Custom Foil Coffee Bags for Roasters & Coffee Brands
Custom foil coffee bags designed for coffee roasters and specialty brands seeking premium protection and strong shelf appeal.
Our aluminum barrier pouches safeguard aroma, flavor, and freshness while offering full customization in size, structure, printing, and valve options to support wholesale, private label, and export packaging needs.
What Are Foil Coffee Bags?
Foil coffee bags are multi-layer laminated packaging pouches that incorporate an aluminum foil or aluminum barrier layer to provide superior protection for roasted coffee. The typical structure includes layers such as PET, aluminum foil, and PE, combining strength, flexibility, and high barrier performance.
The aluminum layer acts as an effective shield against oxygen, moisture, light, and external contaminants that can quickly degrade coffee quality. By minimizing oxygen transmission and moisture penetration, foil coffee bags help preserve flavor integrity, aroma compounds, and freshness.
These bags are widely used for roasted coffee beans and ground coffee, especially in retail, wholesale, and export markets where extended shelf life and product stability are essential.
Types of Foil Coffee Bags We Manufacture
As an experienced coffee packaging manufacturer, we produce a full range of foil coffee bag structures designed for different retail, wholesale, and specialty coffee applications. Each style combines high-barrier aluminum protection with functional design features to meet branding, storage, and distribution requirements.
Stand Up Foil Coffee Bags
Stand up foil coffee bags, also known as doypack pouches, feature a bottom gusset that allows the pouch to stand upright on retail shelves. This structure maximizes visibility while maintaining strong aluminum barrier protection against oxygen, moisture, and light. Stand up foil pouches are ideal for roasted coffee brands seeking attractive shelf presentation combined with resealable zipper and valve options for extended freshness.
Flat Bottom Foil Coffee Bags
Flat bottom foil coffee bags provide enhanced stability and premium shelf appeal with their box-style base and structured design. This format offers greater filling capacity and stronger load-bearing performance compared to traditional pouches. The aluminum foil barrier ensures excellent aroma preservation, while the five-panel printable surface allows coffee brands to showcase detailed graphics, product information, and strong brand identity.
Side Gusset Foil Coffee Bags
Side gusset foil coffee bags are a classic choice for wholesale and bulk coffee packaging. The expandable side panels allow the bag to accommodate larger volumes while maintaining a compact footprint. With a durable multi-layer foil structure, these bags deliver reliable oxygen and moisture protection. They are widely used for 1 lb and 5 lb coffee packaging, especially in commercial roasting operations.
Tin Tie Foil Coffee Bags
Tin tie foil coffee bags combine traditional design with convenient reclosure functionality. The built-in tin tie strip allows consumers to fold and reseal the bag after opening, helping maintain product freshness without requiring a zipper. Supported by an aluminum barrier layer, this style provides strong protection against external elements and is commonly used for artisan roasters and boutique coffee packaging.
Valve Foil Coffee Bags
Valve foil coffee bags are specifically designed for freshly roasted coffee. The integrated one-way degassing valve allows carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxygen from entering the pouch. This helps maintain optimal internal pressure and preserves flavor stability. Combined with high-barrier aluminum foil lamination, valve coffee bags are essential for specialty roasters aiming to protect freshness throughout storage and distribution.
Heat Seal Foil Coffee Bags
Available Sizes for Foil Coffee Bags
We manufacture foil coffee bags in a wide range of standard and custom sizes to support retail packaging, wholesale distribution, and bulk commercial supply. From sample packs to large-capacity storage formats, our aluminum foil pouches maintain consistent barrier protection and structural integrity across all capacities.
| Capacity | Typical Use Case | Recommended Features | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 oz (60g) | Sample packs, promotional giveaways | Heat seal or zipper closure | Specialty roasters, trial marketing |
| 12 oz (340g) | Standard retail coffee packaging | Zipper + degassing valve | Retail brands, private label |
| 1 lb (454g) | Core retail & wholesale format | Valve + resealable zipper | Roasters, distributors |
| 5 lb (2.27kg) | Bulk packaging & commercial use | Strong gusset + reinforced seal | Coffee shops, wholesale buyers |
All sizes can be customized in terms of pouch dimensions, thickness, material structure, and closure systems to meet your specific packaging and logistics requirements. Custom dimensions are also available for brands seeking differentiated shelf presence or export-standard packaging formats.
Custom Foil Coffee Bag Solutions
Printing Options
We offer high-quality rotogravure and digital printing solutions with vibrant color reproduction and precise detail. Matte, glossy, and combination finishes are available to enhance shelf appeal. Custom logos, product information, QR codes, and regulatory markings can be printed to meet retail and export standards.
Material Structure
Our foil coffee bags are available in multiple laminated structures such as PET/AL/PE or BOPP/AL/CPP, depending on the required strength and barrier performance. Thickness can be adjusted to balance durability, cost efficiency, and shipping stability.
Barrier Level
We design material structures based on required oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and moisture barrier performance. For specialty roasted coffee, high-barrier aluminum foil layers are recommended to maximize freshness preservation and extend shelf life.
Degassing Valve
One-way degassing valves can be integrated for freshly roasted coffee packaging. The valve allows carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxygen entry, maintaining internal pressure balance and preserving aroma integrity.
Zipper & Closure Systems
Options include standard resealable zippers, pocket zippers, tin ties, and heat-seal-only closures. These features improve convenience and allow end users to maintain product freshness after opening.
Surface Finish
We offer matte, glossy, soft-touch, metallic, and spot UV finishes to enhance visual impact and tactile experience. Custom color matching and branding details help coffee brands achieve premium positioning in competitive retail environments.

Foil Coffee Bags FAQ
Are foil coffee bags recyclable?
Traditional aluminum foil coffee bags are typically multi-layer laminated structures combining plastic films and aluminum foil, which makes them difficult to recycle through standard municipal systems. However, recyclable mono-material or eco-friendly alternatives can be developed depending on your sustainability goals. We can provide guidance on recyclable structure options that balance barrier performance and environmental considerations.
Do foil coffee bags need a valve?
For freshly roasted coffee beans, a one-way degassing valve is highly recommended. After roasting, coffee releases carbon dioxide for several days. A valve allows gas to escape without letting oxygen enter, preventing package swelling and preserving aroma quality. For ground coffee or pre-degassed beans, valve inclusion depends on packaging strategy and shelf-life requirements.
What thickness is best for foil coffee bags?
The optimal thickness depends on product weight, distribution conditions, and barrier requirements. Retail coffee packaging commonly uses laminated structures ranging from 100 to 150 microns. Heavier bulk packaging may require thicker materials for additional strength. We help determine appropriate thickness based on shipping method, storage environment, and target market standards.
How long does coffee last in foil bags?
When properly sealed and stored in a cool, dry environment, foil coffee bags can significantly extend shelf life by minimizing oxygen and moisture exposure. Roasted coffee packaged in high-barrier aluminum foil pouches can typically maintain optimal flavor for several months, depending on roast level and storage conditions. Including a degassing valve further improves freshness retention.
What is the difference between foil and metallized coffee bags?
Aluminum foil coffee bags use a solid aluminum layer that provides superior oxygen and moisture barrier protection. Metallized bags use a thin vacuum-deposited aluminum coating on plastic film, offering moderate barrier performance at a lower cost. Foil structures are generally preferred for specialty or high-value coffee requiring maximum freshness preservation.
