As a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, we have produced many food packaging, such as dog food, dried fruit, beverages, frozen food packaging, etc. In order to ensure the freshness of food and extend the shelf life, we will use materials with high barrier properties for the packaging , Such as aluminum foil, PVDC, EVOH, to protect the product from the harm of oxygen, humidity, moisture and so on. However, for coffee packaging, whether for coffee beans or ground coffee, in addition to the high barrier properties required by other foods, packaging design should be considered carefully as well.
