For food and other products that have a "best by" date, packaging is almost as important to building customer satisfaction as quality and price. Take coffee, for example. Coffee requires packaging that protects it from vapor, odor, moisture, pests, light and air. In addition, coffee packaging should also lock in freshness, flavor and aroma, all features that make it one of America's favorite beverages. Pouches are probably the most effective form of packaging for products like coffee, none more so than stand up custom coffee bags.
Stand up custom coffee bags consist of multiple layers of special film that have been laminated together. Each bag is strong, durable, puncture-resistant yet still flexible. The bag barrier effectively keeps out what you want kept out and seals in what you want sealed in, especially when you incorporate the use of optional zip lock closures.
Stand up custom coffee bags are incredibly convenient to use. As the name suggests, they stand up on the shelf and, therefore, store neatly while saving space in the kitchen cupboard or pantry (many consumers don't know not to refrigerate coffee). Optional tear notches make opening the bags a snap without having to worry about the mess that often follows pulling too hard on the sides of most coffee bags. And we've already mentioned the zip lock closures, which are incredibly convenient as well.
Also known as standup print bags, Mylar® pouches and stand up pouches, stand up custom coffee bags provide some customizable marketing opportunities as well. Your brand will stand apart from the competition by standing up on the shelf. Round and sombrero-style hang holes provide grocers, retailers and coffee shops a display alternative. The wide front and back bag panels are ideal for your company labels, custom (of course) printing in up to 10 colors tailored to your needs, or a combination of both.
Unlike many other plastic/foil packaging bags, stand up bags are fairly eco-friendly. Yes, they consist of multiple film layers; however, they actually require up to 12 percent less material to make than most other packaging bags and most are recyclable.
