Custom Printed Coffee Bags Configurations

Will you be hand-filling your coffee bags or are you considering automating with coffee packaging tools? If you plan to hand-fill your coffee bags. It is generally recommended that you pick a configuration that has more space in the top to allow you to easily scoop in the coffee.

While hand-packing reduces machinery costs, it drastically reduces your fulfillment quantity, accuracy, and ability to ramp up production. Most modern coffee packaging machines work with multiple bag styles and sizes.

Side Gusseted Coffee Bag

Side gusseted coffee bags have become another very common coffee packaging configuration. Less costly than the flat bottom coffee packaging configuration, but still holds its shape and can stand independently. It also can support more weight than a flat bottom bag.

Quad Seal Coffee Bag

Your coffee will love our quad seal pouches. This gusseted bag is a popular coffee packaging design due to extra real estate for branding. Gusseted sides provide room for more coffee and sits great on a shelf just like our other stand up coffee pouches.

8-Seal Square Bottom Coffee Bag

The flat bottom coffee bag, also called block bottom coffee bags, is a traditional format that has been popular for years. It stands independently and creates that classic brick shape when the top is folded down. A disadvantage to this configuration is it is not the most economical at smaller quantities.
