Coffee. The love affair Americans have with coffee is not a secret. Over 100 million Americans drink coffee every day and 24 percent of those drink 13 or more cups per week. This contributes to a rather eye-opening statistic: The American coffee drinker spends an average of just under $165 per year on coffee.

That's big business and a lot of coffee; in fact, over $4 billion worth of coffee is imported into the U.S. annually. And, as Hawaii is the only coffee production state, the U.S. imports almost all of its coffee. All of which points out the importance of coffee packaging. And stand up coffee pouches are the most effective, convenient and marketable coffee packaging available.

Stand up coffee pouches, also known as custom print bags, Mylar® coffee pouches and stand up bags, consist of multiple layers of specialty film which have been laminated together to create a barrier bag that is strong, durable, puncture-resistant, yet still flexible. The pouches are effective at guarding contents against vapor, odor, moisture, pests, light and air, if necessary. Combined with available zip lock pouches, stand up coffee pouches seal in freshness, flavor and aroma, thereby extending your brand's shelf life.

And speaking of shelf, stand up pouches do stand up on the shelf, which means they store conveniently in the kitchen cupboard or pantry. Another convenience feature is the optional tear notch which permits easy, mess-free opening. And, of course, no bag closure system is more convenient to use than the zip lock closures we've already mentioned.

When it comes to marketing your brand, stand up pouches are outstanding. Because they stand up on the shelf, your coffee will stand apart from the competition. Available round and sombrero-style hang holes offer grocers and other retailers a second display option.

Stand up pouches have wide front and back panels. These can be utilized to affix your company labels, for the direct application of printing, customized to your exact specifications, in up to 10 colors, or a combination of the two features.
