Fabricante de bolsas de café reciclables personalizadas para marcas de café

You have committed to recyclable packaging. Now the bag has to survive two sets of eyes: the customer reading the back panel, and — if you sell into Europe — the regulation that took effect in August 2026. Most “recyclable” bags on the market fail the second test because the valve, the zipper or the barrier layer is a different material.

We build mono-material PE coffee bags from 20g to 1kg, including the closures. De 2011, manufacturing in Dongguan and Foshan under BRCGS Food Safety and ISO 22000:2018, supplying brands in more than 50 markets with a 99.5% Tasa de entrega puntual.

Why Coffee Brands Choose YPAK for Recyclable Bags

Four things buyers check before they ask for a price. Each one is answerable on paper.

One material, all the way through

The pouch body, the zipper and the valve are PE. There is no aluminium layer to separate and no mixed-material closure to strip before the bag can enter a PE stream. This is the difference between a bag that is theoretically recyclable and one that a recycler will actually accept.

Barrier without foil

Our mono-PE structures reach a high oxygen barrier through AlOx coating or an EVOH core layer, instead of an aluminium foil laminate. Measured values on our mono-PE + AlOx structure: OTR < 5 cc/m²/día y WVTR ≤ 0.5 g/m²/24 horas, measured in our own laboratory.

Recycled content when you need it

A PCR layer can be built into the same mono-PE structure, supplied with GRS / RCS certification and a transaction certificate traceable to the batch.

A minimum order you can actually start with

2,000 pedazos. Samples in 2–3 days on stock structures.

The Coffee Bag Range

Four formats cover most of what a coffee brand ships. Fondo plano, stand up and side gusset can each be specified in a mono-material PE structure with PE closures when the recyclability claim matters. The flat pouch is the single-use format, normally a paper drip filter.

Bolsa de fondo plano

Diseño de bolso elegante y de moda, La mejor opción para café premium. A flat base lets the bag stand square on the shelf, and it takes a zipper, a valve and — in mono-PE — a transparent window. Available from 20g to 1kg.

Bolsa de Pie

Estilo clásico,a great value choice.Stands up on its own once filled,and takes a degassing valve and zipper.Available from 150g to 1kg,including the diamond-shaped variant that is currently a strong seller in the Middle East.

Bolsa de soporte lateral

Puede mantenerse erguida después de llenarse de alubias, lo que lo hace adecuado para tamaños grandes. Two side gussets give the bag its volume, with a tin tie or a valve for resealing. Available from 20g to 1kg.

Bolsa plana

De un solo uso, Normalmente se usa con un filtro de café por goteo. A flat three-side-seal pouch with no base — the standard format for drip bags and single-serve packs. Drip filter versions hold 8g to 15g of coffee.

How the Structure Works

A recyclable coffee bag is an argument about layers. Here is ours, opened up.

Layer	Material	Recyclability note
Outer print layer	O (reverse printed)	Carries the artwork. Same polymer as the rest of the bag
Barrier layer	AlOx coating or EVOH core	Blocks oxygen and moisture. AlOx is a sub-micron coating on PE, not a separate film; EVOH is co-extruded
Sealant layer	O	Sellado térmico, food contact. Same polymer

Mono-PE + AlOx

Barrera alta. OTR < 5 cc/m²/día, WVTR ≤ 0.5 g/m²/24hrs measured in our own laboratory. Flujo de PE de un solo material.

Mono-PE + EVOH

Medium to high barrier, Dependiente de la aplicación. EVOH raises the oxygen barrier for longer shelf-life requirements. Recyclability must be assessed on the actual EVOH ratio in the structure.

Mono-PE + PCR

De media a alta, Dependiente de la aplicación. Flujo PE con contenido reciclado. GRS / RCS con certificado de transacción.

What “Recyclable” Actually Requires in Practice

Three conditions decide whether a mono-material bag gets recycled. We would rather you know them before you print.

1. A PE flexible collection stream has to exist where your customer lives

Mono-PE is designed for the PE stream. In markets where soft plastic is not collected separately, the bag will not be recycled regardless of its structure — it will be sorted out. If recyclability is a claim on your pack, check the collection reality in your selling market first.

2. Print coverage affects sorting

Heavy ink coverage and dark full-bleed designs make near-infrared sorting harder. Lighter coverage and leaving unprinted areas helps the bag be identified as PE. We will tell you when an artwork direction works against the structure.

3. The closures have to match

A PE bag with a PP valve, or a PE bag with a PET zipper, is not single-material in the eyes of a sorting facility. This is where most “recyclable” bags fail on inspection.

Ask Us to Review Your Structure

From Brief to Delivered Bags: Six Steps

Each step states what you get and how long it takes. Paso 3 includes our published sample prices.

1.Requirement and structure confirmation

Tell us the fill weight, El formato, the market you sell into and whether the recyclability claim will appear on the pack. We come back with a structure recommendation and a straight answer on what that structure can and cannot claim.

Talk to an Engineer →

2.Structure and artwork development

We confirm layer build, Objetivo de barrera, closure type and print method. Artwork is reviewed against the printable area and the material identification requirement before anything goes to press. Free design support is included.

Design Service →

3.Muestreo

Stock material and size samples are free and ship in 1 día. Transparent bags take 2–3 days. Digital-printed film takes 7–12 days at $100 (unlaminated) o $200 (laminated to production material). Full details are on our sample policy page — including what each option can and cannot prove.

See the Full Sample Policy →

4.Pre-production confirmation

Materials are purchased only after the sample is signed off. Color, texture and structure are locked against the approved sample, and the batch identification rule is recorded for the technical file.

5.Production and inspection

Printed on HP Indigo 25K digital presses for short runs, or rotogravure for volume. Focas, zippers and valves are checked before packing.

6.Packing and shipment

Export packing with batch identification, packed to the specification agreed at step 4.

Conformidad: What We Can Prove, and What You Sign

Si vendes a la UE, the recyclability question is now also a documentation question. The PPWR (Regulación (NOSOTROS) 2025/40) ha solicitado desde entonces 12 Agosto 2026.

What applies	Detail	Where it comes from
Grados de reciclabilidad	A (≥95%), B (≥80%), C (≥70%). Grades apply from 1 Jan 2030; de 2038 solo se pueden poner en el mercado A o B	Arte. 6(3), Tabla del Anexo II 3
Contenido reciclado	10% for contact-sensitive packaging made from plastics other than PET, de 2030 (o 3 years after the implementing act, lo que sea más tarde)	Arte. 7(1)(b)
Límites de PFAS	25 ppb any single PFAS, 250 ppb sum of PFAS, 50 ppm including polymeric PFAS	Arte. 5(5)
Metales pesados	Pb + CD + Hg + Cr(TÚ) ≤ 100 mg/kg	Arte. 5(4)
Etiqueta armonizada	Material-composition pictogram and digital identifier, de 12 Agosto 2028 o 24 Meses después de las leyes de ejecución	Arte. 12

What we supply to your technical file

Structure declaration, material identification code, OTR / WVTR test references, PFAS and heavy-metal test reports, GRS / RCS with transaction certificate where recycled content applies.

What we do not do

We do not sign your declaration of conformity. Under the PPWR the manufacturer placing the packaging on the market draws up and signs the DoC; we provide the input data that goes into Annex VII.

Preguntas más frecuentes

Ten questions we get asked before a first order. The awkward ones are answered honestly.

1.Is a recyclable bag more expensive than a standard foil bag?

Sí. Mono-PE with AlOx or EVOH costs more than an aluminium-foil laminate today. What changes is what the bag can claim and which market it can enter. We will quote both structures side by side so you can see the actual difference for your specification rather than a percentage.

2.Will the barrier be good enough for coffee?

On our mono-PE + AlOx structure we measure OTR < 5 cc/m²/día y WVTR ≤ 0.5 g/m²/24hrs in our own laboratory. Ask us for the test reference for the specific structure you are considering — the numbers differ between AlOx, EVOH and PCR builds.

3.Are the valve and zipper recyclable too?

Sí, when specified in PE. This is the part most suppliers cannot do: a PE pouch with a PP valve is no longer single-material at the sorting stage. Confirm the closure material in your specification.

4.How long does the coffee stay fresh?

The pack has a service life of 12 Para 18 months under normal storage conditions. Shelf life after filling depends on your roast, degassing and storage, so we recommend re-testing rather than assuming from your previous structure.

5.What is the minimum order?

2,000 pedazos. Digital printing can run multiple designs within one order, which is useful for origin ranges and seasonal releases.

6.How fast can I get a sample?

Stock material samples are free and ship in 1 día. A transparent bag takes 2–3 days. A digital-printed film takes 7–12 days. Full pricing is on the sample policy page.

7.Do you supply the bag and the carton as one kit?

Sí. Bag-and-box kits are an existing product line, printed to the same artwork so the bag, the carton and any insert match. Useful when the retail unit is sold as a gift or subscription pack.

8.Can you add recycled content?

Yes — a PCR layer can be built into the same mono-PE structure, with GRS / RCS certification and a transaction certificate. Note that from 2030 the PPWR sets a 10% minimum for contact-sensitive non-PET packaging.

9.Will this bag pass the EU recyclability grade?

The grading criteria come from delegated acts that are still being finalised. What we can tell you now is the structure: single material, closures included, no aluminium. Whether it reaches grade A, B or C will be determined under those acts, and we will not promise a grade before the criteria exist.

10.Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

A manufacturer. Flexible packaging production in Dongguan and Foshan since 2011, certified to BRCGS Food Safety and ISO 22000:2018.
