Side gusset bags
Side Gusset Bags – The Practical Coffee Bag with Valve and Style
Side gusset bags with an aroma valve in matte black or matte gold for coffee and other degassing products. The side folds add extra volume and a stable stand while keeping the footprint compact – ideal for coffee roasters, tea merchants, and anyone packaging freshly roasted or ground goods to a high standard.
The OPP matte / aluminum / PE laminate provides a very high barrier against moisture, light and oxygen, keeping aroma and freshness locked in. The built-in aroma valve releases excess gas without letting aroma escape – especially important for freshly roasted coffee.
Applications in Detail
The aroma valve makes these bags especially suited to products that keep releasing gas after filling.
Processing & Handling
The side gussets process reliably both by hand and on standard coffee filling lines. After filling, the bag is sealed across the top – the seal seam sits sideways in the gusset fold, so the front and back stay completely free for your label or print.
The aroma valve is factory-fitted and needs no additional assembly. Please check compatibility with your existing filling equipment before placing large orders.
