Flat Bottom coffee pouches
Are the bags resealable?
Yes, many of our bags feature a resealable closure, keeping the coffee fresh and allowing the bag to be resealed after opening.
How does the coffee aroma valve work?
The valve allows gases from freshly roasted coffee to escape while preventing oxygen from entering, preserving the flavor and aroma.
Can I order small quantities?
Absolutely! You can order from as few as 100 pieces. Need larger quantities? Contact us to discuss your options.
PPWR packaging
Must I discard my current stock immediately?
No, transition periods exist. PouchDirect advises ordering PPWR-proof pouches now, preventing unsellable stock in the future.
Can I keep using labels or stickers on my pouches?
Yes, but monitor the material. PouchDirect recommends labels made from the same material as the pouch, such as a PE-sticker on a PE-pouch. This keeps the entire package a mono,material and prevents your pouch from ending up in an incinerator due to a "polluting" label.
Does the PPWR apply to small businesses?
Yes, the law applies to everyone placing packaged products on the European market. PouchDirect supports everyone, from the starting coffee roaster to the large purchase manager.
Are recycled materials (PCR) food,safe?
Absolutely, PouchDirect uses only PCR material meeting the strictest EFSA standards. Food safety remains our non,negotiable requirement.
What happens if I fail to comply with the PPWR?
The EU enforces strict rules with fines and potential sales bans. PouchDirect ensures you stay ahead of these risks.

How do you know what protection your product needs?
It depends on how sensitive your product is to air, moisture, light or odours. Ask yourself: does it lose taste or aroma quickly, choose a high oxygen barrier, such as EVOH or aluminium. Does it get soft or clump due to moisture, choose a moisture barrier film. Is it sensitive to light, consider an opaque or metallized layer. Do you want it to remain recyclable, a mono PE or mono PP with a light barrier coating is often the best choice. Not sure? Contact one of our specialists, we are happy to help.
