Custom Coffee Bags: Production Process & Key Differences

The more refined the packaging, the more intricate the process. Today, we’ll explore the custom coffee bag production process. M‑star Packaging has extensive expertise in this field—here’s a brief overview of their manufacturing techniques.

Step 1: Bag Selection (Most Critical)

The first step is choosing the right bag type based on functionality and target audience:

For Brewing: Drip coffee bags, flat-bottom pouches, gusseted bags.

For Freshness: Valve coffee bags (with degassing valves), stand-up pouches.

For Convenience: Spout pouches (ideal for liquid coffee), zipper bags (resealable).

For Premium Appeal: Sleek, minimalist designs (targeting office workers/white-collar consumers).

For Cost-Effectiveness: Stand-up pouches, composite bags.

Step 2: Packaging Design

Our design team crafts a brand-aligned bag based on your visual identity (logo, colors, typography).

Step 3: Printing

We select the optimal printing method (e.g., digital printing for small batches, flexography for large runs) to ensure vibrant, high-resolution graphics.

Step 4: Lamination

A protective film (BOPP/PET) is heat-sealed to enhance durability (moisture/scratch resistance) and visual appeal (gloss/matte finishes).

Step 5: Cutting

The laminated material is precision-cut into the final bag shape. Samples can be shipped for approval.

Step 6: Packing

Bags are inspected and packed into cartons for shipment.

Steps 7 & 8: Labeling & Shipping

Custom labels (barcodes, QR codes) are applied, and orders are dispatched to you.

Key Differences vs. Other Bags

Material: Coffee bags often use multi-layer films (e.g., AL foil for oxygen barrier) vs. standard plastic/paper.

Features: Degassing valves (for freshness), resealable zippers, or spouts for liquid dispensing.

Printing: Higher color accuracy to reflect premium branding (vs. generic retail bags).
