Coffee, Tea & Hot Drinks packaging.

Degassing valves, high barrier and a bag worth putting on a shelf.

What coffee, tea & hot drinks packaging has to do

Coffee is where flexible packaging earns its keep. Freshly roasted beans off-gas for days, oxygen flattens the cup, and light does the rest. We build high-barrier coffee packaging with one-way degassing valves and print that does justice to a roaster's brand.

One-way valves

Degassing valves fitted for whole bean and freshly ground lines.

Full light block

Metallised and opaque structures to protect aromatics and oils.

Resealable

Tin ties, zippers and pockets so the bag survives past the first brew.

Roaster-friendly runs

Single-origin and seasonal artwork economical at low volumes.

Formats we recommend for coffee, tea & hot drinks

A starting point rather than a rule. Tell us the product and the shelf life and we will confirm the structure with the quote. Numbered from 1 (most relevant) to least relevant.

Sizes we recommend

Starting dimensions for our most requested formats. Every product fills differently, so fill-test with your actual product before finalising. See all standard sizes.

Coffee beans

Whole roasted beans need enough room for their relatively bulky shape. For freshly roasted coffee, allow for a one-way degassing valve where required.

A. Stand-up pouch (SUP)

Net weightW × H × BG (mm)
100 g120 × 190 × 50
250 g150 × 230 × 80
350 g160 × 250 × 80
500 g180 × 265 × 100
1 kg230 × 320 × 110

B. Flat bottom / quad seal

Net weightW × H × BG (mm)
100 g100 × 160 × 60
250 g120 × 200 × 80
350 g125 × 220 × 80
500 g140 × 265 × 85
1 kg150 × 340 × 100

These are consistent with common references for 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg coffee bags, including stock flat bottom bags of around 120 × 200 mm for 250 g and 145–150 × 320–340 mm for 1 kg.

Coffee granules

Based on instant coffee granules, rather than whole beans or ground coffee. Granule size and bulk density vary by production method, so these are conservative starting sizes rather than assuming all granules pack densely.

250 g150 × 230 × 80

B. Flat bottom / quad seal

Net weightW × H × BG (mm)
100 g100 × 160 × 60
250 g120 × 200 × 80
350 g125 × 220 × 80
500 g140 × 265 × 85
1 kg150 × 340 × 100

Sizing note: freeze-dried or larger, irregular granules may need more space than finer spray-dried granules. Use the actual granules for a fill test before finalising the pouch.

Coffee powder (ground)

Ground coffee can pack more densely than whole beans, but grind size, roast and aeration affect the final volume. These sizes offer a slightly more compact option for the smaller weights while keeping practical headroom for filling and sealing.

A. Stand-up pouch (SUP)

Net weightW × H × BG (mm)
100 g100 × 160 × 50
250 g130 × 210 × 70
350 g140 × 230 × 80
500 g160 × 250 × 90
1 kg200 × 300 × 100

B. Flat bottom / quad seal

Net weightW × H × BG (mm)
100 g90 × 150 × 55
250 g110 × 190 × 75
350 g120 × 220 × 80
500 g125 × 260 × 85
1 kg140 × 320 × 100

The smaller sizes are provisional recommendations, not a claim that ground coffee always fits a smaller pouch than beans. If you are packing very fine, aerated or freshly ground coffee, test the larger bean-pouch size as well.
