Coffee and Nescafe
Coffee Packaging Pouches
Coffee is one of the primary products offered in flexible packaging pouches. Given the diversity in its origins (Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Vietnam, etc.), varying aromas and flavors, different grinds, and its wide range of uses and consumption types, coffee represents the most diverse market for packaging pouches.
Key features of coffee packaging include:
- Vacuum-Sealable Pouches: Ideal for espresso coffee, preserving its freshness by preventing air exposure.
- Zippered Pouches: Suitable for coffee beans or ground coffee, ensuring the contents stay fresh after opening.
- Resistance to Light: Protects the coffee from UV light, which could affect its quality.
- Aroma and Flavor Retention: Prevents the loss of coffee’s distinctive aromas and flavors.
Packaging types for coffee include various laminations such as paper, aluminum, and polyethylene, which are specific to coffee packaging requirements. These materials help preserve the integrity and quality of the coffee.
Graphics and design play a significant role in coffee packaging. For example, a brand might separate its classic and gold offerings by using different background colors. Coffee packaging is one of the few products where all packaging service options, such as punching, zippers, valves, handles, rounded corner cuts, and easy open features, are commonly used.
