These stand up pouches have a zipper and valve which makes them a great choice for packaging or storing your freshly roasted coffee. They come in two sizes, 1/2lb and 1lb, to suit your personal preference and packaging needs. The top can be closed via a heat seal and the exterior is plain kraft paper so you can affix your own labels or decoration.
Stand up pouches have become one of the de-facto ways to package and store roasted coffee. The kraft paper exterior evokes the tin-tie bag, but stand up pouches have a number of advantages over that classic.
First, they have a resealable plastic zipper which helps to keep air out and your coffee fresh. In addition to the zipper, they have a complimentary one way valve that will let you squeeze out even more air and also ensure that any CO2 that builds up as your fresh roasted coffee degasses has a route to escape. Lastly, they can be heat sealed across the top for longer term storage, for sharing/gifting, or to meet retail packaging needs.
These bags are constructed from multiple, durable, laminated, layers with a kraft paper exterior. That is a fancy way of saying plastic interior, zipper, and valve with a brown paper exterior. Unfortunately, they are not post-consumer recyclable nor compostable. We decided to carry these in lieu of other options because we find that they last a long time and are reusable, and we hope that the extra durability and corresponding resuablity will reduce packaging waste overall.
We use the 1lb bags for our roasted coffee subscription, so you if want to use the bags that we use ourselves, then rest assured that these are it!
