Which EARTHPOUCH DO I NEED?

Our Earthpouches are a plastic-free, sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.  Made entirely out of paper, your clients are able to simply recycle them from home through the paper stream. So, they are a great way to represent your products in an eco-friendly way, and to demonstrate that your business takes environmental issues seriously.

Earthpouches are designed to keep food fresh and extend shelf life, and they contain a barrier on the inside, meaning that they are suitable for moist foods as well as dry.
Not only this, but they look extremely stylish and unique, giving a rustic and eye-catching look to your products.
But, since we offer both standard and high barrier Earthpouches, how do you know which one you need for your product? To answer this, we have put together a quick guide to help you make your decision.
​
Standard Barrier Earthpouches
Our standard range of Earthpouches are suitable for foods that are not too sensitive to moisture or oxygen. This covers things like granola, dark chocolate, flour and sugar.

High Barrier Earthpouches
The high barrier Earthpouches offer even more protection against moisture and oxygen, and are suitable for foods such as milk chocolate, vitamins, protein powders, dry pet food, nuts, tea and coffee.

We have recently completed a project with Yallah coffee, showing that these higher barrier pouches can be a great packaging option for coffee, especially for some of the country's smaller coffee roasters. It is worth noting that we cannot include valves in the pouches, which is sometimes a requirement with coffee.

Yallah simply recommended their customers to transfer the coffee to a tin, once opened, if they were not planning on drinking the coffee too quickly. 

We hope this sparks your imagination for the different uses of Earthpouches. If you have any questions on which pouch may be right for your particular product, please do get in touch at ellie.balderson@sirane.com.
