps use rectify those mistakes that went unnoticed in the production stage inspection stage.

Below are the final stage inspections.

 

3.Tensile testing

For use to be sure that our pouches will be strong enough to resist puncture and paper tear. If they pass this stage, then we are sure they will be good for the tough shelf environment and transportation.

 

4.Gloss meter

This testing checks the gloss level of the film structure

 

5.Octagon

Octagon testing measures the thickness of the pouches we provide.

 

6.Density gradient column

This helps in determining the density of the material used

 

7.Heat seal testing

Coffee Bags are heat sealed something that helps them keep the packaged content free from moisture, oxidation, odor and perfect aroma entrapping. Our testing is thus geared to determine how reliable the seals are. If they can resist cutting strength to our accepted level, then we begin the next stage.

 

8.Friction coefficient testing

This testing helps us determine how well our pouches can resist sliding on any shelf. Good friction levels help our customers avoid losses due to Coffee Bags falling due to bag bursting after falling off the shelves.

 

9.Gas chromatograph testing

This kind of testing helps us provide our customers with Coffee Bags with aroma entrapping and oxygen barring qualities.

 

10.Packaging/Outgoing inspection
