250g Recyclable Brown Matt 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) x 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 versions.

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 Brown Matt on both sides, with no window or clear panel, so the contents are not clearly visible. Depending on the product, fill level and lighting, the pouch may appear slightly translucent; however, it is designed to keep the contents concealed from view.

It conceals the contents from view, but it is not completely opaque. Recyclable pouches contain no metallic barrier layer such as VMPET, which is what makes them recyclable, and it is also that metallic layer that provides a light barrier in our conventional pouches. Some light will therefore pass through this pouch. If light protection matters for your product, please validate shelf life with your own product, or ask us about our metallised laminated ranges, which offer a light barrier but are not recyclable.

Yes, the whole pouch including the resealable zip and valve. It is a mono-material structure, MDOPE / EVOH-PE, with no metallised or aluminium layer, so it can be recycled as a polyethylene film.

Please note it is not currently widely collected at kerbside. It should be taken to a soft plastics or carrier bag collection point, which you will usually find at larger supermarkets. Make sure the pouch is empty, clean and dry, and remove any non-PE label or attachment where you can.

Our conventional pouches are laminates of different plastics, usually including a metallised VMPET layer, and those layers cannot be separated for recycling. This pouch is built entirely from polyethylene-based layers — MDOPE with an EVOH-PE barrier — so it can be processed as a single material stream.

No. It is recyclable, but it is neither compostable nor biodegradable. Please do not describe or label it as compostable, biodegradable or home compostable.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.
