In the hustle and bustle of daily life, coffee serves as a warm ray of sunshine, waking us up every morning. Behind this, however, lies the significant art of coffee packaging valve design and selection. Today, let's learn more the standard sizes of coffee bags and essential tips for purchasing, adding a touch of professionalism and sophistication to your coffee journey.
I. Coffee packaging valve: The Dual Guardians of Freshness and Branding
The freshness of coffee is of utmost concern to every coffee lover. But did you know? The coffee packaging valve plays a crucial role in preserving this freshness. Oxygen, moisture, and light in the air are all enemies of coffee beans, accelerating the loss of coffee flavor. Therefore, choosing a coffee bag that can effectively isolate these external factors is key to ensuring coffee freshness.
At the same time, coffee bags also extend brand identity. Unique packaging designs not only catch consumers' eyes but also make products stand out among many, enhancing brand recognition.
II. Common coffee packaging Valve Types and their functions
1. Stand-Up Zipper Bags: These bags are small and portable, usually equipped with a resealable zipper, making it convenient to save unused coffee. Due to their shape design, they save storage space and are ideal for homes and small cafes.
2. Flat-Bottom Bags: Flat-bottom bags are common in supermarkets and grocery stores. They often come with a degassing valve and a resealable zipper, better maintaining coffee freshness. Additionally, the pleated design on the sides increases capacity, meeting larger storage needs.
3. Pleated Bags: Pleated bags expand capacity by adding extra material, divided into bottom-pleated and side-pleated types. Bottom-pleated bags have a larger bottom area, facilitating brand information printing, while side-pleated bags offer more internal storage space without occupying too much shelf space.
