Eco Friendly Reusable Tea Bag Packaging​

A 140-micron matte aluminium/PE pouch for tea and coffee, delivering light, moisture and oxygen barrier for roasters and tea brands.

This pouch is built from a matte oil finish over pure aluminium foil and a PE inner layer, at 140 micron. The aluminium foil provides an effective barrier against light, oxygen and moisture, which helps protect the aroma and flavour of tea leaves and ground coffee. The matte oil coating gives a soft, non-reflective surface that takes print well. The PE layer allows heat sealing and is food-safe. The structure is customizable, so the thickness and material combination can be adjusted to suit different barrier requirements or sustainability goals.

The pack is typically used for tea leaves, coffee beans or ground coffee. It runs on standard form-fill-seal lines or can be supplied as pre-made pouches for manual filling. Sealing requires consistent heat and pressure to ensure the PE layers bond fully. A one-way degassing valve can be added for roasted coffee, while a zipper or tear notch improves reusability. A window is not recommended because it would break the aluminium barrier. If recyclability is a priority, a mono-material PE structure may be a better choice, but it will not match the barrier performance of aluminium foil.

Frequently asked

Can this pouch be used for ground coffee?
Yes, the aluminium foil layer provides an excellent barrier against oxygen and moisture, which helps preserve the flavour of ground coffee. For roasted coffee, adding a one-way degassing valve is recommended to release CO2 without letting air in.
Is the material recyclable?
The standard matte oil/aluminium/PE structure is not recyclable in most curbside systems because it combines different materials. If recyclability is a priority, consider a mono-material PE or PP structure, though it will offer lower barrier protection.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom sizes?
For digital printing, MOQ starts from 100 pouches or 10 kg of film. For rotogravure printing, MOQ is 10,000 pouches or 200 kg of film. Lead time is 10-15 working days for digital and 20-25 working days for rotogravure after artwork approval.
