<p>I've been looking at 1/2 pound bags for home roasting. Initially, I liked the thought of the super decked out bags the big companies seem to use. They are all foil lined with degasser valves and a slick...what vinyl outside? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I recently developed a liking for the really simple bags coava, blue bottle, and stumptown use. They are recycled (or can be), and are just super plain old style "popcorn" like bags with a poly..something lining. </p>

<p>Question: Do they seal the bags? Wouldn't they burst? Are the valves really THAT necessary?</p>

<p>It seems to me that you could let them degas a bit, then package them up. It seems simple, especially since you should be drinking your coffee before you need to worry about how long it stays fresh. I leave my coffee in the bags always, and I also don't buy a lot so I can drink it within two weeks or so.</p> Best Coffee Retail Bag Design/Artwork?tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2011-03-15:1688216:Topic:10548562011-03-15T16:00:53.115ZJoseph Zimmermannhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/JosephZimmermann
<p>Which roaster has the best designed coffee bag artwork you have seen? What kind of info did you consider essential on the bag of a specialty roaster to build value and set them apart?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are a three-year old wholesale specialty coffee roaster that is about to make the switch from sticker label to printed-on-foil packaging. We work very hard on sourcing and roasting great coffees, so we want our bag artwork to be consistent with what is in the bag.I appreciate your insights…</p>

<p>Our shop is currently in the middle of a huge website renovation. (<a href="http://www.traderscoffeehouse.com/">www.traderscoffeehouse.com</a>) The one thing that I think our site is lacking is the ability to order our coffees online. We ship out a lot of coffees as it is (via telephone order) but I really think the convienence of online ordering would boost our coffee bean sales exponentially.</p>

<p>I am looking for some guidence about where to start. Does anyone do this on their website already? If so, what ordering platform do you use? Paypal charges outrageous fees, is there another credit card handling system that measures up? PLEASE HELP!</p>

I'm looking for some suppliers of coffee bags, particularly sustainable/recyclable/biodegradable. Do you know of any, regardless of whether you've done business with them or your opinion of them?<div><br/></div>
<div>Also, are their directories of bag suppliers? The results from Googling are not helpful.</div>

<div>Many thanks.</div>

<b>Has anyone changed their packaging of whole bean and noticed success in doing so?</b><br />
We are thinking of printing our bags (one bag, different stickers for type) to get a custom/unique shelf presence and wonder if it is worth the investment. We currently use Black solid, foil, gusset bags with valve and hand fill/seal each. And add two labels front and back complete the look.<br />
Any thoughts are appreciated.
