Case: Customer A has always used a blank pouch + printed label packaging solution to package their dried fruit products, including 26 varieties of wolfberry, passion fruit, dried pineapple, walnut, pistachio, pine nut, etc., which are cheap and fast. With the growth of business, the company now wants to develop its own brand, so it has developed 26 packaging designs of the same series, all of the same size, the same material, and different printing content. It needs to be produced in small batches first, and the manufacturer’s exhibition test sales,to see which varieties are better to sell, and then mass-produce them.

This kind of demand scenario is very common, and the cost will be very high if the traditional gravure printing method is used.

1. 26 single products need to be plate-made and printed separately. If each design is in 7 colors, 182 pieces are needed. Even if the copper plates that may be shared are reduced, each design shares three, and 107 plates are required, which is very costly;

2. The minimum order quantity is high. The traditional gravure printing requires at least 20,000 pieces per style, and 26 styles is 520,000 pieces. Under the premise that the sales trend has not been determined, this will cause excessive inventory backlog;

3. The delivery period is long, and it takes at least 20 days to complete all of it. It cannot respond quickly to changes in market demand, and if the content needs to be adjusted, it needs to be revised, resulting in increased costs;

 After understanding the customer's situation, we provide a digital printing solution that can solve the series of problems of this new product launch:

1. First of all, the minimum order quantity is ultra-low, and each style can be printed with 200 bags, which greatly reduces inventory costs and risks;
2. Secondly, the production cycle is short, the response speed is fast, the picture is printed immediately, no copper plate is required, 26 models can be printed together, and the delivery can be carried out within 5 days;
3. Moreover, the printing color is accurate, no need to register, 99% of the AI color effect is restored, and the printing is exquisite;

The overall cost is much lower than that of gravure. After a short trial sale, the customer decided to choose 10 of them for mass gravure production to reduce individual costs.

Green packaging can also be called pollution-free packaging and friends of the environment packaging, refers to the ecological environment and human health harmless, reusable and renewable, in line with the sustainable development of packaging. Its idea has two meanings: one is to protect the environment, and the other is to save resources. The two go hand in hand and cannot be separated. Environmental protection is the core, and resource conservation is closely related to environmental protection, because resource conservation can reduce waste, in fact, is to protect the environment from the source. 

From a technical point of view, the green packaging refers to the natural plant and associated minerals as raw material to develop the ecological environment and human health is harmless in pairs, is conducive to recycling, easy degradation, a kind of environmentally friendly packaging of sustainable development, that is, its packaging products from raw materials selection, product manufacturing to use and abandoned the whole life cycle, all should meet the requirements of the ecological environment protection should be green packaging materials, packaging design, and to develop the three aspects of green packaging industry and realize the green packaging

Specifically, green packaging should have the following meanings:

1. Implement packaging reduction. Green packaging should be the appropriate package with the least amount of consumption under the condition of satisfying the functions of protection, convenience and sales. Europe and the United States and other countries will reduce packaging as the development of harmless packaging measures.
2. The packaging should be easy to Reuse or Recycle. Through repeated use, or through recycling waste, production of recycled products, incineration using heat energy, composting to improve the soil, and other measures, to achieve the purpose of recycling. Not only does not pollute the environment but also can make full use of the resources.
3. Packaging waste degradation can corrupt (Degradable).In order not to form permanent waste, non-recyclable packaging waste should be decomposed and decomposed to improve the soil. All the industrial countries in the world attach great importance to the development of biodegradable or photodegradable packaging materials. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Degradable is now in the 21st century, the development of the world recognized green packaging principle of 3 R and 1 D.
4. Packaging materials should be non-toxic and harmless to humans and organisms. Packaging materials should not contain toxic substances or toxic substances should be controlled below the relevant standards.
5. During the whole life cycle of packaging products, environmental pollution or public hazards should not be caused. That is to say, the whole life process of packaging products, from the raw material collection, material processing, product manufacturing, product use, waste recycling and recycling to final treatment, should not cause public hazards to human body and environment.

In the above meaning of green packaging, the first four points should be the requirements that green packaging must have, and the last point is the ideal and highest requirements for green packaging from the perspective of system engineering based on life cycle evaluation. From the above analysis, green packaging can be defined as: green packaging is able to recycle, recycle or degrade decay, and in the whole life cycle of the product does not cause public hazards to the human body and the environment.

When you entered a market or a cafe shop, have you notice a small round button on some of the coffee bags on the display cabinet? It is called a one-way degassing valve and is commonly used on fermented food and coffee packaging. Degassed valves are usually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material and are designed to periodically allow the internal gas to escape from a small valve on the package when the internal pressure exceeds a certain (small) value. As the name suggests, air cannot enter the bag from the outside (because it is a "one-way" valve), thus creating a sealed exhaust effect to keep the coffe beans or other products in the bag fresh. 

The degassing valve (exhaust valve) types on the market are roughly divided into two kinds, one is the built-in exhaust valve, the other is the external exhaust valve.
The built-in exhaust valve is installed inside the bag, and the installation needs to cooperate with the pressure valve machine to heat the exhaust valve on the bag. The built-in exhaust valve is divided into filter screen type and filter - free. The built-in one-way exhaust valve with a filter can be used in a wide range of applications. It can be used in the packaging of solid and powder items such as coffee beans, pigs, horses and other livestock feed, cat and dog food, flour, coffee powder, ready-mixed baking powder and so on. The built-in one-way exhaust valve without filter screen has a relatively small application range, suitable for coffee beans, cat food dog food and other granular items.

The external type exhaust valve (degassing valve) is generally a patch type exhaust valve, just poke a small hole in the coffee packaging bag surface, and then directly paste the patch type exhaust valve to the small hole. The use of a patch exhaust valve simplifies the packaging process by reducing the number of packaging steps normally required when using a conventional exhaust valve. Convenient and efficient, stick firmly, the same effect as the built-in exhaust valve. External exhaust valve can be used in soft food packaging, composite bags, film or container anytime and anywhere. People can choose the most suitable exhaust valve according to their own needs.

The above all types degassing valves are also no need mininum quantity, if you choose us for custom digital printed coffee packaging bag you can choose the different degassing valve according to your products different features and requirements.

Generally for the custom coffee package prefer the following bag types: Side-gusset coffee bag、Qual-seal coffee bag、8-seal coffee bag、Square bottom coffee bag、Stand up pouch(Doypack)、Stick pack coffee bag、Lay flat coffee bag(sachet)、ez-pul zipper coffee bag.

100% recyclable coffee bag, and 100% compostable coffee bag also can with or without degassing valves.

Roasted coffee beans(powder) packaging is the most variety of coffee packaging. Because coffee is naturally produced after roasting, it is easy to directly produce packaging and packaging and contact with air, which will lead to oxidation of the oil in the coffee and the inactive components of the pump, resulting in a decrease in quality. Therefore, the packaging of coffee beans (powder) is very important.

Sort of Packing

There are many types of coffee packaging and various materials. Please don't think that coffee packaging is just what kind of colorful small bags you have usually used. In fact, the world of coffee packaging is very exciting. Here is a brief introduction to the knowledge of coffee packaging.

According to the form of coffee supply, coffee packaging can be basically divided into three categories: green bean export packaging, roasted coffee beans (powder) packaging, and instant coffee packaging.

Export packaging of raw beans

Raw beans are generally packed in sacks. Different coffee producing countries in the world usually use 70 kg or 69 kg sacks when exporting coffee beans (only Hawaiian coffee is packaged in 100 pounds). In addition to printing the names of the country and its coffee organization, coffee production unit, and producing area on the coffee sacks, the most typical patterns of the country will also be printed on the sacks. These seemingly ordinary commodity sacks, in the opinion of coffee fans , Has become a footnote to interpret the background of coffee culture. It has even become a collection of many coffee fans, and this type of packaging can be called the initial packaging of coffee.

Roasted coffee beans (powder) packaging

Generally divided into packaged and canned.

(1). Bagged:

Bagged packaging is generally divided into: non-airtight packaging, vacuum packaging, one-way valve packaging, and pressurized packaging.

Non-airtight packaging:

In fact, it is a temporary packaging and is only used for short-term storage.

Vacuum packaging:

The roasted coffee beans need to be placed for a period of time before packaging to prevent carbon dioxide from damaging the packaging. Such packaging can generally be stored for about 10 weeks.

One-way valve packaging:

Adding a one-way valve to the packaging bag allows the carbon dioxide generated to be eliminated but prevents the entry of external air, ensuring that the coffee beans are not oxidized but cannot prevent the loss of aroma. This type of packaging can be stored for up to 6 months. Some coffees are packaged with vent holes, that is, only vent holes are made on the packaging bag without a one-way valve, so that once the carbon dioxide produced by the coffee beans is emptied, outside air will enter the bag and cause oxidation, so it is stored Time is greatly reduced.

Pressurized packaging:

After the coffee beans are roasted, they are vacuum-packed and sealed with inert gas. This type of packaging can ensure that the coffee beans are not oxidized, while ensuring that the aroma will not be lost and have sufficient strength to ensure that the packaging will not be damaged by air pressure and can be stored for up to Two years.

(2). Canned:

The cans are generally metal and glass, and they are equipped with plastic lids for easy airtightness.

Instant coffee packaging

The packaging of instant coffee is much simpler. Generally, small sealed packaging bags or rollstock film are used, mainly in long strips, and outer packaging boxes are also available. Of course, there are also some canned instant coffee supplies on the market.

Materials

Different types of coffee packaging have different materials. Generally, the raw bean export packaging material is simpler than the ordinary sack material. Instant coffee packaging also has no special material requirements, and basically uses general food packaging materials. The packaging of coffee beans (powder) generally adopts opaque plastic composite materials and environmentally friendly kraft paper composite materials due to the requirements of anti-oxidation.

Packaging color

The color of coffee packaging also has certain rules. According to the conventions formed in the industry, the color of finished coffee packaging reflects the characteristics of coffee to a certain extent:

The red-packaged coffee generally has a thicker taste, which can make the drinker wake up quickly from the good dreams of last night;

Coffee in black packaging belongs to high-quality small fruit coffee;

Coffee in golden packaging symbolizes wealth and shows that it is the best in coffee;

Blue-packaged coffee is generally "decaffeinated" coffee.

Coffee is one of the world's three largest soft drinks and the second most traded product in the world after oil. Its popularity is evident. The coffee culture contained in its packaging is also very attractive because of its long-term accumulation.
