Coffee & Tea

coffee beans and tea leaves

Where would we be without coffee and tea? These delightful beverages keep the world buzzing and represent billions of dollars of revenue for businesses worldwide. But to get coffee or tea to market, a business needs the right packaging. IMPAK will help.
Whether your coffee is whole bean or ground or your tea is loose leaf or in packets, the right packaging can keep your product relaiably fresh, aromatic, and flavorful. But more importantly, the right sealer will make a huge difference in delivering the taste you want.

Control the Oxygen, Control the Flavor

Arguably the most important factor in maintaining freshness when packaging coffee and tea is oxygen content. Anyone who deals in these beans and leaves knows that oxygen degrades taste and aroma, and can cause rancidity. Ideally your package should have an oxygen content of 3% or less, and the best way to do this is by incorporating a nitrogen (gas) flush when sealing your product in a container with a ultra-low OTR (oxygen transmission rate). Additionally, using a vacuum-seal and/or oxygen absorber packets will definitely ensure a practically oxygen-free environment.
