Specialized Features

One-Way Compostable Valve

● Essential for fresh roasted coffee. Our bio-valves allow CO2 to escape without letting oxygen in, preventing your bag from bursting while keeping beans fresh.

Premium Closure Systems

● Pocket Zipper (Bio): A tear-strip protected zipper that is easy to fill and provides tamper evidence.
● Tin Tie Compatible: We can apply adhesive bio-based tin ties for the classic coffee shop look and easy resealing.

Eco-Friendly Printing

● We use water-based inks that are free from heavy metals, ensuring the printed biodegradable tea pouches break down safely in compost heaps without toxic residue.

Material

The Barrier Challenge

● Standard PLA films are breathable, which is bad for coffee.


The Meiji Solution

● We co-extrude multi-layer structures specifically for aroma retention.
● Structure A (High Barrier): Kraft Paper / NK (NatureFlex™) / PBS. The NK layer provides oxygen and moisture barriers comparable to metallized plastic.
● Structure B (Metallized Bio): Paper / Metallized-PLA / PBS. A reflective layer blocks UV light and extends shelf life to 12+ months.


Vertical Integration

● By blowing our own bio-sealant film (PBS/PBAT), we optimize the seal strength to withstand the weight of 1kg coffee beans without bottom-seal failure.

Validated Shelf Life

We don't guess; we test. Our lab conducts rigorous OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) testing on all biodegradable coffee pouches. We can prove that our high-barrier bio-films maintain an OTR of < 2.0 cc/m²/day, ensuring your premium coffee tastes just as good in our bio-bags as it does in foil.

True Certification

Beware of "fake green" claims. Our raw materials (PLA, NK, PBS) and finished pouches hold valid TUV Austria OK Compost and BPI certificates. We provide full traceability documents to help you pass retail sustainability audits.

FAQ

How long will coffee stay fresh in your biodegradable pouches?
With our High-Barrier structure (incorporating Cellulose or Metallized layers) and bio-valves, our biodegradable coffee pouches offer a shelf life of 12 to 18 months, comparable to traditional foil bags.
Are the zippers and valves also biodegradable?
Yes. Every component of our biodegradable pouches—including the zipper, valve, and film—is made from certified compostable materials. The entire bag can be disposed of in an organic waste bin.
Can you print complex designs on Kraft paper?
Yes. We offer high-definition printing (Digital or Rotogravure) on both white and brown Kraft paper. We can also print on matte PLA for a modern, paper-free look for your biodegradable tea pouches.
