Coffee packaging

1. Material and composition of coffee packaging:

Coffee is a delicious, famous drink loved by many people around the world. Coffee products sold on the market today usually come in two forms: powder and granules. The product is packaged in various bags with the weight of 16 – 500gr (instant coffee), 100gr, 250gr, 500gr and 1kg (coffee beans/coffee powder).

The packaging used in coffee packaging (coffee packaging) is usually composed of 2-3 layers of film materials, including plastic films: OPP, PET, PA, MCPP, MPET, AL, LLDPE.

The role of the film materials used in the packaging of laminated coffee:

OPP, OPPMAT or PET film: is the outermost film of coffee packaging (coffee packaging), the material for printing copper shafts for sharp content. In addition, these are films with good moisture and oxidation resistance for the product. PET film is known for its good odour retention ability and resistance to tension during fabrication, processing and lamination. The hardness of the film keeps the packaging product resistant to impact and not wrinkled during transportation move and display products.​

Al, MPET or MCPP film: Aluminum film or aluminium plating (Metalized + PET/ Metalized + CPP). This is the middle layer that plays the role of helping to increase the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of coffee packaging, helping the packaging to enhance its ability to resist oxygen, and moisture, block light and block elements from the outside environment impact on the quality of the inner coffee product.

LLDPE film: is the innermost layer of film, in direct contact with the product. It plays the role of strengthening the physical and mechanical properties, helping the coffee packaging to withstand good forces and adhere when sealing the bag. In particular, the LLDPE film layer ensures 100% of food hygiene and safety standards, so it is often used to produce food packaging and beverage packaging.

Depending on the function of use, coffee packaging is usually classified according to the following structures:

1. Coffee packaging (coffee packaging) has a 2-layer structure: OPP/MCPP.

For instant coffee products, roasted and ground coffee weighing 18g – 500g, the packaging is printed film roll, and automatic packaging is usually made from a material with a 2-layer structure: OPP /MCPP. The total thickness of the packaging film is from 50 mics to 70 mics. The MCPP silver film is an aluminium-plated film (metalise + CPP) that blocks light and air to help protect the coffee product inside, keeping the flavour. Coffee’s packaging is usually only from 3 to 6 months.

2. Coffee packaging (coffee packaging) 3-layer structure: OPP/MPET/LLDPE, OPPMAT/MPET/LLDPE, PET/MPET/PE.

Coffee packaging has a 3-layer structure that usually makes the thickness from 70mic to 130mic depending on the weight of the coffee product inside. This 3-layer material structure helps the packaging to keep the scent longer than the above 2-layer structure, the time to keep the coffee flavour is also longer, on average, from 6 months to 12 months. This packaging can Vacuum only possible if the thickness of the bag is 100mic or more. This type of 3-layer structure coffee packaging is currently the most commonly used on the market, the material structure ensures the quality and taste of your coffee for a long time.

3. Special 3-layer structure coffee packaging: PET/AL/PE, PA/AL/PE, PA/MPET/PE.

For special high-class coffee, the coffee packaging material is also composed of 3 layers, and the thickness is from 70 to 130mic. Still, the special feature of this structure is the use of Al (aluminum) film instead of the plating layer. aluminum (MPET or MCPP). The AL membrane enhances mechanical, physical, and chemical strength. It increases the resistance to oxygen, moisture, light and solar radiation at almost absolute levels, thereby creating an ideal environment for protection. long-term storage of coffee products. This packaging structure preserves and keeps the coffee aroma extremely well, the product shelf life is from 12 to 36 months.

PET film is known for its very good odour retention ability. In contrast, PA film has the function of anti-puncture, and anti-abrasion, specialised for packaging and vacuum bags for food. Special 3-layer structure coffee bag, better than normal 2-layer and 3-layer structure. Coffee bag products using this special structure are usually coffee bags with a 1-way valve (one-way vent) attached to the packaging to help the packaging release CO2 because coffee products have a high proportion of ingredients. Lots of pure coffee. After roasting and packing this coffee powder, it continues to produce CO2, and if not released, the gas will inflate and deform the packaging.

The cost of coffee bags with a 1-way vent valve using this special 3-layer structure is relatively higher, about 15 to 20%, compared to the normal 3-layer structure and 50% compared to the 2-layer structure. One-way valves usually cost about 900 VND to 1200 VND / valve, depending on the quality of the valve, closed valves are usually made in Vietnam, China, Taiwan, and Japan…
