Coffee & Tea

Drip bag, sachet, and canister filling for ground coffee, instant coffee, and teas.

Overview

Coffee and tea packaging is driven by freshness, aroma retention, and premium presentation. From nitrogen-flushed ground coffee pouches to individually wrapped teabags, Vedvik Machinery provides systems that protect product quality while maintaining high throughput across multiple SKUs.

Challenges

Industry Requirements

Aroma and Freshness

Coffee degrades within hours of roasting if not sealed in a high-barrier pack with a one-way degassing valve. Film selection and seal integrity are paramount.

Nitrogen Flushing

Oxygen in coffee and tea packaging accelerates staling. Nitrogen flushing integrated into the filling station extends shelf life from weeks to months.

Fine Powder Handling

Instant coffee and fine tea powders are highly hygroscopic and prone to caking. Filling stations must include agitation and anti-bridging systems.

Premium Presentation

Coffee and tea are premium categories. Packaging aesthetics — seal quality, valve placement, print accuracy — directly affect brand positioning and retail performance.
