250g Kraft Paper With Valve Stand Up Pouch/Bag with Zip Lock [SP4] (100 per pack)

This pouch is designed to hold approximately 250g of coffee beans. Other products may occupy more or less space depending on their density, shape and particle size. We recommend testing a sample with your own product before ordering in volume.

For guidance on pouch size, see our size chart, which suggests suitable bag sizes using examples including pick-and-mix sweets, protein powder and sugar or salt. This provides a useful starting point for comparing products with different densities and forms.

The pouch measures 160mm(W) x 230mm(H) + 90mm(G), Width x Height + Total Bottom Gusset.

Freshly roasted coffee releases carbon dioxide. The one-way valve lets that gas escape from the pouch but does not let outside air back in, so the pouch does not balloon or put pressure on its seals.

If you are packing whole coffee beans, especially freshly roasted, a degassing valve is strongly recommended. Without one, the gas builds up, the pouch balloons, and it can eventually burst or force a seal open. For products that do not release gas, such as tea, granola or confectionery, a valve is not needed — view our non-valve version of Kraft Paper stand up pouches.

No. A label, sticker or stamp over the valve stops it releasing gas. Please position labels clear of the valve.

The valve lets gas out and restricts air getting in, which supports your coffee as it degasses. It does not make the pouch airtight or guarantee a particular shelf life. Freshness also depends on your roast, packing process, storage and how the pouch is resealed after opening, so please validate this with your own coffee.

That is down to your roast and your own practice. Roast level, bean type and resting time all affect how much gas is released. Please test a filled, sealed sample over several days to confirm the pouch does not inflate.

No. This pouch is kraft paper on both sides and fully opaque as it is layered with a metallic PET barrier. If you would like the contents visible, view our Valve Window Kraft Paper stand up pouches or Valve Clear / Kraft Paper stand up pouches.

No. The kraft paper is the outer layer and the contents are in contact with the inner PE film only. Please request the relevant technical specification and, where applicable, food-contact documentation for your application.

Yes, and kraft is one of the best pouch materials for it. The uncoated paper surface accepts ink from a rubber or polymer stamp, so you can stamp your logo, business name, batch number, roast date or flavour directly onto the pouch. It gives an authentic, handmade finish and avoids a minimum print run on labels, which makes it well suited to small batches and market stalls.

Results depend on your ink, stamp and how much ink you apply. Please order a sample and test first. Ink on uncoated kraft can take time to dry and may smudge or transfer if handled too soon, so stamp before filling where possible and allow the ink to dry fully. We cannot guarantee stamping results, as the ink and method are yours.

Ink choice and food-contact compliance are your responsibility. Rightpak's documentation covers the pouch as supplied and does not extend to stamped or altered pouches.

Yes. Kraft paper takes labels well and the natural surface suits both paper and printed labels. Because kraft is a textured, uncoated material, we recommend testing your label on a sample to check adhesion and finished appearance before ordering in volume.

We would advise against it, and we do not offer it. Applying ink and heat to a finished pouch can affect the inner food-contact layer and risks migration, so the pouch may no longer be suitable for food use. Once a pouch has been over-printed after manufacture, it can no longer be relied upon as suitable for food contact, and our technical and food-contact documentation no longer applies to it.

Custom printed pouches work differently. The design is printed as part of the manufacturing process, before the pouch is laminated and formed, so the print is sealed within the structure, and the food-contact layer is unaffected. Get In Touch with us discuss custom printed pouches or Get a Quote.

Stock pouches are ready-made, held in stock and supplied unprinted, so you add your own labels. Minimum order quantity is 100 pouches.

Custom printed pouches are manufactured to order with your design printed into the pouch during production, rather than applied afterwards. You choose the size, material, finish and features, and the print covers the full pouch. Minimum order quantities and lead times apply, and we will guide you through artwork requirements.

If you would like your branding on a stock pouch in the meantime, labels are the right route, and many of our customers start there before moving to custom printed pouches as volumes grow.

Kraft paper is an uncoated natural material, so it can mark, scuff or stain more readily than a film surface, and it should be kept dry. Handle and store the pouches in dry conditions and avoid chilled, frozen or humid environments unless you have validated this with your own product.

Kraft paper is a natural material, so shade and texture can vary slightly between production batches. If an exact colour match matters to you, please order a sample and speak to us before ordering in volume.

No. Although the outside is paper, this is not a paper pouch. It is a laminate: a kraft paper outer bonded to inner plastic layers VMPET and a PE food-contact layer. Those layers are permanently bonded and cannot be separated, so the pouch cannot be processed through paper recycling or plastic recycling routes.

Please do not place these pouches in paper or card recycling. Doing so contaminates the recycling streams. Kraft paper Pouches should be disposed of in general waste.

No. Neither home compostable nor industrially compostable, and not biodegradable. The kraft paper outer would break down, but the inner layer VMPET plus the PE food-contact layer will not, and they cannot be separated from the paper.

A pouch can only be described as compostable if the complete construction has been certified to the relevant standard. This pouch has not been, so please do not label or market it as compostable, biodegradable or eco-friendly.

It is a fair assumption, and a common one. The paper is only the outer layer. To protect your product, keep it fresh and allow the pouch to be heat sealed, the paper is laminated to inner plastic films, including a PE food-contact layer that touches the contents. Recycling requires materials to be separated into single streams, and these layers are bonded together permanently. That is why a pouch that looks and feels like paper cannot go into paper recycling.

If recyclability is a requirement for your brand, please view our kraft-look Recyclable Brown Matt Stand Up Pouches designed to imitate a Kraft Paper Stand Up Pouch, or contact us to discuss the options available.

Products are sold in multiples of 100 pouches and may be supplied in more than one inner bag or carton for safe handling and delivery.

Yes. The minimum order quantity for ready-made stock pouches is 100 pouches, excluding fully customised pouches.

Stock pouches are sold in multiples of 100, so you can order 100, 200, 300, 400 pouches and above. Fully customised pouches are subject to separate minimum order quantities.

Bulk-buy discounts apply when you order larger quantities of the same product and SKU. Different products, sizes, colours or formats cannot be combined to qualify for a quantity discount.

Yes. The pouch includes a resealable zip-lock closure to support convenient reclosure between uses. Please validate its performance with your own filled product and expected use conditions before commercial use.

The pouch is designed to be heat sealed above the zip closure. Seal settings and results depend on your equipment, product, temperature, dwell time, pressure and production conditions. As the outer layer is paper, also check that your settings do not scorch or mark the outer surface. Please test the pouch with your product before commercial use.

Food-contact suitability must be confirmed for the exact pouch construction and your intended application. Please request the relevant technical specification and, where applicable, food-contact documentation before ordering or using the pouch.

No general hot-fill or liquid-product claim is made for this pouch. Please contact Rightpak before using it with hot, warm, wet, liquid, acidic, oily or other specialist products.

Relevant documents may be available for approved business customers. Request access before ordering or using the pouch where your application requires food-contact, technical, regulatory or quality approval.
