Side-Gusset Coffee Bags

The details

Side-Gusset Coffee Bags

The side-gusset bag is what most people picture when they picture coffee. Folded panels down each side let the bag expand as it fills and give it that tall, square-shouldered stance on a shelf, and the folded-over top with a tin tie is the closure customers already know how to use. It is the most recognizably ‘coffee’ format there is, which is worth something in an aisle full of pouches.

It is also efficient. Side-gusset bags use less film per unit than a flat-bottom bag of the same volume, which keeps cost per unit down on high-volume SKUs, and they ship and store flat until they are filled. For roasters running several sizes, the format scales cleanly from a 250g retail bag to a five-pound wholesale sack without changing how the line runs.

Print runs across the front, back and both gussets, so the side panels can carry origin details, tasting notes or a roast date box instead of being wasted. A degassing valve can be fitted on the front or back panel, and the tin tie can be swapped for a heat seal where the bag is going into a wholesale box rather than onto a shelf.

Side-gusset bags suit roasters who want the traditional retail silhouette and the best cost per unit. Free artwork back within 24 hours, unlimited revisions, minimum twelve. Get a quote for custom side-gusset coffee bags and we will show the print across all four panels.
