Box Bottom Coffee bags

If you drink coffee, the chances are good you have encountered a Box Bottom Coffee bag. Current market research shows that nearly half of all coffee packaging utilizes the box bottom bag design. Box Bottom coffee bags have become the go-to choice for brands looking to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. 

One great feature of the Box Bottom Coffee bag is its superior stability. The box bottom design provides a flat, sturdy base, which allows the bags to stand upright on shelves. This feature not only enhances the visual appeal of your product, but it also optimizes shelf space in your retail environment. Likewise, customers can easily store these bags at home without worrying about them tipping over, making this a feature that is practical for both sellers and buyers. 

Another feature both sellers and buyers love, the ClearBags Box Bottom Coffee bags are heat sealable for tamper resistant closure with a resealable zipper for the consumer. The airtight seal, pocket zipper, and one-way degassing valve are all designed to  preserve your coffee’s freshness. The one-way valve allows carbon dioxide to escape without letting oxygen in, which in turn allows for quicker packaging. This prevents your coffee from going stale while maintaining its flavor and aroma, all while being packaged efficiently for your company.  

The unique structure of ClearBags Box Bottom Coffee bags allows for greater capacity when compared to traditional flat bags. This makes them perfect for holding larger quantities of coffee while still maintaining a compact size. It’s a win-win for the retailer and consumers, providing more product without taking up more space. Available in silver, matte black and kraft, these classic colors come in two different sizes (1/8” x 2 3/8” x 10 1/4” as well as 5” x 3 1/8” x 8”) to meet your packaging needs. ClearBags Box Bottom Coffee bags offer plenty of surface area for labels, logos, and marketing messages. The ample area to work with and neutral colors create eye-catching, memorable packaging that can attract customers in a crowded and competitive market. 

Side Gusset Coffee bags 

When it comes to packaging coffee, ensuring both freshness and ease of use is critical to your consumer. Bags and pouches are popular packaging solutions because they are lightweight, flexible, and use less material than many other packaging options. ClearBags Side Gusset Coffee bags have long been a popular choice in the industry due to their practicality and versatility. 

ClearBags Side Gusset Coffee bags are known for their efficient use of space. The gussets expand outward, allowing the bag to hold a larger quantity of coffee without needing much extra packaging material and, with the open top feature, are easy to load. With maximized storage and capacity, you can increase the volume of your product while maintaining the durability of your packaging, giving you peace of mind when shipping your coffee to consumers. 

Another key benefit of side gusset bags is their ability to protect your coffee from external elements. With high-barrier materials, a 5.2mil thickness and features like our one-way degassing valves, these bags keep out moisture, light and oxygen, which preserves the coffee’s freshness and rich aroma. ClearBags Side Gusset Coffee bags can be closed using a heat sealer or double wire tin tie (sold separately) to ensure your best product reaches consumers while providing a resealable option. 

Additionally, the design of ClearBags Side Gusset Coffee bags allows them to stand upright when filled, giving your coffee storage a clean and professional appearance on the shelf. The flat front and back panels offer ample space for branding, labels, and other important information. Our FDA approved side gusset coffee bags come in white, silver, kraft and matte black in two different sizes (3 1/8” x 2 3/8” x 10 1/4” as well as 3 3/8” x 2 1/2” x 13”), which allows you plenty of options to choose from in matching your coffee’s branding.
