Adding a clear window is a good idea but it would cause the contents to be exposed to light. Exposure to light is the biggest culprit when it comes to stale beans so we don’t recommend it.

The One-Way Degassing Valve consists of a valve body, a rubber disc, and oil.  The rubber disc adheres or “seals” to the valve body via a layer of the oil.  This creates an oxygen-proof seal.

One-Way Degassing Valves are designed to allow pressure to be released from an air-tight package while preventing air from getting back into the package. Air, especially the oxygen portion of air, can have negative effects on the package contents and its freshness. When gas pressure inside a sealed package increases beyond the “valve opening pressure,” the seal between the rubber disc and the valve body is momentarily interrupted and gas can escape out of the package.  As gas is released and the pressure inside the package drops below the “valve close pressure,” the rubber disc re-seals to the valve body and the valve is closed off to oxygen again.

Oxygen is the enemy of freshly roasted coffee. Because coffee gives off carbon dioxide after it is roasted, adding a degassing valve to your coffee packages allows the carbon dioxide to escape from the pouch without letting oxygen back in. This ensures a longer shelf life and fresh from the roaster quality.

Another way to safeguard your coffee grounds and tea leaves from the elements is with resealable zippers. Press-to-close zippers offer superior performance to tin ties or other reclosure methods by keeping contents fresh and securely inside, safe from accidental spillage. Lastly, high barrier films keep oxygen and moisture out, while sealing in the aroma.

Professional look: First impressions are deal breakers and the look of your coffee bag is your first shot at connecting with coffee lovers. A full color custom printed foil bag will give the impression that your product is higher quality. Crooked labels don’t make good first impressions.
More space for your message: Labels limit the amount of space you have to brand and get your message across. With a custom printed bag you have the full front, back, and side panels to tell your story. The extra space you gain allows your design and content to look cleaner and less jumbled.
Less labor & time: Hand labeling bags is a time consuming and tedious task. Custom printed bags come with no assembly required. Drop your coffee beans in and you’re good to go! Less time packaging means more time selling.

The vast majority of our coffee roaster customers are packaging 12oz for retail situations.
