Big Bags for Coffee Beans
Food-grade big bags for green and roasted coffee beans: moisture and aroma protection, BRC IoP AA certified production, dimensions made to order.
Coffee beans need different protection depending on where they are in the supply chain. Green coffee is sensitive to its moisture balance and picks up surrounding odours. Roasted coffee loses its aroma as it comes into contact with oxygen.
Configuration options
Every big bag is made to order. Dimensions, capacity and fittings are defined together with you, based on your product and your filling and discharge line.

What to consider for coffee
- Moisture: In green coffee, a rise in moisture increases the risk of mould and lowers quality.
- Odour transfer: Coffee easily picks up foreign odours; a liner separates the product from its surroundings.
- Aroma: For roasted coffee, an aroma and oxygen barrier liner is preferred.
- Handling: Compared with sacks, big bags are filled and discharged with less handling; dimensions are matched to your line.
