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.

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.

 

Modern people's aesthetic requirements will be reflected in all aspects of life, After shopping, I often meet people who say, "The packaging is very good, very high-grade." nice, "good" not only refers to the visual beauty, but also reveals a kind of goodwill and trust for the brand.

Quality packaging is indeed very important. It is just like the first meeting between a product and customers, which involves the establishment of goodwill and trust, and everything from the logo to the packaging will affect the shopping experience of potential buyers.

What is the function of product packaging?

1, protect the product, so that the article is not damaged by extrusion, collision, direct sunlight and other factors;

2. Convenient storage and transportation, increase transportation volume and reduce transportation cost;
3. Deliver product personality and corporate cultural positioning, and highlight brand characteristics;
4. Increase consumers' shopping desire and curiosity, promote consumption, and bring better profits to merchants.

And with the industrial hemp market heating up at a blistering pace, growers and retailers are joining the burgeoning market for packaged industrial hemp. It is hoped that this will enable the industrial hemp consumption market to achieve more rapid growth and wider public acceptance and use of industrial hemp.

In addition to being attractive and child safe, industrial hemp packaging must also protect the items from encroachment and guarantee a shelf life. Ideal for industrial hemp, the packaging is strong, tamper-proof, and an effective barrier against moisture, ultraviolet light, and other contaminants. In particular, "odor-proof", odor-proof packaging is the most popular among consumers.

What else is so special about industrial hemp packets? Please following me.

1. Types of industrial hemp packaging: flexible packaging and rigid packaging

Industrial hemp packaging options are divided into two categories, flexible packaging and hard packaging. Strong packaging, such as glass, metal or plastic, protects the product well and can be reused. On the other hand, soft packaging bags are also a flexible option, allowing industrial hemp products to be designed with bags that are less prone to tearing or piercing, cheaper than most hard materials, take up less storage space, and lower shipping costs. And even if the bags are not recyclable, they are usually biodegradable, which adds another environmental dimension.

2. Industrial hemp packaging bags by product type:

Industrial hemp pre-rolled:

Industrial hemp pre-roll packaging prevents joint damage while sealing odor and provides great portability. The most popular industrial cannabis roll packs are stand-alone deodorant pop-top tubes, which are also well protected from child use by pre-rolls.

Industrial hemp concentrate

Child safe glass, silicone, acrylic or polystyrene cans are ideal packaging for most industrial hemp concentrates. Containers with rounded corners ensure that the concentrate inside is not damaged or spilled.

Industrial hemp flowers

Top industrial hemp flower packaging should choose the odor proof bag or child proof glass tube or jar. Because flower smells can be particularly pungent and can be easily damaged by exposure to the air, tight and resealable packaging tubes are especially important.

Vape Pen and ink cartridge

Child proof, with a variety of customization options. The blister (clamshell) package is a durable, economical and efficient housing option for vape pens, cartridges and other electronic liquid products, making vape cartridges stand out from the rest.

Medical cannabis products

Medical marijuana products: Medical marijuana packaging for products such as CBD oils, TIN agents, soft capsules, and topical ointments is often similar to that of conventional medical products. Plastic or glass tubes or jars are ideal for gel caps.

FLAP NOT COVER POCKET OPENING

Industrial hemp products are purchased and left in pharmacy bags - an important part of pharmacy packaging. Pharmacy exit pockets are designed to be child-proof and have sealable and opaque standards. This extra measure makes pharmacy products appear cautious, making them less appealing to minors.

3. Safety for children:

Child - proof packaging requirements: 1. If it is difficult to open, put it in a container that is not easy for children to open; 2. the packaging should not be transparent and exposed, especially to attract children's biscuits and candies;3. Avoid lively colors to attract children or teenagers to avoid accidental ingestion.

 

4. Sustainable development of industrial hemp packaging bags:

Use sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging whenever possible. This will make environmentally conscious consumers more willing to buy materials such as wood, reusable glass or recycled cardboard. Popular sustainable packaging materials include the following:

Glass: One of the simplest recycled materials, with reusable appeal. High Density Polyethylene Plastic (HDPE) : BPA-free, does not immerse chemicals in the soil and is subject to recycling. Polypropylene plastic: Recyclable, light weight, safe and naturally resistant to mold.

5. Expenses for packaging bags of industrial hemp:

It depends on whether you're buying in bulk or in a special limited edition package, and it's usually cheapest to buy in bulk, And the packaging bags imported from China are the most cost-effective, Some industrial hemp packaging companies offer free or discounted shipping promotions.

6. Appearance and brand.

This needless to say, generally speaking, the appearance design and brand concept, can directly affect the consumer's following degree to the product. Most legal industrial hemp brands have shed their cliched "stonemasonry" image (big potted leaves or dull colour schemes), Some brands are already unique in their packaging, either minimalist or luxurious, but made of high-quality materials that are clearly visible to the naked eye. The medical cannabis packaging, with its consistent simplicity and rigor as design elements, well reflects the role of medical cannabis healing, It's reassuring.

There is no attraction in the world that does not require heart, Just as industrial hemp is packaged to appeal to all kinds of people in the world, Behind it are pieces of ingenuity, and every piece of ingenuity is your own.

As we all know, China has entered an era of personalized and data-based consumption, and product innovation and change are extremely fast. This has brought many new issues to packaging and printing service providers, including small batch and ultra-short edition product customization which is the most prominent phenomenon at present. Many soft package new products require only a few thousand at the beginning of the market development. Such a quantity is difficult to print with traditional gravure, but the market is there. How to respond to such demand is every The problems that must be faced by the soft package manufacturers and solutions must be found. In addition, many excellent brands want to see real sample bags in the development and packaging stage. The demand for these sample bags is often around dozens, and they are still a series of multi-page works. This demand cannot be given by traditional printing. stand by. In addition to the above two long-awaited needs, there is more and more demand for innovative functional packaging with one thing and one code on the packaging! These requirements provide a broader development space for the digital printing process.

The biggest advantage of the thin film digital printing process is that it eliminates the cumbersome and expensive gravure production process, can quickly print graphics and text through electronic files, and can also support the coded printing of variable code data. These functions and techniques cannot be accomplished by the traditional printing process. Although the digital printing process outperforms traditional printing in many ways, after all, the current total installed capacity is limited, coupled with the limitations of many conditions such as expensive equipment and high printing costs compared to traditional processes. If In order to replace the production capacity of traditional fixed plate printing in mass printing field, it is not realistic at present. However, we believe that digital printing technology will eventually become an indispensable technology in the society. Its value will be more reflected in the customized fields of specific packaging products, such as variable data assigned printing, less quantization and fast delivery time. As the market matures, it will also blossom into a brilliant flower..

In recent years, large-format digital film printing has emerged in the field of flexible packaging proofing. It emerged from the concept of small batches and personalization and has become a real market behavior. The users are often those who need to recommend new products at the exhibition. They use Digital printing samples  to test the market for  large-scale products. These merchants are mostly FMCG and pet feed traders, and there are also large brand companies that are not customized for sales purposes. This customers hope that their excellent design drafts can be truly displayed show on shareholders, which is convenient for packaging final review. After careful consideration, this demand is also logical. Once the brand packaging is approved, its output is more than ten million, so it is relatively cautious. The ordinary electronic document design draft is not suitable for use as a proposal review. These demands can only be thought about before the digital printing press appeared. Digital Printing makes your dreams come true.

Digital printing has a very rich application in flexible packaging, which can solve many problems that cannot be solved by traditional printing, including:     

     1.Short run & urgent order

The exhibition is approaching, need to get customized printed bags ready in 3 days, what would you do? Digital printing can solve this problem well. It does not need to make cylinders (normally it takes 4-5 days), can be printed directly as the artworks you sent. The process of printing, laminating, and bag converting can be completed in 3 days, helping you quickly respond to market changes.

 

       2.Serialization of multiple SKUs

The new product is about to go on the market, if you plan to design a package of 50 or 200 SKUs in a series, is there a more appropriate way to quickly develop it? Digital printing is particularly suitable for this application scenario. We can arrange to print and make bags mixed together for the same series of packaging, and complete them at one time, which greatly saves costs. In traditional gravure printing, each style needs to be printed separately, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

       3.Quickly match PT color

Traditional gravure printing is limited by craftsmanship, and the use of colors is very limited. HP indigo 20000 has an amazing automatic color matching capability that can cover nearly 97% of the Pantone color gamut. The designer's imagination has been greatly released.

       4.MOSAIC variable image printing

Half of consumers believe that attractive packaging will prompt them to buy new products and are even willing to pay higher prices for new packaging. "Nowadays, the needs of millennials and online consumers have changed a lot. They want to see products that have a certain connection with them, and hope that the products they buy can reflect their personal values, so product packaging needs to be personalized." Through HP MOSAIC technology, each package has a different personalized package, highlighting the brand value.
