Side gusset coffee bags cover the broader coffee packaging need — ground coffee, tea, ready-to-brew pods, and pre-roasted beans that have already off-gassed — where a degassing valve isn’t the deciding factor, and Crat Packaging builds these with the same expandable side-panel structure minus that specific feature. This is the format for coffee and tea products that don’t need active CO2 venting.

Coffee and Tea Packaging Without the Off-Gassing Problem
Not every coffee product needs a degassing valve. Ground coffee releases far less CO2 than whole beans, tea doesn’t off-gas at all, and beans that have already rested for a week or more have released most of their gas before bagging. For these products, a moisture-barrier side gusset bag protects freshness without the added cost and complexity of a valve — see our Side Gusset Coffee Bag With Valve page if you’re bagging beans immediately after roasting instead.
Use Cases
- Ground coffee brands packaging pre-ground retail bags.
- Tea companies bagging loose-leaf or bagged tea products.
- Coffee pod and capsule brands needing outer bulk packaging.
- Roasters selling rested beans where valves aren’t necessary.
Barrier and Finish Options
Choose kraft paper for a natural retail look or foil laminate for maximum moisture and light protection, both available with matte, gloss, or kraft-natural print finishes.
Eco-Friendly Coffee and Tea Packaging
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified material options for side gusset coffee bags, so your coffee or tea line can carry a sustainability message too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a degassing valve for my product?
Only if you’re bagging freshly roasted whole beans; ground coffee, tea, and rested beans typically don’t need one — see our Side Gusset Coffee Bag With Valve page if you do.

Yes, we can switch your bag design to the valve format for future orders.
What materials protect against moisture best?
Foil laminate offers the strongest moisture and light barrier for longer shelf life.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Orders start at 1,000 units.
Is this format suitable for tea as well as coffee?
Yes, the same moisture-barrier side gusset bag works well for loose-leaf and bagged tea.

Yes, recyclable and FSC-certified material options are available.
