Packaging details
01
A zipper works best when convenience and repeat storage are part of the product experience. It is especially useful for DTC, subscription, and smaller daily-use packs.
02
Tin-tie works when the coffee bag needs a classic roastery feel, easy roll-down behavior, or a familiar specialty coffee cue that customers already understand.
03
Check closure position, valve placement, fill weight, headspace, film stiffness, oil marks, and whether the closure stays easy to use after the first week of opening.
04
Specify bag format, fill weight, valve, closure type, finish, SKU count, target order quantity, and whether the bag is for retail, DTC, or roastery shelves.
