Tin Tie Coffee Bags
Wholesale Tin Tie Coffee Bags FAQ
How much vertical height do I lose when folding down a tin tie coffee bag?
You need to leave a minimum of 2.5 to 3 inches of empty vertical headspace at the top of the bag to allow the paper or foil tabs to fold over cleanly. While the raw dimensions of our 1 lb. side gusset bag are 3.5" x 12.75" x 2.5", filling the bag completely to the rim prevents the structural metal bands from locking down, exposing your coffee beans to ambient air.
Before programming your automated net-weigh fillers or volumetric funnel drops, check the exact external boundaries by reviewing the technical specification tables inside each product listing.
Can I heat seal these side gusset bags if they already have a tin tie attached?
Yes, you can heat seal the top edge of these pouches to create a tamper-evident retail seal before the customer uses the integrated tin tie for reclosure. If your bags feature an inner liner laminate or heat-sealable polymer barrier, run them through a continuous band sealer directly above or below the tie bar mechanism to secure the package for distribution.
For facility instruction on managing oxygen transmission rates, multi-layer preservation boundaries, and barrier thickness variations, check out our Architecture of the Pouch Guide.
Why are my labels creasing and lifting along the sides of these coffee pouches?
Standard stickers will always crease and wing out if they cross past the flat 3.5-inch face panel and touch the expanding 2.5-inch side gusset seams. To stop wrinkles on conveyor filling lines, your label width must stay under 3 inches to remain completely on the flat front face, avoiding the four vertical corner hinges entirely.
If you want to keep using labels but want them applied perfectly without manual warehouse labor, our automated setup can pre-sticker the flat panels for you via our In-House Label Application Service. For high-volume scaling where you want edge-to-edge graphics across the expanding folds without using stickers at all, upgrade your entire line by switching to Custom Coffee Bags.
What minimum pack sizes can I order to test new seasonal roasts?
