Coffee Kraft Bags built to your specification — your dimensions, your board, your print.

Name, email, phone and what you are packing and the volumes you run. Attach artwork if you have it. We reply with a specification and a written price, usually within one business day.
Coffee Kraft Bags are specified for specialty roasters selling through shops and online where stock may sit for weeks. A kraft outer with a foil or mono-material liner gives the appearance and the barrier. Kraft alone gives only the appearance.
Coffee Kraft Bags hold roasted coffee beans or grounds, where the bag has to hold aroma as well as weight. That is the starting point for the specification, because a kraft outer with a foil or mono-material liner gives the appearance and the barrier. Kraft alone gives only the appearance.
In service they are used for specialty roasters selling through shops and online where stock may sit for weeks.
Shelf presence is decided at arm's length, not close up. Contrast, the front panel hierarchy and how the pack sits next to competitors matter more than a finish that only reads in the hand.
If coffee kraft bags will be faced on a shelf, tell us the facing orientation so the strongest panel is the one the customer sees.
Kraft laminated to a barrier liner, with a one-way degassing valve for anything recently roasted.
The options we would consider for this format are below; a kraft outer with a foil or mono-material liner gives the appearance and the barrier. Kraft alone gives only the appearance.
Recycled content, kerbside recyclability and certified compostability are three different claims requiring three different kinds of evidence. Brands get into trouble by treating them as one.
Tell us which claim you intend to print on the pack and we will specify a material that supports it, or say plainly that it does not exist at your price point.
Sized by fill weight — 250g, 500g and 1kg are the common steps rather than linear dimensions.
Send the contents rather than a box size. Kraft is chosen for the look and the barrier is assumed. Plain kraft has essentially no oxygen barrier at all.
Kraft limits colour vibrancy. Roasters usually work with that rather than against it — a restrained palette suits the material.
Flexography, Offset lithography, Digital press are all available for this format. Run length usually decides which is cheapest: digital removes the plate cost on short quantities, offset and flexo overtake it at volume.
Aroma escapes through an unlined kraft bag over weeks, and the coffee is flat before it is opened.
Paperboard also absorbs moisture from the air until it equalises with its surroundings. If stock sits more than about six weeks in unconditioned space, a moisture-resistant coating is worth its small premium.
The useful starting point is the product, not the pack. Give us its measurements and the quantity, and we work the paper bag outward from there.
You approve the quote, we send the dieline, prepress proofs it, and production follows. The proof stage is where changes are still free.
A plain structural sample is the cheapest way to find a fit problem — far cheaper than finding it across a full run.
Sample costs are normally credited against the production order.
Kraft is chosen for the look and the barrier is assumed. Plain kraft has essentially no oxygen barrier at all.
The rest of these come up often enough across the format to be worth stating plainly.

Answers
Specification, minimums and lead times for coffee kraft bags.
Only if it is lined. Plain kraft has almost no oxygen barrier, so coffee flattens within weeks. A kraft outer laminated to a barrier liner gives you the appearance and the shelf life together.
We specify food-contact compliant boards and inks where the pack touches food directly. Tell us whether contact is direct or through a liner for coffee kraft bags, because it changes which stocks are available to you.
A grease-resistant coating or a greaseproof liner. Untreated board will always strike through eventually with hot, oily food — that is a property of the material rather than a quality fault, and it is inexpensive to design out.
It depends on the load, not the look. Twisted paper handles suit light contents; flat paper is stronger for the same cost; cotton rope carries the most and reads as the most premium. Above a few kilos the failure point is usually the bag tearing at the handle, so a reinforced top edge matters as much as the handle itself.
That is set by the paper weight and the top-edge reinforcement together rather than by the handle alone. Tell us the heaviest thing you will put in coffee kraft bags and we will specify to it rather than to an average.
Slightly, at the same caliper — recycled fibres are shorter, so the board is a little less stiff and takes on moisture a little faster. Stepping up one caliper generally restores the performance while keeping the recycled claim intact.
We can state the recycled content of the board and supply the mill documentation behind it. We do not issue certifications ourselves, and we would rather give you the underlying evidence than a claim you cannot substantiate.
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. For this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. We quote each element separately so you can see where the money is going. Finishing passes are the lever buyers most often underestimate: each one is a separate run through the line.
Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for colour and finish. Sample costs are normally credited against the production order. Worth running a few through your actual line rather than checking them by hand: fill speed and hot contents find fit problems that a desk check does not.
Send the current specification or a physical sample and we will quote to match it rather than proposing an alternative you would then have to re-approve internally. Tell us the coating on the pack you are matching too. Grease and moisture resistance are not visible in a sample and they change which stocks we can quote.
All 50 US states, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, on the same timeline everywhere: 3 to 5 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5 to 7 business days in transit. Every run is made to order and shipped directly to your address rather than pulled from stock, so you receive current production rather than whatever has been sitting in a warehouse. Freight is costed separately by weight, volume and destination. If stock is going into a kitchen or a service counter rather than a warehouse, tell us — case sizes that a single person can lift and store matter more there than pallet efficiency.
Every run is cut to your dimensions — there are no stock sizes here. Send the product measurements rather than a box size and we will build the paper bag around them, then send a dieline template you can design onto.
