The bag is manufactured using a multilayer, high-barrier structure designed to shield green coffee beans from oxygen, moisture, oils, solvents and temperature variation.
This construction retains aroma and flavour from the point of origin through to the roastery.
Penta Pak 12.5 features a five-panel, pentagonal shape with a flat base – a design that improves stability and enables more efficient stacking in warehouses and during shipment.
The hermetic sealing of the bag allows coffee beans to maintain their natural moisture levels and characteristics without the use of chemical preservatives.

By GlobalDataThe packaging incorporates a nine-layer high-barrier film that withstands temperatures from –30°C to +90°C, enabling international transport across diverse climate conditions.
The bags are transparent and retain their shape, allowing visual checks of the contents.
They can also be placed inside secondary packaging such as jute or polypropylene sacks for added protection.
The bags are fully recyclable and reusable, and form part of its wider sustainability programme, which includes initiatives to collect and recycle used packaging globally.
The Penta Pak 12.5 holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management and ISO 22000:2018 certification for food safety and complies with US Food and Drugs Administration and European Union food-contact packaging requirements.
The 10kg format is intended to improve handling, storage and transport efficiency while addressing issues such as post-harvest losses, climate variability and long-distance shipping.
