The structure is PLA and PBAT with corn starch rather than a conventional laminate, certified to EN 13432 rather than described as eco. It runs like a laminate on our lines and composts at end of life. The barrier is tuned to the shelf life the product actually needs, which is what leaves headroom for a compostable structure certified to EN 13432.
It is heat sealed rather than reclosable, which is the right call for coffee, grains, high-volume dry fills in single portions or in a pack meant to be emptied at once. Side gussets let the bag expand to the fill and collapse flat when empty, which is why the format has survived in coffee.
About this pack
What It Is for, and What It Has to Survive
Where This Pack Is Used
Roasters use this pack for whole bean and ground coffee, where the problem is not spoilage but staling: roasted coffee gives off carbon dioxide for days and loses aroma to oxygen for the rest of its life. The pack has to vent the first without admitting the second.
How It Is Built
Two folded side panels that open as the bag fills, giving a tall pack on a small footprint. Per litre of contents it uses less film than any other self-standing construction.
Built on a PLA/PBAT laminate certified to EN 13432, so the whole pack breaks down rather than only part of it. The barrier is lower than foil, which is ample for many dry goods and not for a long-dated fatty one, so it is tested against your date rather than assumed.
Made on One Site
Every pouch on this site is produced in our own plant in Shenzhen, China. Film is extruded or sourced to the structure your product needs, printed by gravure from your artwork, laminated, cured, then converted on bag-making lines set up for your format and fill weight. Because those steps sit under one roof, a colour that drifts or a seal that fails a drop test is corrected on the line the same day.
Customising This Pouch
- Size and fill. Standard fills from 100 g to 2 kg, or built to your drawing. Tell us the product and the fill weight and we will come back with a gusset depth and film gauge.
- Barrier. Foil, metallised, transparent high-barrier or compostable, chosen against your shelf life and the market it ships to — not against a house default.
- Closure. Zipper, child-resistant zipper, tear notch, degassing valve, tin tie, hang hole or spout. Specified at the die stage.
- Print. Gravure from vector artwork, CMYK or Pantone, up to ten colours, matt or gloss. Spot UV and soft-touch finishes available.
- Windows. Die-cut to your artwork rather than dropped into a stock position.
Ordering
Send us the product, the fill weight, the format and the quantity per SKU. We reply with a real quote rather than a range. Artwork goes as vector — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG with fonts outlined — and if you have no designer, our graphics team builds the dieline and lays it out for you. You approve a digital proof before any cylinder is engraved, and for colour-critical work we run a press proof on the real substrate first. See the full ordering process.
Certification and Audits
Compostable lines are certified rather than claimed: OK compost HOME and INDUSTRIAL, BPI, DIN CERTCO and AS 5810 against EN 13432, with FDA and LFGB for food contact. The plant is audited to BRCGS, Sedex, BSCI, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. More about our plant.
