Custom printed tea pouches for loose leaf, herbal and flowering teas, made to your fill weight, size and barrier requirement.
A flat pouch without a zipper suits single-use sachets, not a 100 g retail pack that gets opened daily. For loose leaf tea that is opened repeatedly, a stand-up or flat bottom pouch with a zipper and a foil or high-barrier laminate is the usual starting point. Kraft paper with a window suits teas where leaf appearance sells the pack and light exposure is manageable.
We print, laminate and make the bags in our own cleanroom plant in Shenzhen. You get a recommended structure and an itemized quote in one business day, with each option priced if two fit.

Our Product Range
Tea Pouch Styles Compared: Stand-Up, Flat Bottom, Flat Pouch and Kraft with Window
We recommend one structure in writing and price each alternative separately.
Stand-up and flat bottom
Stand-up pouches suit 50 to 250 g loose leaf packs and sit well on shelf with full-surface print. Flat bottom pouches give five printable panels and stand more stably, which suits premium retail and gift sets. Both are usually fitted with a zipper when the tea is opened repeatedly.
Flat pouch and kraft with window
Flat pouches suit small sachets and samples, typically without a zipper. Kraft pouches with a window show the leaf, but the window admits light, so we advise on size against your tea's sensitivity. Fill weight, shelf display and opening frequency decide the choice.
Keeping Loose Leaf Fresh: Barrier Choices for Green, Black, Herbal and Flowering Teas
Foil and metallized laminates
Aluminum foil laminate gives the highest barrier against moisture, light and aroma transfer. It is the usual choice for green tea and delicate flowering teas that lose color and flavor quickly. Metallized film gives a lower barrier at lower cost and can suit teas with a shorter target shelf life. Foil and metallized bags are not recyclable.
Kraft and windows
Kraft paper laminate gives a natural look, with the barrier coming from the inner layers, so the inner film must match the tea. A window trades light protection for visibility. Black teas and many herbal blends tolerate this better than green tea. If you need compostable, mono-PE or recycled-content structures, ask for that exact structure and we will quote it with its film certificates. Those structures start at 30,000 pcs per design.
