The coffee market is changing. Rising green coffee prices, new product and packaging concepts, the growing importance of premium and specialty coffee, and regulatory requirements such as the PPWR are reshaping what coffee packaging needs to deliver. Today’s solutions need to combine product protection, performance, brand impact, and long-term viability.
SÜDPACK supports coffee roasters throughout this transition, whether for whole beans or ground coffee. From conventional laminate structures and polyolefin-based solutions to recyclable mono-materials, we offer the right packaging solution for each development step. As a partner across the entire value chain, we combine in-house extrusion, high-quality printing technologies, technical consulting, and tailored support with carbon and recyclability assessments. The result is high-performance, future-ready packaging concepts designed to meet both current and future requirements.
From proven laminate structures such as PET/Alu/PE and polyolefin-based solutions to recyclable mono-PP or PE concepts, we offer the right packaging solution for every stage of development. As a partner across the entire value chain, we combine in-house extrusion, high-quality printing technologies, technical consulting, and tailored support with carbon and recyclability assessments. With the PPWR in mind, we help our customers develop future-ready packaging concepts that effectively combine product protection, performance, and Design for Recycling.
Whatever the material structure, product protection, process reliability, and reliable processing are key priorities for coffee packaging. Our portfolio offers solutions for a wide range of requirements – from proven laminate structures and polyolefin-based concepts to recyclable mono-materials. Our packaging solutions combine high barrier properties with reliable processing and sealing performance – for efficient packaging processes.
Your advantages
The PPWR, tighter recyclability requirements, and the growing impact of packaging design on regulatory costs are bringing overall packaging performance into sharper focus. There is also growing emphasis on resource efficiency, circularity, and lifecycle thinking. With our PP-based packaging solutions, we help coffee roasters prepare their packaging portfolios for future market, retail, and regulatory requirements.
For consumers, packaging is often the first point of contact with a brand. High-quality print images, premium finishes, and good pack stability all help create a strong presence on the shelf. Whether flexo, rotogravure, or digital printing, our printing experts develop packaging solutions tailored precisely to the product, brand, and customer requirements. Gloss, matte, and tactile effects provide additional differentiation and reinforce the product’s premium appeal.
CarbonLite® Flow Pack PurePP is a PP-based coffee packaging solution that combines product protection, performance, and future readiness. Its mono-PP structure is aligned with Design for Recycling principles and helps coffee brands prepare their packaging portfolios for the PPWR. At the same time, this solution runs reliably on existing VFFS machines and offers high sealing strength together with high-performance barriers against oxygen, water vapor, UV radiation, and nitrogen. High oil resistance, excellent puncture resistance, and secure sealing of aroma protection valves ensure dependable product protection. Its high rigidity and pack stability also ensure an attractive presentation at the point of sale.
CarbonLite® Flow Pack PurePP helps coffee roasters adapt their packaging portfolios for the PPWR as well as future market requirements. Compared with a conventional PET/Alu/PE structure, this PP-based solution can reduce packaging weight by up to 15%*, or by as much as 44%* with the metallized PP variant. A screening LCA for coffee packaging also indicates the potential to reduce the carbon footprint by up to 43%, and by up to 50% for the metallized variant compared with a PET/Alu/PE reference structure.**
* Die Berechnungen erfolgen anhand der jeweiligen Materialdicke (µm), der intern hinterlegten Flächengewichte (g/m²) sowie der eingesetzten Materialstrukturen.
** The calculations are based on an internal screening LCA comparing a PET/Alu/PE reference structure with PP-based alternatives, taking the German recycling mix into account
Rising costs, changing consumer habits, and new regulatory requirements are reshaping the coffee market and, with it, the role of packaging.
Whether you’re a coffee roaster or a producer of coffee products, our innovative and sustainable packaging concepts are tailored to your needs and guaranteed to make a strong impression at the POS – thanks to their premium, on-brand appearance. They also reliably preserve the aroma of your high-quality product.
