Maximum shelf life and premium preservation. Rigid, high-strength feel.
Recyclable PE high-barrier
Reliable protection with a recycling path (stream #4 or soft plastics). Soft, flexible feel.
Compostable kraft cellulose
Plastic-free structure with a natural paper texture, certified OK compost HOME (certificate).

Custom coffee bag FAQ
How much does shipping cost on custom coffee bags?
Shipping is included. Custom orders get one all-inclusive quote that covers production and shipping, with no extra fees.
What is the minimum order for custom printed coffee bags?
1,000 pouches with digital printing, and you can split that minimum across multiple designs or SKUs. Gravure printing starts at 5,000 pouches.
How long does a custom coffee bag order take?
Lead time is 5 to 10 weeks, and we plan production around your launch date.
Do I need a degassing valve on my coffee bag?
A one-way degassing valve lets CO₂ from freshly roasted coffee escape without letting oxygen in. It's optional on every bag.
What file format do you need for artwork?
Send artwork as a PDF or AI file with fonts outlined, built on the die line we provide. We don't offer in-house design, but you approve a digital proof before production.
Can I see a sample before the full run?
Yes. After you approve the digital proof, you approve a production sample before the full order is made. You can also order custom samples first.

Bag size, material, quantity, number of designs, and add-ons like valves and zippers. Share your project details and we'll quote the best option for your budget.
