The problem

A delicate leaf calls for a considered approach to light, moisture and aroma protection.

Light, moisture and oxygen protection belong in the same brief. Compare opaque laminates with window options against your tea and its intended shelf life.

Tea Companies, in four builds.

These are the constructions and fill sizes the plant runs for tea companies. The build is fixed by what you pack; everything printed on it is yours to direct.

Each one is a construction and a fill size the plant runs for tea companies, shown in a different brand language. Every brand shown here is invented. These are design studies, not photographs of printed customer orders, and nothing pictured is a supplier specification.

The same build, four ways

One tea caddy, four directions.

The band above shows which constructions the plant runs for tea companies. This one holds a single one of them - a flat-bottom box pouch at 100 g loose leaf, the construction we would start you on - printed four ways. Same bag, same size, same plant. The build is not the thing that decides how yours looks.

Structure

Why this stack, for this category

A brown kraft printed face over an aluminium layer, sealed with polyethylene. Light is what costs a delicate leaf its aroma, so an opaque structure is the starting point and a window is a deliberate trade for shelf appeal.

Outer layer

BROWN KRAFT PAPER

Catalog page 8 prints this in a menu of outer, middle and inner options under the heading "the material structure can be customized". It publishes no approved combination and no unit for the gauge, so the layer order and the thickness are set with your quote.

Middle layer

AL7
