5 lb and 2 lb Bulk Coffee Bags
Our 2 lb and 5 lb bulk coffee bags are custom printed to your artwork from 500 bags per design — not plain unprinted stock bags. Reinforced multi-layer barrier laminates (130–160 microns) with quad-seal edges protect heavy wholesale coffee shipments for cafe hoppers and foodservice accounts.
Tin-Tie, Zipper & Spot UV Finishes
Choose factory-applied tin-tie coffee bags for traditional 12 oz and 1 lb roll-down reclosing, a 22 mm front pocket zipper for retail shelves, or an open heat-seal top for fast wholesale filling. Spot UV can be layered over matte film to give logos and roast details a tactile contrast.
