Custom Tea Pouches
Tea is delicate. Its aroma fades quickly when it meets air, light and moisture, and loose leaves can be crushed by the wrong package. Custom tea pouches keep blends fragrant with a barrier film and resealable zipper, and a window lets shoppers see the leaves, flowers and fruit pieces that make your blend special.
We print tea pouches for loose-leaf blenders, wellness brands and cafés selling retail tea.
Sizing Loose Tea
Loose tea is light and bulky, so it needs more bag than its weight suggests. A 5 × 8 × 3 inch pouch usually holds 2–3 oz of loose leaf, while denser rolled oolongs and gunpowder greens fit more. Tell us your blend and target weight and we will size the pouch, or ask for a sample to test your fill.
Design Ideas for Tea Brands
- Kraft paper with a window for an artisan look; see kraft mylar bags.
- Soft-touch matte for luxury and wellness blends.
- Full color for a bold retail range, with a color per blend.
- Compostable film for eco-focused brands.
Samples and Gift Sets
Small flat pouches make perfect tea samples and tasting sets. Pair them with a full-size pouch of the same design so customers recognize the brand when they come back.
Tea and Coffee Together
Many cafés sell both. Print coffee bags and tea pouches in a matching design and order them together, with one proof process and one delivery.
Keeping Tea Fresh
Green, white and floral teas lose aroma fastest. A metallized or foil barrier keeps light and oxygen out, and a press-to-close zipper reseals the pouch after every use. Store filled pouches somewhere cool and dry, away from strong-smelling products, because tea absorbs odors easily.
For tea bags rather than loose leaf, a flat pouch or a slim stand-up pouch keeps a stack of bags neat and fresh.
Building a Tea Range
A tea range looks best with a consistent layout and one color per blend. Many brands print the same bag design in several colors and add the blend name in a fixed position, which keeps the shelf tidy and helps customers find their favorite.
