Custom Coffee Bags printed for a UK food business

Printed Paper Bags

Custom Printed Coffee Bags

Roasted coffee releases carbon dioxide for days after roasting. Sealed in a bag with nowhere for it to go, the bag inflates and eventually splits.

That is why coffee packaging has a one-way valve, and it is the detail that separates coffee bags from every other bag here.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Coffee Bags

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

The Valve Lets Gas Out Without Letting Air In

A one-way valve releases the carbon dioxide from fresh roast while keeping oxygen out, which is what would stale the coffee.

Bagging fresh coffee without one means either inflated bags on the shelf or waiting days before packing, and neither suits a working roastery.

Tea has different requirements again, covered on packaging for loose tea.

What a Retail Coffee Bag Has to Carry

Origin, roast date and roast level, which speciality buyers look for.
Weight, ingredients and business details as required for retail.
A barcode on a flat panel that scans reliably.
A resealable closure, since a bag is opened many times before it is finished.

Roast date changes with every batch, so leave a clear area for it rather than printing it.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Coffee Bags: Common Questions

Do we need a valve in the bag?

For freshly roasted coffee, effectively yes. Without one the bag inflates from the gas the coffee releases, and the alternative is waiting several days before packing.

How should we mark the roast date?

Leave a clear panel and apply it per batch, rather than printing it. Roast date changes constantly and printing it would mean a new run every time.

Do we need a valve?

For freshly roasted coffee, effectively yes. Without one the bag inflates from the gas the beans release.

Should the bag reseal?

Yes. A bag is opened many times before it is finished, and a closure that stops holding is a real complaint.

What information has to fit?

Origin, roast level, weight, ingredients and business details, plus a scannable barcode on a flat panel.

Can we run several origins in one order?

On digital printing, yes, which suits a roastery with a rotating single-origin range. Send the split.

Will light affect the coffee?

It degrades it over time, which is why most retail coffee bags are opaque rather than windowed.

Do these suit wholesale as well as retail?

Wholesale bags are usually larger and carry less retail information. Tell us which use dominates.

Where should the barcode go?

On a flat panel with clear space around it, away from folds and the valve, so it scans reliably at the till.

Can we order these without a valve?

For pre-ground coffee rested before packing, yes. For freshly roasted beans a valve is effectively necessary.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
