Industry Overview
Coffee and tea are highly sensitive products that require packaging
with excellent barrier properties to protect against oxygen, moisture,
light, and aroma loss. Proper packaging plays a critical role in
maintaining product quality, shelf life, and brand perception.
Common Packaging Formats
- Stand-up pouches (with zipper or valve)
- Flat bottom pouches
- Center seal rolls
- Sachets for single-serve products
Most Popular Packaging Structure
PET + Aluminium Foil + LDPE is one of the most widely
used laminate structures for coffee and tea packaging.
- PET (Outer Layer): Provides strength, durability,
and high-quality printability for branding and shelf appeal.
- Aluminium Foil (Middle Layer): Acts as a complete
barrier against oxygen, moisture, light, and aroma, which is
essential for preserving freshness and flavor.
- LDPE (Inner Layer): Ensures strong heat-sealing,
product safety, and food-grade contact with the packed product.
Why This Structure Is Preferred
- Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier
- Preserves aroma and taste for longer shelf life
- Suitable for vacuum packaging and nitrogen flushing
- Strong sealing and leak resistance
- Premium appearance with high-quality printing
Alternative Structures
- PET + Metallized PET + PE (cost-effective option)
- BOPP + CPP (for short shelf-life products)
- Paper + Foil + PE (for premium or eco-focused branding)
