Simple explain is no need minimnum order quantity, short delivery time (just need 5 to 7days after artwork approved), and with high quality color printing, such as the coffee bag packaging with degassing valve, we can customization multiple choice.

Because of traditional printing way for custom coffee packaging, the size, materials, thickness and color can customized but need MOQ for one design; so for a long time the standard size for plain color or same design for standard bag are very popular and generally people in  order to distinguish the different flavours they will stick lables on the bag; but the hunman society is always progessing, everyone wants its unique coffee packaging bag with the special function degassing valve. now if we choice digital printing no need MOQ and all types of shapes, size, quantity, materials, thickness can customzied as you want, your individual packaged coffee may vary depending on your chice od material features configuration and printing style. 

 

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.

The difference between 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and 100% compostable by digital print plastic pouches?

Composting biodegradable plastics and waste paper with other organic compostable materials, such as yard waste, food and agricultural waste, can produce a large amount of carbon-rich fertilizer (humic material). Fertilizer-improved soil has many benefits. Due to the increased content of organic carbon, water and nutrients, it can reduce the amount of chemicals and inhibit plant diseases. Nowadays, people are increasingly using compost to maintain the sustainable development of agricultural systems. In many countries, food waste and other biological waste are collected separately and composted to produce good, high-value soil improvement materials, which are returned to the field to maintain the carbon cycle.

Bio based plastics and biodegradable plastics (PHAs) is the environment, sustainable new material which is instead the traditional petroleum-based plastics. “degradable”、”biodegradable”、”compostable” etc is the usually involved when discussing  these new materials, they are similar but different.

When designing a new product, it’s important to considering the ecological behavior, which is related to the ultimately deal with. And sometimes the packaging represent the products, our colleague often received the inquiry which consult the 100% recyclable plastic stand up pouch and need the biodegradable 100% compostable stand up pouch or other flat bottom pouch or etc, 

Today Gaoaog Packaging solution will discuss the difference between 100% recyclable, biodegradable and 100% compostable digitally printed packaging bag(such as coffee packaging).

100% recyclable digital print packaging bag, generally use single pe material or PE/PE material, here the pe material is not the common use materials, generally means PE/EVOH PE or PE/milk PE(white PE); Maybe you have some questions, why need PE/Pe, why not PET/Pe, PET/PE can recyclable but can not 100% recyclable, because if need 100% recyclable must need single material, and the bag’s type is lay flat pouch, or side gusset bag or stand up pouch, and the bag need heat seal, so we must need composite(laminated) package bag; and for this PE/PE material, we can choose glossy or matte finished.

Biodegradable digitally print packaging bag generally means the raw material add the PLA or PBAT, Biodegradable plastics need to be completely degraded under specific conditions of temperature, humidity, and the combined action of microorganisms, and produce carbon dioxide, water and other substances that are harmless to the environment.

100% compostable digitally print packaging bag generally use NK/kraft paper/ PBAT, or NK/VMPLA/PBAT material, for example stand up pouch with zipper, we also can do 100% compostable(100% degradable), and customer can according to their actually situation to order the quantity they need, no need like before need purchase more quantity in stock, it will reduce the waste of the packaging and it’s protect environment behavior,  by digital print flexible packaging bag can with a very Low minimum order quantity for 100% compostable stand up pouch or 100% compostable flat bottom pouch (100% biodegradable stand up pouch/ 100% biodegradable flat bottom pouch);

For example, the degradation of photodegradable plastics relies heavily on the participation of light sources. When buried in the soil without light, there is almost no degradation. Biodegradable plastics need to be degraded under the corresponding industrial composting conditions. Taking PLA as an example, its biodegradation needs to meet the two most basic conditions: 50%-60% humidity and 50-70 degrees Celsius temperature. Under these conditions, it is possible for microorganisms to gradually decompose PLA over a period of months or even longer. 

Therefore, the use of degradable plastics does not mean that consumers can discard them at will. Such products should be sorted and recycled in a unified manner like traditional plastic products, and recycled and reused (including physical recycling and reuse) according to appropriate disposal methods. Utilization, chemical recycling and reuse and biological recycling such as composting, etc.).

In addition to being biodegradable by microorganisms, there must be a time requirement for a plastic to be called "compostable" plastic. For example, ASTM 6400 (specification for compostable plastics), ASTM D6868 (specification for biodegradable plastics used for surface coating of paper or other compostable media) or EN 13432 (compostable packaging) standards stipulate that these materials are used in industrial composting environments It should be biodegraded within 180 days. The industrialized composting environment refers to the prescribed temperature of about 60°C and the presence of microorganisms. According to this definition, compostable plastics will not leave fragments longer than about 12 weeks in the residue, contain no heavy metals or toxic substances, and can sustain plant life.

The composting method is a method developed in recent years to evaluate the biodegradability of plastics. Its essence is to rely on the widely distributed bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi in nature to promote the biochemical process of the conversion of biodegradable organic matter into stable humus. This method is used to evaluate the biodegradability of plastics quickly, effectively, simply and intuitively, and can reflect the biodegradability of plastics under natural conditions to a considerable extent. So far, the composting method has become the main method for evaluating the biodegradability of plastics in the United States, Japan and European countries.
