Tea loses aroma faster than almost any dry good, which makes barrier quality the first specification for tea packaging. Our custom tea pouches use foil or metallized laminates with a resealable zipper to protect loose leaf, matcha, herbal blends and flowering tea from light, oxygen and moisture.
Styles include stand-up pouches for retail shelves and side gusset bags for larger loose-leaf volumes. Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities, printed to your artwork in up to 10 colors.

Foil and metallized laminates keep delicate leaf aromas in and pantry odors out — the difference between a second purchase and a complaint.
Optional windows show leaf quality and color while UV-filtering films protect the tea behind the glass-effect panel.
Zippers and tin-ties keep 50 g – 500 g packs aromatic between sessions.
Stand-up pouches for boutique retail; side gusset for wholesale bulk; sample sachets for tasting sets.
Digital printing supports harvest-date labels and seasonal blends without cylinder costs.

Tea bags are built with high aroma-barrier laminates to protect delicate leaf and aroma compounds. Every order runs through incoming material inspection, in-line print and seal checks, and a final AQL sampling inspection before packing. Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities. Certification is held by our manufacturing partners, and test reports for migration, seal strength and barrier performance can be issued with your shipment on request.
Two production routes to fit different run sizes and budgets:
| Print route | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Digital printing | From 5,000 pcs per design | Single-origin releases, gift sets and multi-SKU catalogues |
| Rotogravure printing | From 10,000 pcs per design | Lowest unit cost at volume, up to 10 colours |
All prices are quoted per design, so mix SKUs freely inside the same run. Trade terms are FOB Shantou, with CIF and DDP available on request.
