Packaging for Coffee Roasters

Packaging for coffee roasters has to hold a degassing valve, survive oil migration and still look like a brand on a shelf. Here is what actually works, and the sizes to design at.

The formats that actually fit

Every one of these is a construction TWOFORM generates a real production dieline for, at your own dimensions — not a template you have to fit your product into.

The thing that decides it

The valve position is a structural decision, not artwork

A one-way degassing valve is heat-welded through the film, so the artwork behind it is destroyed. Decide the valve position before you design, keep it out of your logo and off any text, and treat that patch as unprintable area. On TWOFORM the valve sits on the fabrication layer of the dieline, so you can see exactly what it covers before anything prints.

The mistake this category makes

Designing at the wrong fill weight

Roasters routinely design one bag and then discover 12oz whole bean and 12oz ground need different gussets to sit upright. Bean volume is not weight — pick the fill first, generate the dieline at that size, and check it stands in 3D before you commit to a print run.

How you actually make it

  1. Pick the construction and type your real dimensions. The dieline is generated at that exact size and validated against real manufacturing limits as it draws — if a size cannot be folded, glued and shipped, it says so before you design anything on it.
  2. Describe your brand and the AI designs the artwork directly onto that dieline — not onto a picture of a box.
  3. Place your own logo, barcode and any required panel yourself. The AI leaves them exactly as placed unless you ask it to change them.
  4. Fold it in live 3D to check it, then download print-ready files to use with any printer — or have TWOFORM manufacture it, from 100 units.

Questions coffee roasters ask

What size bag do I need for 12oz of coffee?

Whole bean at 12oz typically needs a larger volume than ground at the same weight because beans pack less densely. Rather than guess, generate the dieline at your intended dimensions and check it folds and stands — TWOFORM validates the size against real manufacturing limits as it draws.

Can I add a degassing valve to a custom coffee pouch?

Yes. The valve is applied as a fabrication step through the film. Keep artwork, logos and legal copy clear of the valve patch, because the weld destroys whatever is printed underneath it.

Do I need a different bag for every single-origin?

No — most roasters print one branded bag and carry origin, roast date and tasting notes on a label. That way one stocked bag serves every lot and you only reprint the label.
